A 1915 Kingman Park Row House with Capitol Hill Proximity

The row house at 255 14th Pl NE was built in 1915, placing it among the earliest residential construction in Kingman Park. The neighborhood developed rapidly in the early twentieth century and retains much of its original streetscape character, making this block a representative example of pre-war NE Washington.

At 980 square feet across two bedrooms and two and a half baths, the home is efficiently scaled for the District. The layout reflects the proportions typical of the era — defined rooms, vertical massing, and a front facade that reads as part of a coherent urban block rather than an isolated structure.

Kingman Park sits just east of the Capitol Hill Historic District, with Stadium-Armory Metro providing direct access to the broader city. The neighborhood’s proximity to the H Street corridor and RFK grounds gives it a range of nearby options for dining, recreation, and daily needs.

Joe DeFilippo represented the buyer in this transaction, bringing Wardman Residential’s NE Washington expertise to bear on a submarket where pre-war row houses at this price point require careful evaluation of condition, comparable sales, and long-term positioning.

Historic 1915 Construction
The home dates to 1915, a period when Kingman Park was being platted and built out as a streetcar-accessible residential neighborhood. The construction era is evident in the massing, proportions, and facade detailing that characterize the block. Pre-war row houses of this vintage are among the most sought-after stock in NE Washington.
Efficient Two-Bedroom Layout
Two bedrooms and two and a half baths are arranged across 980 square feet, a floor plan that prioritizes defined living spaces over open-plan informality. The configuration is well-suited to the scale of the structure and consistent with how homes of this era were designed and built in the District.
Kingman Park Context
Kingman Park occupies a distinct position in NE Washington — east of the Capitol Hill Historic District boundary, with its own architectural identity and a residential character shaped by early-twentieth-century development patterns. Stadium-Armory Metro and the H Street corridor are both accessible from the neighborhood.
Buyer Representation
Joe DeFilippo and the Wardman Residential team at Compass guided the buyer through this acquisition, applying detailed knowledge of the Kingman Park and Capitol Hill East submarket. The team’s familiarity with pre-war NE row houses informed the evaluation of condition, pricing, and comparable transactions in the area.
