Capitol Hill Row House with Parking and Historic Provenance

The home at 326 12th St SE is a Capitol Hill row house with roots in 1900, offering the kind of architectural continuity that defines this neighborhood’s residential character. At 1,636 square feet, the layout accommodates three bedrooms and one and a half baths across a traditional row house configuration.

Assigned surface parking is included with the property — a practical asset that adds measurable value in a neighborhood where on-street parking is consistently competitive. The combination of interior square footage, historic construction, and dedicated parking positions this home well within the Capitol Hill resale market.

The surrounding blocks reflect the Hill’s established residential fabric, with proximity to Eastern Market, Lincoln Park, and the retail and dining corridor along Pennsylvania Avenue SE. The Eastern Branch Trail and Anacostia Riverwalk are accessible from this part of the neighborhood, extending the home’s connection to outdoor amenities.

A Wardman team member and the Wardman Residential team at Compass represented the seller in this transaction, drawing on deep familiarity with Capitol Hill’s row house inventory and the dynamics of the SE quadrant market.

Historic Row House
The home dates to 1900, placing it among Capitol Hill’s original residential stock. Row houses of this era define the neighborhood’s streetscape and retain architectural details that newer construction cannot replicate. The 1,636-square-foot interior provides a workable footprint across three bedrooms.
Parking Included
Assigned surface parking is included with the property. In Capitol Hill SE, dedicated parking is not a given — its presence here removes a friction point common to row house ownership in this part of the city and adds tangible value at resale.
Capitol Hill Location
The 12th Street SE corridor sits within easy reach of Eastern Market, Lincoln Park, and the Pennsylvania Avenue SE commercial strip. The Eastern Branch Trail connects the neighborhood to the broader Anacostia Riverwalk system, offering accessible green space and recreational infrastructure.
Seller Representation
Wardman Residential at Compass represented the seller in this transaction. The team’s experience with Capitol Hill row houses spans both sides of the market, from buyer advisory to seller strategy in a neighborhood where condition, block, and parking availability each carry distinct weight in pricing.

About 326 12th St SE

The home at 326 12th St SE is a Capitol Hill row house constructed in 1900, offering 1,636 square feet of interior space across three bedrooms and one and a half baths. The structure reflects the traditional DC row house form — a building type that has defined Capitol Hill’s residential character for well over a century. Assigned surface parking accompanies the property, a feature that distinguishes this home from many comparable row houses in the immediate area.

Capitol Hill SE occupies the southeastern quadrant of the Hill, bounded by the Capitol grounds to the north and the Anacostia waterfront to the south and east. The neighborhood is anchored by Eastern Market — one of DC’s oldest continuously operating public markets — and Lincoln Park, a significant open green space along East Capitol Street. Pennsylvania Avenue SE provides a walkable retail and dining corridor serving the surrounding residential blocks.

Day-to-day life on this part of the Hill centers on walkable access to neighborhood staples: the Eastern Market hall and weekend farmers market, local cafes and restaurants along Barracks Row and Pennsylvania Avenue SE, and the Eastern Branch Trail for cycling and recreation along the Anacostia. The Capitol South and Eastern Market Metro stations on the Blue and Orange lines place downtown DC within a short commute. The neighborhood’s street grid and transit access make car-free or car-light living a practical option.
