A Classic SE Row House with Three Full Baths and Off-Street Parking
3967 Alabama Ave SE is a three-bedroom, three-bath row house situated in the Congress Heights neighborhood of SE Washington, DC. The home was built in 1939 and carries the structural character typical of mid-century DC row house construction — solid masonry, defined room boundaries, and a layout that distributes space across multiple levels.
At 1,493 square feet, the home provides a functional footprint for a three-bedroom configuration, with three full bathrooms representing a notable advantage over comparable row houses in the corridor that often offer fewer. The gravel driveway adds off-street parking, a practical asset in a quadrant where on-street availability can be competitive.
Congress Heights is a historically rooted SE neighborhood with direct access to the Anacostia Metro station on the Green Line, connecting residents to the broader DC transit network. Alabama Avenue SE is a primary corridor through the neighborhood, placing this home within reach of local commercial activity, parks, and community anchors.
A Wardman team member represented the buyer in this transaction, bringing focused advisory support to a purchase in one of SE DC’s established residential corridors.

Congress Heights is one of SE DC’s established residential neighborhoods, situated along Alabama Avenue SE between the Anacostia River corridor and the District’s southern boundary.
