Columbia Heights NW

A Sherman Avenue Row House With Rare Off-Street Parking

3209 Sherman Avenue NW is a 1906 row house situated on one of Columbia Heights’ most architecturally consistent residential corridors. The continuous masonry facades that line this block represent the neighborhood’s defining built character, and this home contributes to that streetscape while offering the practical advantage of a paved driveway.

Off-street parking is uncommon on Sherman Avenue’s block type, and the driveway here is a genuine differentiator for buyers who prioritize that convenience. The two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath layout provides a workable footprint for everyday living, with two full baths and a half bath distributed across the home.

Columbia Heights is one of NW DC’s most transit-accessible and commercially active neighborhoods, with the Columbia Heights Metro station providing direct access to the Green and Yellow lines. The surrounding blocks offer a dense mix of dining, retail, and daily services that make car-free or car-light living practical.

At $479,800, this row house represents a considered entry into the Columbia Heights market, combining historic architectural character, functional layout, and a parking advantage that is difficult to replicate on comparable blocks.

Historic Street Presence
The home was built in 1906 and sits within the continuous masonry row house fabric that gives Sherman Avenue its architectural identity. The facade and streetscape context reflect more than a century of Columbia Heights residential character, placing this property within one of NW DC’s most recognizable historic block types.
Parking Advantage
A paved driveway provides on-site off-street parking, which is a meaningful differentiator on this block type. Buyers familiar with Columbia Heights understand how rarely this feature appears on Sherman Avenue, and its presence here adds practical value that does not show up in square footage or bedroom count alone.
Neighborhood Connectivity
Columbia Heights Metro is accessible from this address, connecting residents to the Green and Yellow lines and placing downtown DC within a short commute. The surrounding neighborhood offers a dense concentration of dining, grocery, and retail options, supporting a walkable daily routine without reliance on a vehicle.
Market Positioning
At $479,800, the home is positioned as a direct entry into the Columbia Heights row house market. The combination of a 1906 masonry exterior, a two-bedroom two-and-a-half-bath layout, and on-site parking creates a profile that is difficult to replicate at this price point in this neighborhood.

Why This Home Stands Out

  • 1906 masonry row house on a cohesive Sherman Avenue block
  • Off-street paved driveway — rare on this block type
  • Two bedrooms and two full baths plus a half bath
  • Direct access to Columbia Heights Metro (Green and Yellow lines)
  • Priced at $479,800 in an established NW DC neighborhood

Property Location

About 3209 Sherman Ave NW

3209 Sherman Avenue NW is a two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath row house built in 1906, situated on one of Columbia Heights’ most architecturally intact residential blocks. The home’s masonry exterior is consistent with the continuous facade character that defines the Sherman Avenue streetscape. A paved driveway provides off-street parking on site, a feature that distinguishes this property from the majority of comparable row houses on this block type.

Columbia Heights is one of NW DC’s most commercially active and transit-connected neighborhoods, anchored by the Columbia Heights Metro station on the Green and Yellow lines. Sherman Avenue runs through the heart of the neighborhood, lined with masonry row houses that reflect the area’s early twentieth-century residential development. The surrounding blocks support a walkable daily routine, with grocery, dining, and retail options within close reach of the address.

The Sherman Avenue location places everyday conveniences within walking distance, from neighborhood grocery options to a concentrated dining and coffee corridor along 14th Street NW. Metro access supports a car-light lifestyle, while the on-site driveway accommodates those who prefer or require a vehicle. The 1906 row house format — with its defined floor-by-floor layout and masonry construction — offers a living experience that is distinctly rooted in DC’s residential architectural tradition.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

Key details about the residence, building, and location to help you evaluate this opportunity.

The home includes a paved driveway that provides off-street parking on site. On Sherman Avenue’s block type, this is an uncommon feature — most comparable row houses on this corridor do not offer dedicated parking. For buyers who own or plan to own a vehicle, this distinction carries real practical value.
This is a fee-simple row house with no HOA or condo association. Buyers are not subject to monthly association fees or the governance structures that accompany condominium ownership. That independence is a meaningful consideration for buyers comparing row houses to condo alternatives in the Columbia Heights market.
The 1906 build date places this home within Columbia Heights’ original residential development period. Masonry row houses from this era are characterized by solid construction, defined room layouts, and exterior facades that contribute to the cohesive streetscape character of Sherman Avenue. Buyers should conduct standard due diligence on systems and condition as they would with any home of this vintage.
The Columbia Heights Metro station, served by the Green and Yellow lines, is accessible from this address. Those lines connect directly to downtown DC, U Street, and points south and north. The station’s proximity supports a practical commute without reliance on a vehicle for most daily destinations.
Sherman Avenue is one of Columbia Heights’ primary residential corridors, characterized by continuous masonry row house facades built largely in the early twentieth century. The block has a defined architectural identity that reflects the neighborhood’s historic development pattern. Commercial activity, dining, and transit are concentrated nearby along 14th Street NW and the Columbia Heights civic core.
At $479,800, this home offers a two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath configuration with on-site parking — a combination that is difficult to replicate in the Columbia Heights row house market at this price point. The additional half bath and the driveway both represent features that typically command a premium in comparable listings. Wardman can provide recent comparables to contextualize the pricing.
Columbia Heights is served by DC Public Schools and several public charter school options within the neighborhood. Buyers with school-age children should consult DCPS directly to confirm current boundary assignments and enrollment options, as school assignments in DC can vary and are subject to change.
The Wardman Residential team at Compass has direct experience with Columbia Heights row houses and the NW DC resale market. We can provide recent comparable sales, context on how parking and bath count affect pricing on this block type, and advisory support through the offer and due diligence process.
