Columbia Heights Residence with Garage and Full HOA Coverage

The residence at 1427 Chapin St NW #202 occupies the second floor of a 1913 building on a tree-lined block in Columbia Heights. Two bedrooms and 800 square feet offer a practical and livable footprint in one of NW DC’s most active neighborhoods.

A deeded garage space conveys with the unit — a distinction that carries real value in Columbia Heights, where street parking is competitive. The HOA package is notably comprehensive, covering water, sewer, trash, snow removal, insurance, management, and reserve contributions.

Columbia Heights places residents within easy reach of the Green and Yellow Line Metro, a dense corridor of dining and retail along 14th Street NW, and the broader connectivity of upper NW DC. The neighborhood’s walkability and transit access make car-optional living genuinely feasible.

The 1913 construction date speaks to the building’s place in the fabric of the neighborhood — a period when Columbia Heights was developing as one of DC’s premier residential districts. That architectural context, combined with the practical features of this specific unit, makes the residence a compelling option at this price point.

The Residence

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

Key details about the residence, building, and location to help you evaluate this opportunity.

The HOA covers insurance, management, reserve funds, sewer, snow removal, trash, and water. This is a notably comprehensive package that removes several variable costs from the monthly ownership equation. Buyers should confirm the current monthly fee amount directly with the listing agent or HOA.
The parking is described as a deeded garage space that conveys with the sale. A deeded space is a titled asset, distinct from an assigned or leased space, and transfers to the buyer at closing. Buyers should confirm the specifics of the parking deed in the condo documents.
The Columbia Heights Metro station on the Green and Yellow Lines is a short walk from Chapin Street NW. The station provides direct access to downtown DC, U Street, and connections across the Metro system. Exact walking time should be confirmed based on the buyer’s specific commute needs.
The building was constructed in 1913, placing it among the older residential stock in Columbia Heights. Pre-war buildings of this era typically feature masonry construction and proportions distinct from modern condominium buildings. Buyers interested in the building’s specific history and condition should review the condo documents and consider a professional inspection.
Buyers should request the full condo document package, including the current reserve fund study, budget, and meeting minutes. The HOA does include reserve fund contributions, which is a positive indicator of financial planning. A review by a real estate attorney or experienced buyer’s agent is advisable before proceeding.
Two-bedroom condos with deeded garage spaces in Columbia Heights are relatively uncommon, particularly in pre-war buildings. The comprehensive HOA coverage and transit proximity add to the value proposition. A Wardman team member can provide recent comparable sales to help contextualize the $515,000 asking price.
