Columbia Heights NW

Sherman Avenue Row House with a Century of Character

The home at 2809 Sherman Avenue NW sits within one of DC’s most established NW neighborhoods, on a residential streetscape that has defined Columbia Heights for well over a century. Built in 1915, the row house carries the proportions and craftsmanship typical of its era, offering buyers a genuine piece of the city’s architectural fabric at a price point that remains accessible in the current market.

Three bedrooms and three and a half baths are distributed across 1,400 square feet, a configuration that provides meaningful flexibility in how the space is used. The half-bath adds everyday convenience, and the three full baths mean that no bedroom is left without dedicated access to a full bath arrangement.

A small homeowners association keeps shared building costs organized, covering water, sewer, and insurance. This structure simplifies ownership and provides a degree of predictability in monthly carrying costs that purely standalone ownership does not always offer.

Meridian Hill Park, one of DC’s most recognized green spaces, is close by, providing a significant outdoor amenity in an otherwise urban setting. The neighborhood’s transit access, walkable retail, and proximity to the broader NW corridor make Sherman Avenue a practical and well-positioned address.

Historic Row House
The home dates to 1915 and occupies a classic position on Sherman Avenue NW, a street that reflects the residential character Columbia Heights has maintained across generations. The row house form is integral to this neighborhood’s identity, and this address delivers that experience at a considered price.
Flexible Floor Plan
Three bedrooms and three and a half baths across 1,400 square feet offer a layout that accommodates varied living arrangements. The full bath count relative to bedroom count is a practical advantage that distinguishes this home from more typical configurations in the price range.
Simplified Ownership
The small association structure covers water, sewer, and insurance, removing several variable costs from the ownership equation. For buyers weighing the responsibilities of a fully detached property against the simplicity of a managed building, this arrangement offers a useful middle ground.
Green Space Access
Meridian Hill Park anchors the neighborhood’s outdoor amenity profile, offering open lawns, formal terraces, and a well-used recreational space within easy reach of the front door. The park is among the more significant green assets in NW DC and adds measurable quality to daily life on Sherman Avenue.
