A Century-Old Row House in Bloomingdale, NW

The row house at 325 Elm St NW was built in 1906, placing it among the earliest residential construction in Bloomingdale — a neighborhood whose streetscape has remained remarkably intact across more than a century of DC history. Three bedrooms and one and a half baths occupy a layout shaped by the proportions and craftsmanship of the Edwardian era.

Bloomingdale occupies a compact but distinct position in NW, bordered by Shaw to the south and the McMillan Reservoir site to the north. The neighborhood’s low-rise row house blocks give it a pedestrian scale that larger corridors in the District rarely replicate. Local cafes, neighborhood groceries, and the dining energy of Rhode Island Ave are all within reach on foot.

The Green Line at Shaw-Howard University and the nearby NoMa-Gallaudet station on the Red Line both serve the area, connecting residents to downtown DC, Capitol Hill, and points across the region. For buyers seeking a historically grounded home in an established NW neighborhood, 325 Elm St NW represents a considered entry point at $258,850.

Historic Bones
The home dates to 1906, a period when Bloomingdale’s row house blocks were being platted and built with the brick craftsmanship that still defines the neighborhood. Three bedrooms and a thoughtful bath configuration occupy a floor plan shaped by that era’s residential standards.
Bloomingdale Context
Bloomingdale is one of NW’s more cohesive historic neighborhoods, defined by continuous row house frontage and a walkable commercial edge along Rhode Island Ave. The McMillan Reservoir site to the north and the Shaw corridor to the south frame the neighborhood’s urban position.
Transit Connectivity
