Executive Summary

3214 Sherman Avenue NW is a four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath row house in Columbia Heights, built in 1909 and offering 2,337 square feet of living space. The home sits on a block where the historic streetscape remains largely intact, lending the address a sense of architectural continuity uncommon in many NW neighborhoods. A private one-car garage — a genuine rarity in this part of the city — adds practical value that buyers in Columbia Heights consistently seek and rarely find.

A Sherman Avenue Row House With Rare Garage Parking

3214 Sherman Avenue NW is a four-bedroom row house built in 1909, situated on one of Columbia Heights’ most visually cohesive residential blocks. At 2,337 square feet across three levels, the home offers the kind of scale that is increasingly difficult to find in NW DC at this price point.

The property includes a private one-car garage — an asset that distinguishes it immediately from the majority of Columbia Heights row houses, where off-street parking is scarce and street competition is high. For buyers who drive regularly or need secure storage, this feature alone narrows the field considerably.

Sherman Avenue’s historic streetscape provides an architectural backdrop that newer construction cannot replicate. The 1909 facade reads as part of a continuous block composition, a quality that contributes to the street’s enduring appeal and the neighborhood’s distinct character within NW DC.

Columbia Heights is a dense, walkable neighborhood with direct Metro access, a broad commercial corridor along 14th Street NW, and a mix of long-established and newer retail and dining options. The combination of neighborhood infrastructure, interior scale, and the garage makes this home a considered choice for buyers prioritizing utility alongside character.

Scale and Structure
At 2,337 square feet, this four-bedroom row house delivers living space that is genuinely hard to source in NW DC. The 1909 construction date means the home carries the proportions and room configurations of an era when residential scale was built in, not added on.
The Garage Advantage
A private one-car garage is among the most sought-after features in Columbia Heights, where off-street parking is limited and competitive. This home includes one, providing daily utility that most row houses on comparable blocks simply cannot offer.
Historic Street Presence
Sherman Avenue maintains a streetscape that reflects its original 1909 development pattern. The row house facade aligns with neighboring properties in massing and material, contributing to a block composition that reads as architecturally coherent rather than piecemeal.
Neighborhood Context
Columbia Heights sits at the intersection of transit access, commercial density, and residential character. The 14th Street corridor, nearby parks, and the Columbia Heights Metro station make this one of NW DC’s most self-sufficient neighborhoods for daily living.

Why This Home Stands Out

  • Rare private garage in Columbia Heights
  • 2337 sq ft across a classic NW row house
  • 1909 construction on an intact historic block
  • 4 bedrooms with 2 full and 1 half bath
  • Direct access to the 14th Street corridor
  • Columbia Heights Metro nearby

Property Location

About 3214 Sherman Ave NW

3214 Sherman Avenue NW is a 1909 row house in Columbia Heights, offering four bedrooms, two full baths, one half bath, and 2,337 square feet of interior space. The home’s facade is consistent with the historic character of Sherman Avenue, where the original development pattern remains largely intact more than a century after construction. A private one-car garage — accessed from the property — is among the most practical and uncommon features a Columbia Heights row house can offer.

Columbia Heights is one of NW DC’s most established and walkable neighborhoods, anchored by the 14th Street NW commercial corridor and served directly by the Columbia Heights Metro station on the Green and Yellow lines. The neighborhood offers a dense mix of local dining, retail, and services within easy reach of Sherman Avenue. Meridian Hill Park, one of DC’s most distinctive public spaces, is close at hand and serves as a central gathering point for the surrounding blocks.

Daily life on Sherman Avenue moves at the pace of a true urban neighborhood — walkable errands, accessible transit, and a residential street character that coexists with the energy of 14th Street nearby. The private garage changes the calculus for buyers who drive, eliminating the daily friction of street parking that defines life on most comparable blocks. The home’s scale, at over 2,300 square feet, supports a range of living configurations across its four bedrooms and multiple levels.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

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

The private one-car garage is the most immediate differentiator. Off-street parking is scarce in Columbia Heights, and most row houses on comparable blocks do not include it. Combined with 2,337 square feet and four bedrooms, this home occupies a narrow segment of the market.
No. This is a fee-simple row house with no HOA or condo association. Owners are responsible for their own maintenance and carry no monthly association fees, which is typical for single-family row houses in DC.
Homes built in this era typically feature higher ceilings, thicker walls, and larger room proportions than mid-century or contemporary construction. Buyers should budget for ongoing maintenance consistent with a home of this age and conduct thorough inspections of systems, structure, and envelope.
The Columbia Heights Metro station, served by the Green and Yellow lines, is the nearest station and provides direct access to downtown DC and connections across the system. Multiple bus routes along 14th Street NW supplement Metro access for daily commuting.
The property includes one private garage space, which is the primary off-street parking. Street parking on Sherman Avenue and surrounding blocks is available but competitive, as is typical throughout Columbia Heights. The garage effectively resolves the parking challenge that affects most comparable row houses.
At $930,000 and 2,337 square feet, the home is priced at approximately $398 per square foot. Buyers should review recent comparable sales in Columbia Heights to contextualize this figure, as price per square foot varies meaningfully by block, condition, and parking availability.
Meridian Hill Park, one of DC’s most architecturally distinctive public parks, is among the closest major green spaces to Sherman Avenue NW. Smaller neighborhood parks and the broader network of NW DC green space are accessible on foot or by a short transit ride.
A Wardman team member and the Wardman Residential team at Compass have direct experience with Columbia Heights row houses and can provide recent comparable sales, parking-adjusted valuations, and submarket context. Reach out to discuss this property or to explore similar opportunities in NW DC.
