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.

Corner Lot Advantage
Corner lots in DC’s row house stock are a structural rarity. Two Adams Street benefits from additional light exposure, a wider visual footprint, and the kind of separation from neighboring structures that interior-lot row houses simply cannot offer. That distinction carries real weight in a dense urban market.
Rare Garage Parking
A private one-car garage is among the most sought-after features in DC row house transactions. The majority of homes in this price range and era offer street parking only. This home’s garage represents a tangible daily convenience and a meaningful differentiator in resale positioning.
Neighborhood Context
Bloomingdale is a historically significant NW neighborhood defined by late-Victorian and early-twentieth-century row house architecture, a walkable commercial corridor along First Street NW, and proximity to the Rhode Island Avenue Metro station on the Red Line. The neighborhood’s built environment has remained largely intact, which is part of its enduring appeal.
Value at This Price
Four bedrooms and three and a half baths in a corner row house with garage parking, priced at $525,000, is a configuration that demands attention in the current DC market. Comparable homes with this combination of features in NW DC have consistently traded at or above this range, making the ask price a disciplined entry point.

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.
