A Bloomingdale Row House With Historic Bones and Room to Live

The row house at 1614 New Jersey Ave NW sits in Bloomingdale, one of NW DC’s most architecturally cohesive neighborhoods, where late-19th and early-20th century homes line wide, tree-canopied streets. Built in 1900, this three-bedroom home carries the proportions and detailing that define the era — high ceilings, a classic front facade, and a layout that balances formal and informal living.

At 1,808 square feet, the home offers meaningful space across its three bedrooms and two and a half baths. The footprint is well-suited to everyday living, with room to configure the interior to suit a range of uses. The half bath on the main level adds practical convenience without interrupting the flow of the primary living areas.

New Jersey Avenue NW is a significant corridor in this part of the city, connecting Bloomingdale to Shaw and LeDroit Park. The location places residents within reach of the dining and retail activity along Rhode Island Avenue and First Street NW, as well as the green space of McMillan Reservoir and Crispus Attucks Park nearby.

The Wardman Residential team at Compass represented the buyer in this transaction, bringing local knowledge of the Bloomingdale submarket and the NW DC row house inventory to the advisory process. The team’s familiarity with comparable sales along this corridor informed the buyer’s positioning and due diligence.

The home’s facade reads as authentically of its era.
Proportioned for Daily Life
The 1,808-square-foot interior accommodates three bedrooms and two and a half baths across a layout that reflects the generous room proportions typical of homes built at the turn of the century. The half bath on the main level serves the living and dining areas without requiring trips upstairs, a practical detail that matters in daily use.

Bloomingdale’s position between Shaw, LeDroit Park, and the McMillan development corridor makes New Jersey Avenue NW a well-connected address.
