A 1908 Row House on 13th Street NW

The home at 3222 13th Street NW sits within Columbia Heights, one of NW DC’s most connected and walkable neighborhoods. Built in 1908, the row house retains the scale and proportion characteristic of early-twentieth-century DC residential architecture, while offering a floor plan suited to contemporary use.

Three full baths and one half bath serve three bedrooms across 1,760 square feet, a configuration that provides meaningful flexibility for how the space is occupied. The HOA structure covers water, sewer, exterior building maintenance, insurance, and reserve funds, which is a notable advantage for a property of this age and type.

The Green Line’s Columbia Heights station is close by, placing downtown DC, U Street, and the broader Metro network within easy reach. The surrounding blocks offer a dense mix of dining, grocery, and everyday retail options that reduce reliance on a car for daily needs.

At $870,000, the home is priced within the active market for three-bedroom row houses in this corridor, where HOA-covered utilities and historic character together distinguish the offering from newer construction alternatives.

Historic Architecture
The row house dates to 1908, placing it among the cohort of early-twentieth-century DC homes that define the streetscape of Columbia Heights. The scale, massing, and proportions reflect a period of residential construction that the neighborhood has largely preserved. Buyers seeking architectural character alongside functional space will find both here.
HOA-Covered Ownership
The HOA covers water, sewer, exterior building maintenance, insurance, and reserve funds. For a 116-year-old row house, that coverage meaningfully limits exposure to the unpredictable costs that often accompany older DC properties. The arrangement is relatively uncommon in this property type and adds a layer of financial predictability to ownership.
Metro Connectivity
The Columbia Heights Metro station on the Green and Yellow Lines is within close walking distance, connecting residents to downtown DC, U Street, and the broader WMATA network. The neighborhood’s transit score reflects one of the stronger positions in NW DC for car-optional living.
Walkable Daily Life
The blocks surrounding 13th Street NW are dense with local cafes, restaurants, grocery options, and neighborhood retail. Everyday errands are largely walkable, and the mix of independent businesses and established chains gives the corridor a practical, lived-in character that distinguishes it from less-connected parts of the city.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

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

The HOA covers common area maintenance, exterior building maintenance, insurance, management, reserve funds, sewer, and water. For a 1908 row house, this level of coverage is relatively uncommon and meaningfully reduces the unpredictable ownership costs that often accompany older DC properties. Buyers should review the HOA documents to confirm current fee amounts and coverage terms.
The Columbia Heights Metro station, served by the Green and Yellow Lines, is within close walking distance of 13th Street NW. That connection provides direct access to downtown DC, U Street, and the broader WMATA network. The neighborhood also has strong bus service along 14th Street NW for additional transit options.
Columbia Heights is a well-established NW DC neighborhood with a dense mix of dining, grocery, retail, and green space. The 14th Street and Columbia Road corridors are within easy walking distance and offer a wide range of everyday options. Meridian Hill Park is one of the neighborhood’s most recognized open spaces.
The listing notes public parking as the available option, which is typical for many Columbia Heights row houses that do not include a private garage or dedicated spot. Street parking and nearby public lots serve residents who maintain a vehicle. The neighborhood’s strong transit and walkability scores reduce daily car dependence for many buyers.
Homes built in 1908 carry both architectural character and the maintenance considerations associated with older construction. The HOA’s coverage of exterior maintenance, insurance, and reserve funds addresses some of those concerns directly. Buyers should conduct a thorough inspection and review the HOA’s reserve fund status to understand the property’s current condition and long-term maintenance posture.
At $870,000 for 1,760 square feet, the home is priced at approximately $494 per square foot.
