A Century-Old Row House on Newton Street NW

1460 Newton Street NW is a four-bedroom row house in Columbia Heights, a neighborhood defined by its dense urban fabric, early-twentieth-century residential architecture, and proximity to the commercial corridors of 14th Street and 16th Street NW. The home was built in 1900 and sits within a block of properties that share its scale and form, creating the cohesive streetscape that characterizes this part of the city.

The row house spans 2,234 square feet across its full footprint, providing room configurations that support a range of living arrangements. With four bedrooms, one full bath, and one half bath, the home offers the spatial depth that buyers seeking NW row house scale typically prioritize. The classic facade and tree-lined block setting reinforce the architectural identity of the Newton Street corridor.

Columbia Heights is served by the Green and Yellow Lines at the Columbia Heights Metro station, placing residents within direct reach of downtown DC and points south. The neighborhood’s 14th Street corridor offers a concentrated mix of dining, retail, and daily services, while Meridian Hill Park anchors the western edge of the neighborhood with open green space.
