A 12th Street Row House in the Heart of Columbia Heights

The home at 2246 12th Street NW is a 1920-era row house in Columbia Heights, one of NW Washington’s most established and walkable urban neighborhoods. At 1,358 square feet, the two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath layout offers a practical and livable footprint within a classic DC residential form.

Private, secured driveway parking is among the property’s most tangible differentiators. In Columbia Heights, where street parking is competitive and off-street options are scarce, a concrete, fenced, paved private driveway represents meaningful everyday value.

The surrounding blocks place residents within walking distance of the Columbia Heights Metro station on the Green and Yellow Lines, along with a dense mix of grocery, dining, and neighborhood retail that lines 14th Street and Irving Street NW.

At $871,000, this row house represents a direct entry into one of DC’s most connected NW corridors, with the structural character of a century-old home and the practical infrastructure of private parking rarely found at this price point in the immediate area.

The Property
Built in 1920, the row house at 2246 12th Street NW sits in Columbia Heights and offers 1,358 square feet across two bedrooms and two and a half baths. The classic DC row house form provides a vertical layout with defined living, dining, and sleeping levels typical of the neighborhood’s residential stock.
Private Parking
The home includes a concrete driveway with fenced, paved, private, and secure parking — a combination that is genuinely uncommon in this part of NW. Off-street parking in Columbia Heights adds measurable utility and resale relevance that buyers in this corridor consistently prioritize.
Neighborhood Position
Columbia Heights places this home within walking distance of the Metro’s Green and Yellow Lines and a walkable grid of restaurants, cafes, grocery options, and neighborhood services. The 14th Street corridor and Irving Street NW are both accessible on foot, anchoring daily convenience.
The Opportunity
Priced at $871,000, the home enters the market as a century-old NW row house with private parking — a pairing that is harder to find than the price alone suggests. Buyers seeking structural character, urban connectivity, and practical infrastructure in one address will find this a compelling option.

Property Location

About 2246 12th St NW

The row house at 2246 12th Street NW was built in 1920 and represents the classic DC residential typology that defines Columbia Heights’ streetscape. The home spans 1,358 square feet across two bedrooms and two full baths, with an additional half bath serving the main living level. The vertical layout characteristic of DC row houses provides clear separation between living and sleeping spaces, a configuration that has proven durable across a century of urban living.

Columbia Heights is one of NW Washington’s most densely connected urban neighborhoods, anchored by the Columbia Heights Metro station on the Green and Yellow Lines. The 14th Street corridor runs parallel to 12th Street and delivers a concentrated mix of dining, retail, and grocery options within walking distance. Irving Street NW and the surrounding residential blocks form a walkable grid that extends toward Meridian Hill Park to the south and Park View to the north, giving the neighborhood both green space and urban density in close proximity.

Daily life from 12th Street NW is oriented around walkability and transit access. The Columbia Heights Metro station connects riders directly to downtown DC, U Street, and points south on the Green and Yellow Lines, making car-free commuting a practical reality. Local cafes, neighborhood restaurants, and grocery options along 14th Street and Irving Street NW are accessible on foot, and Meridian Hill Park offers a significant green space anchor a short walk to the south. The private driveway parking adds a layer of convenience that complements, rather than substitutes for, the neighborhood’s transit orientation.
