A Century-Old Row House With Off-Street Parking in the Heart of Bloomingdale

1835 5th St NW stands as a four-bedroom row house on one of Bloomingdale’s established residential blocks, its facade consistent with the 1900-era streetscape that gives the neighborhood its architectural character. The home offers four bedrooms and three full baths, a configuration that provides meaningful flexibility across the floor plan.

Off-street parking via a paved driveway is among the most practical advantages a DC row house can carry. In Bloomingdale, where on-street parking is competitive, this feature represents a tangible daily convenience that is difficult to replicate in the immediate area.

Bloomingdale occupies a central position in NW Washington, with proximity to the Green and Yellow Line corridors, the Rhode Island Avenue commercial strip, and the dining and retail activity along First Street NW. The neighborhood’s late-19th and early-20th century housing stock has remained largely intact, making 5th Street a representative example of the area’s built environment.

At $715,000, this home is positioned within the active Bloomingdale resale market for four-bedroom row houses. The combination of bedroom count, full bath configuration, and off-street parking places it among the more substantive offerings at this price point in the submarket.

The Property
1835 5th St NW is a four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath row house built in 1900 in Bloomingdale, NW. The home’s facade aligns with the historic streetscape that characterizes this block of 5th Street, and the floor plan accommodates four bedrooms across three full baths and one half bath.
Parking Advantage
A paved driveway delivers off-street parking — a feature that carries genuine scarcity value in Bloomingdale. Row houses with dedicated parking in this neighborhood command attention in the resale market, and this home’s driveway is a structural advantage that cannot easily be added after purchase.
Neighborhood Context
Bloomingdale sits at the intersection of several active NW corridors. First Street NW anchors a walkable dining and retail strip, and the neighborhood connects readily to Shaw, Eckington, and the broader Rhode Island Avenue axis. Green and Yellow Line access is available at nearby stations.
Market Position
At $715,000, the home is priced within the established range for four-bedroom Bloomingdale row houses. The combination of bedroom count, bath configuration, and off-street parking makes this a substantive offering in a submarket where that specific combination is not always available simultaneously.
