Scale and Substance in Shepherd Park

3810 Argyle Terrace NW is a five-bedroom single-family home in Shepherd Park, a tree-lined NW neighborhood defined by its deep lots, mid-century architecture, and proximity to Rock Creek Park. Built in 1950, the home carries the structural character of its era while offering the footprint that larger households and those who value room to grow find difficult to source in this part of the city.

The home’s three full baths and one half bath serve a five-bedroom layout with practical efficiency. Two-car garage parking — genuinely rare at this price point in NW DC — removes one of the more persistent friction points of urban homeownership. The combination of bedroom count, bath count, and covered parking positions this home as one of the more complete offerings currently available in the 20011 zip code.

Shepherd Park sits at the northern edge of NW DC, bordered by Rock Creek Park to the west and Georgia Avenue to the east. The neighborhood’s residential streets are quiet and well-canopied, with local retail, dining, and daily services accessible along Georgia Avenue and nearby Takoma Park. Metro access via the Red Line keeps downtown DC within practical reach for commuters and weekend visitors alike.

At $1,430,000, this home represents a considered acquisition in a neighborhood where single-family inventory at this scale is consistently limited. The 1950 construction date places it among Shepherd Park’s original housing stock — a cohort that has demonstrated enduring appeal among buyers who prioritize neighborhood stability and architectural authenticity over new construction.

The Home
3810 Argyle Terrace NW is a five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath single-family home in Shepherd Park, built in 1950. The home’s footprint reflects the generous proportions characteristic of mid-century construction in this part of NW DC, offering meaningful living space across its full layout.
Parking and Practicality
Two-car garage parking is among the home’s most practical distinctions. Covered, off-street parking for two vehicles is a genuine rarity in NW Washington, and its presence here meaningfully reduces one of the most common friction points of city homeownership at any price point.
The Neighborhood
Shepherd Park occupies the northern tier of NW DC, with Rock Creek Park to the west and Georgia Avenue corridor retail and services to the east. The Red Line provides Metro connectivity, and the adjacent Takoma neighborhood adds walkable dining and neighborhood amenities within easy reach.
The Opportunity
Priced at $1,430,000, this home enters the market as a five-bedroom offering with garage parking in an established NW enclave where comparable inventory is reliably constrained. Buyers seeking scale, authenticity, and a well-connected NW address will find few alternatives at this configuration.

Property Location

About 3810 Argyle Ter NW

The home at 3810 Argyle Terrace NW is a single-family residence built in 1950, offering five bedrooms, three full baths, and one half bath across its full layout. The 1950 construction date places it firmly within Shepherd Park’s original housing stock, a cohort known for solid mid-century bones and generous room proportions. Two-car garage parking accompanies the home — a structural asset that distinguishes this listing from the majority of NW DC single-family inventory at comparable price points.

Shepherd Park is one of NW Washington’s northernmost established residential neighborhoods, situated between Rock Creek Park to the west and the Georgia Avenue corridor to the east. The neighborhood’s tree-canopied streets and deep residential lots have defined its character since the mid-twentieth century. Local retail and dining are accessible along Georgia Avenue, and the adjacent Takoma neighborhood extends the walkable amenity set further. The 20011 zip code encompasses a range of housing types, but single-family homes of this scale remain a limited and sought-after segment.

Day-to-day life from Argyle Terrace NW moves comfortably between the neighborhood’s residential calm and the practical connectivity of Georgia Avenue. Local cafes, grocers, and neighborhood services are accessible without leaving the immediate area. Rock Creek Park trails and green space are close at hand for those who prioritize outdoor access.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

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

The home is located in Shepherd Park, one of NW Washington’s northernmost established residential neighborhoods. Shepherd Park is known for its tree-lined streets, mid-century housing stock, and proximity to both Rock Creek Park and the Georgia Avenue corridor.
Two-car garage parking is a meaningful differentiator in NW DC, where off-street covered parking for two vehicles is uncommon among single-family homes at this price point. Its presence here removes one of the more persistent friction points of urban homeownership and adds practical long-term value to the property.
The Red Line serves the Shepherd Park area, with Takoma and Fort Totten stations providing access to the broader Metro network. The Red Line connects riders to downtown DC, Bethesda, and Silver Spring, making this address practical for a range of commuting patterns.
Homes built in 1950 in Shepherd Park represent the neighborhood’s original housing stock — a cohort characterized by solid construction, generous room proportions, and architectural authenticity that newer builds in the area do not replicate. Buyers who prioritize mid-century character and structural depth often seek out homes from this era specifically.
Rock Creek Park is among the most significant green space assets accessible from Shepherd Park, offering trails, wooded paths, and recreational areas within the broader NW corridor.
