Kingman Park Row House with Secure Parking and H Street Access

The home at 1738 Gales Street NE sits in Kingman Park, one of NE Washington’s most well-positioned residential pockets, within easy reach of the H Street Atlas Arts Corridor and the Stadium-Armory Metro station. Built in 1948 and renovated in 2013, the brick exterior and metal roof give the structure a durable, low-maintenance profile on a 1,253-square-foot lot.

Inside, the layout spans 1,120 square feet across two stories with three bedrooms and 1.5 baths. Hardwood floors run throughout, and a skylight over the full bath brings natural light to the upper level. The main level includes a flexible third bedroom suited for a home office or guest room, while two additional bedrooms occupy the upper floor.

The kitchen is equipped with stainless-steel appliances, and double-pane windows contribute to energy efficiency and interior quiet. Recent capital improvements — a new roof, new hot water heater, and newly installed automated roll-up gate — reduce near-term maintenance obligations for the next owner.

Secure off-street parking accessed through the automated gate is a meaningful differentiator in this neighborhood. The large rear patio extends the usable footprint of the home and provides a private outdoor area uncommon at this price point along the corridor.

Renovated and Move-In Ready
The home was renovated in 2013 and has received additional updates since, including a new roof, new hot water heater, and a newly installed automated roll-up gate. Hardwood floors, double-pane windows, and a skylit full bath reflect a considered renovation rather than a surface refresh. The brick exterior and metal roof support long-term durability.
Flexible Three-Bedroom Layout
Three genuine bedrooms give the layout real flexibility. The main-level bedroom functions well as a home office or guest room, while the two upper-level bedrooms share a full bath with skylight. The 1,120-square-foot footprint is efficiently organized across six rooms, with a half bath on the main level adding everyday convenience.
Recent Capital Improvements
A new roof, new hot water heater, and newly installed automated roll-up gate represent meaningful capital investment already completed. These updates reduce the near-term cost of ownership and provide a cleaner transition for the next owner. The metal roof and crawl-space foundation are consistent with the block’s mid-century construction.
Rare Secure Parking
Secure off-street parking accessed through an automated roll-up gate is genuinely uncommon along this stretch of NE Washington. The large rear patio adds private outdoor space that extends the home’s functional square footage. Together, these features distinguish 1738 Gales from the majority of comparable row houses in the immediate corridor.

Property Location

About 1738 Gales St NE

The row house at 1738 Gales Street NE is a two-story brick structure built in 1948 and renovated in 2013, offering 1,120 square feet of above-grade living space on a 1,253-square-foot lot. Three bedrooms and 1.5 baths are distributed across a practical layout, with a flexible main-level room and two upper-level bedrooms served by a skylit full bath. Hardwood floors, double-pane windows, and central air conditioning reflect the scope of the 2013 renovation. There is no HOA or condo fee, and the property carries an annual tax assessment of $651,130 for 2026.

Gales Street NE sits at the intersection of Kingman Park and the H Street Corridor, two of NE Washington’s most active residential and commercial zones. The H Street Atlas Arts Corridor is within easy reach, offering a dense concentration of dining, entertainment, and neighborhood retail. Ongoing development near the new stadium and Stadium-Armory Metro station continues to reshape the immediate submarket. The block itself is a residential street of brick row houses consistent with the neighborhood’s mid-century character.

Day-to-day life from this address draws on the H Street Corridor’s walkable amenities — local cafes, restaurants, and neighborhood services are accessible without a car. The Stadium-Armory Metro station is less than a mile away, connecting the home to downtown DC and the broader WMATA network. The large rear patio and secure off-street parking address two practical priorities that are often difficult to satisfy simultaneously in this part of the city. The automated roll-up gate adds a layer of vehicle security that is uncommon at this price point.

The Wardman Residential team at Compass works extensively across NE Washington, including the H Street Corridor and Kingman Park submarket, where row house inventory moves quickly and buyer competition for parking-equipped homes is consistent. We track active listings, recent comparables, and off-market opportunities across this corridor and the broader DC NE quadrant.
