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.

About 325 Elm St NW
The row house at 325 Elm St NW is a three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath home built in 1906 in Bloomingdale, NW. Its construction places it among the original residential fabric of the neighborhood, where brick row houses of this period remain the dominant building type. The home’s layout reflects the proportions common to early-twentieth-century DC residential construction — rooms of genuine scale with the structural integrity that comes from over a century of standing.
Bloomingdale is a historically rooted NW neighborhood defined by continuous row house blocks and a walkable commercial edge along Rhode Island Ave NW. The neighborhood sits north of Shaw and south of the McMillan Reservoir site, giving it a distinct position within the broader NW quadrant. Local cafes, neighborhood groceries, and community green space are accessible on foot, and the area’s low-rise streetscape preserves a pedestrian character that distinguishes it from denser corridors nearby.
