A Petworth Row House With Depth, History, and a Private Garage

234 Madison St NW is a three-bedroom row house in Petworth, NW, built in 1931 and offering 2,013 square feet of interior space. The home carries the architectural character typical of the neighborhood’s early-twentieth-century stock, with a layout that accommodates daily living across multiple floors.

The private one-car garage is a meaningful asset in a neighborhood where off-street parking is limited. Two full baths and a half bath serve the three-bedroom configuration, providing practical flexibility for the home’s full footprint.

Petworth sits along the Georgia Avenue corridor, connecting residents to neighborhood restaurants, local grocers, and the broader NW street grid. The Green Line’s Petworth Metro station is a short walk away, placing downtown DC and points south within easy commuting range.

At $540,000, this home represents a substantive entry point into one of NW Washington’s most enduring residential neighborhoods, with the scale, parking, and transit access that define long-term livability in the District.

The Home and Its Scale
234 Madison St NW is a 1931-built row house spanning 2,013 square feet across three bedrooms and two and a half baths. The home’s footprint reflects the classic NW DC row house form — vertical, efficient, and built to last. Its age brings architectural detail that newer construction rarely replicates.
Parking and Practicality
The private one-car garage is among the most practical features a DC row house can offer. Street parking in Petworth is competitive, and a dedicated off-street space adds daily convenience that is difficult to quantify until it is absent. This is a structural advantage, not an afterthought.
Neighborhood and Connectivity
Petworth’s position along Georgia Avenue NW gives residents direct access to neighborhood dining, coffee, and retail without requiring a car. The Petworth Metro station on the Green Line connects the neighborhood to Columbia Heights, Shaw, and downtown DC, making the location functional for a wide range of daily patterns.
Value in Context
Priced at $540,000, this home sits within the active mid-range of the Petworth resale market. The combination of square footage, a private garage, and proximity to the Green Line positions it competitively against comparable NW row houses in the same price band.
