Executive Summary
Built in 1923 and positioned on a corner lot at 2 Adams Street NW, this four-bedroom row house sits at the intersection of Bloomingdale and Eckington — two of DC’s most established NW neighborhoods. The home offers three full baths, one half bath, and a private garage, a combination that is genuinely rare at this price point in the District. Priced at $525,000, it presents a compelling entry into a neighborhood with deep architectural character and strong transit connectivity.
A Corner Row House With a Century of Character
The home at 2 Adams Street NW is a 1923 corner row house in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of NW Washington, offering four bedrooms and three and a half baths on a lot that benefits from two street exposures. A private garage — uncommon for DC row houses of this era — adds meaningful everyday utility.
The Bloomingdale and Eckington corridor has long attracted buyers who value walkable urban living, proximity to the Red Line at Rhode Island Avenue, and the architectural integrity of early-twentieth-century DC construction. This home sits squarely in that context.
At $525,000, the combination of bedroom count, bath count, garage parking, and corner positioning represents a considered value proposition in a submarket where comparable configurations routinely trade at a premium.

Property Location
About 2 Adams St NW
The home at 2 Adams Street NW was constructed in 1923, placing it firmly within the era of DC’s most prolific row house development. Corner positioning on Adams Street NW provides two-sided street exposure, which typically translates to additional natural light and a more open relationship to the surrounding streetscape. The four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath layout accommodates a range of living configurations, and the private garage is a feature that sets this home apart from the majority of comparably priced row houses in the area.
Bloomingdale occupies a well-defined stretch of NW DC, bounded by the historic Old Soldiers’ Home to the north and the Rhode Island Avenue corridor to the east. The neighborhood’s First Street NW commercial strip includes local cafes, a farmers market, and neighborhood dining. Rhode Island Avenue Metro on the Red Line provides direct access to downtown DC, Union Station, and points north into Maryland.
Daily life in Bloomingdale is oriented around walkable errands, neighborhood gathering spots, and easy transit access. The Red Line at Rhode Island Avenue connects residents to the broader Metro system without requiring a transfer for most downtown destinations. Local parks, the nearby McMillan Reservoir site, and the established streetscape of early-twentieth-century architecture give the neighborhood a grounded, residential character that distinguishes it from higher-density NW corridors.
A Wardman team member and the Wardman Residential team at Compass have worked extensively with row house buyers and sellers across Bloomingdale, Eckington, and the broader NW DC submarket. We understand the nuances of this neighborhood’s inventory — from corner-lot premiums to the value of garage parking in a market where it is genuinely scarce. If you are considering a row house in Bloomingdale or the surrounding NW neighborhoods, we welcome the conversation and are glad to share recent comparables and our perspective on current market conditions.
