Row House — Congress Heights, SE Washington DC

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.
