A Historic Row House of Uncommon Scale on Constitution Avenue NE

414 Constitution Avenue NE is a five-bedroom Capitol Hill row house built in 1890, offering 3,000 square feet of living space on one of the neighborhood’s most prominent residential corridors. The home’s historic masonry facade anchors it firmly in the architectural tradition of the Hill, while its scale — five bedrooms across four full baths — sets it apart from the typical two- and three-bedroom row houses that define much of the surrounding streetscape.

Constitution Avenue NE provides direct connectivity to the Capitol grounds, Eastern Market, and the broader NE quadrant. The home occupies a street-facing position with a rear yard, a configuration that balances urban presence with private outdoor space. Few row houses in this price range offer this combination of square footage, historic fabric, and address.

The Wardman Residential team at Compass represented the seller in this transaction. For buyers or sellers considering Capitol Hill row houses, our team brings direct experience with this submarket and is available to discuss current market conditions, recent comparables, and strategy.

Scale and Character
At 3,000 square feet, 414 Constitution Avenue NE is a large-format Capitol Hill row house by any measure. Five bedrooms and four full baths provide a depth of accommodation rarely found in the neighborhood’s more common two- and three-bedroom configurations. The 1890 construction date places this home among the Hill’s earliest and most architecturally coherent residential stock.
Address and Connectivity
Constitution Avenue NE is one of Capitol Hill’s principal east-west corridors, connecting the neighborhood directly to the Capitol grounds and providing straightforward access to the broader NE quadrant. The address combines the civic weight of the avenue with the residential texture of the surrounding blocks.
Outdoor and Street Presence
The home presents a historic masonry facade to Constitution Avenue, establishing a strong street-facing presence consistent with the neighborhood’s architectural character. A rear yard typical of Capitol Hill residential lots provides private outdoor space behind the main structure — a practical amenity on a prominent avenue address.
Market Context
At $1,006,000, this home entered the market at a price point that reflects both its scale and its historic condition. Large Capitol Hill row houses with five bedrooms and this level of square footage trade infrequently. Buyers evaluating this segment of the market should consider both the replacement cost of comparable historic fabric and the limited inventory of similarly sized homes on the Hill.
