A 1912 Bloomingdale Row House With Enduring Character

The row house at 2030 4th Street NW is a product of early-twentieth-century Washington, constructed in 1912 and situated on one of Bloomingdale’s quieter residential blocks. At 1,030 square feet, the home offers three bedrooms and one and a half baths within a classic DC row house configuration that has defined this neighborhood’s streetscape for over a century.

Bloomingdale occupies a distinct position in NW Washington, bounded by the historic McMillan Reservoir site to the north and the Shaw and LeDroit Park neighborhoods to the south and east. The area’s tree-lined streets and intact Victorian-era row house stock give it a residential density and architectural coherence that newer construction rarely replicates.

Transit access in this corridor is practical and well-distributed. The Shaw-Howard University Metro station on the Green and Yellow lines is within reach, and the neighborhood sits along several bus corridors connecting to downtown DC and beyond. The combination of walkability and transit options makes 4th Street NW a functional base for navigating the broader city.

A Wardman team member guided the buyer through this acquisition, bringing familiarity with Bloomingdale’s row house market and the nuances of purchasing historic DC properties. The team’s experience in NW Washington’s established residential neighborhoods informed every stage of the advisory process.

The Property
The home at 2030 4th Street NW was built in 1912 and reflects the row house typology that defines Bloomingdale’s residential fabric. Three bedrooms and 1,030 square feet of interior space sit within a classic DC configuration, with one full bath and one half bath serving the layout.
The Neighborhood
Bloomingdale is one of NW Washington’s most architecturally intact neighborhoods, characterized by continuous rows of late-Victorian and Edwardian-era homes. The neighborhood’s proximity to the McMillan Sand Filtration Site redevelopment area and its adjacency to Shaw and LeDroit Park give it a layered urban context that few DC corridors can match.
Transit and Access
The Shaw-Howard University Metro station provides Green and Yellow line access within a reasonable walk of 4th Street NW. Multiple bus lines supplement rail service, and the neighborhood’s grid layout supports direct pedestrian and cycling routes to major employment and cultural destinations across the city.
The Wardman Perspective
A Wardman team member supported the buyer through this transaction, drawing on the team’s established knowledge of Bloomingdale and the broader NW row house market. The advisory process included comparable sales analysis and guidance on the structural and historical considerations specific to early-twentieth-century DC homes.

The home was built in 1912, making it over 110 years old.

A thorough inspection and review of permit history are standard steps in acquiring a home of this vintage.
The Shaw-Howard University Metro station on the Green and Yellow lines is the closest rail option and is accessible on foot from the Bloomingdale neighborhood. Multiple bus corridors along Rhode Island Avenue and nearby streets provide additional transit coverage for destinations not directly served by the Metro.
