Lincoln Road Row House with Historic Masonry and Brookland Roots

The home at 1738 Lincoln Rd NE is a semi-detached row house built in 1905, representing a well-preserved example of the masonry residential construction that characterizes Lincoln Road’s historic streetscape. At 1,308 square feet, the three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath layout offers a practical and livable footprint within one of NE Washington’s most enduring neighborhoods.

Brookland has long been defined by its tree-lined streets, early-twentieth-century housing stock, and walkable access to the Red Line at Brookland-CUA Metro. Lincoln Road NE sits at the heart of this fabric, with the home’s semi-detached configuration providing side exposure and both front and rear outdoor areas uncommon in denser DC corridors.

Offered at $650,000, this home presents an opportunity to own a structurally grounded, historically rooted property in a neighborhood with deep residential identity and strong transit connectivity.

Historic Masonry Structure
The home was built in 1905 using masonry construction characteristic of Lincoln Road NE’s early residential development. That structural integrity, combined with the semi-detached configuration, distinguishes this property from the attached row houses more common throughout NE Washington. The building’s age and material quality are defining assets.
Practical Three-Bedroom Layout
Three bedrooms and two full baths, plus a half bath, are distributed across 1,308 square feet. The layout supports a range of living arrangements without the spatial compromises often found in comparably priced DC properties. The floor plan is straightforward and functional.
Outdoor Areas and Side Exposure
The semi-detached structure provides side exposure that brings additional natural light and a degree of separation from neighboring homes. Front and rear outdoor areas extend the usable footprint beyond the interior square footage, a meaningful advantage in an urban residential setting.
Brookland Transit Access
The Brookland-CUA Metro station on the Red Line is accessible on foot from Lincoln Road NE, connecting residents to downtown DC and the broader Metrorail network. The surrounding neighborhood supports daily errands on foot, with local dining, coffee, and retail concentrated along 12th Street NE and Monroe Street NE.
