Six Bedrooms. Four Full Baths. A Century of Petworth Character.

The row house at 4143 New Hampshire Avenue NW represents one of the more substantial residential footprints available in Petworth — a six-bedroom, four-full-bath home built in 1912 and spanning nearly 3,800 square feet. Properties of this scale in NW DC are rare at this price point, and the home’s historic bones give it a structural presence that newer construction rarely matches.

Petworth has long been one of DC’s most architecturally consistent neighborhoods, defined by early-twentieth-century row houses lining wide, tree-canopied avenues. New Hampshire Avenue is among the neighborhood’s principal corridors, offering straightforward access to the Georgia Avenue commercial strip, nearby parks, and the broader NW street grid. The home sits within walking distance of the Petworth Metro station on the Green and Yellow lines.

The combination of bedroom count, bath configuration, and square footage makes this home well-suited to a range of uses — from a primary residence requiring dedicated office or flex space to a multi-generational living arrangement. The 1912 construction date places it squarely in the era of Petworth’s original development, and the home’s scale reflects the ambition of that period’s residential architecture.

Scale and Substance
The home spans approximately 3,800 square feet across six bedrooms and six bathrooms — a footprint that is genuinely uncommon in the Petworth resale market. Most row houses in the neighborhood top out at three or four bedrooms, making this property a distinct outlier in terms of raw capacity and spatial flexibility.
Petworth Context
Petworth occupies a central position in NW DC, bounded by Rock Creek Church Road to the north and Georgia Avenue to the east. The neighborhood’s grid of early-twentieth-century row houses has remained largely intact, giving it a cohesive architectural character that newer development corridors in the city lack.
Historic Vintage
Construction in 1912 places this home in the original wave of Petworth residential development, when builders were producing larger, more generously proportioned row houses than the city would see in later decades. The structural integrity of that era’s construction — masonry, deep lots, high ceilings — tends to hold up well over time with proper maintenance.
Value Proposition
At $814,500 for nearly 3,800 square feet in NW DC, the per-square-foot basis here is among the more favorable available in the quadrant for a single-family row house. Buyers seeking meaningful square footage without moving to the suburbs will find few comparable options at this price in the immediate area.

Property Location

About 4143 New Hampshire Ave NW

The row house at 4143 New Hampshire Avenue NW was built in 1912 and encompasses approximately 3,800 square feet of interior space. The six-bedroom, four-full-bath configuration — supplemented by two half baths — is among the largest available in Petworth’s row house stock. The home occupies both sides of the structure, meaning no shared party-wall living arrangements constrain the floor plan.

Petworth is one of NW DC’s most architecturally intact early-twentieth-century neighborhoods, characterized by wide avenues, mature tree canopy, and a consistent streetscape of masonry row houses. New Hampshire Avenue serves as one of the neighborhood’s primary north-south corridors, connecting Petworth to Columbia Heights to the south and to the upper NW neighborhoods beyond. The Georgia Avenue commercial corridor runs parallel to the east, offering a range of retail, dining, and service options within easy reach.

Day-to-day living along New Hampshire Avenue NW is grounded in neighborhood walkability and access to the broader DC grid. Local cafes, grocery options, and parks are accessible without a car, and the Petworth Metro station on the Green and Yellow lines places downtown DC within a straightforward commute. The neighborhood’s park system — including nearby Petworth Park and the larger Upshur Street corridor — provides outdoor space that complements the home’s interior scale.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

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

At approximately 3,800 square feet, this home is substantially larger than the typical Petworth row house, which commonly ranges from 1,400 to 2,200 square feet. The six-bedroom configuration is particularly uncommon in the neighborhood’s resale inventory, where three- and four-bedroom homes represent the majority of available stock.
A both-sides row house occupies the full width of its structural unit, meaning the home does not share a party wall with an adjacent property in the way that a semi-detached or end-unit row house might. This typically translates to more natural light, greater acoustic separation, and a more flexible interior floor plan.
The Petworth Metro station on the Green and Yellow lines is the closest rapid transit option to 4143 New Hampshire Avenue NW. Both lines provide direct service to downtown DC, with the Yellow Line also connecting to the Pentagon and Alexandria corridors in Northern Virginia.
Parking details were not specified in the listing data provided. Buyers interested in garage, off-street, or alley parking arrangements should confirm availability directly with the listing agent or through a title and survey review of the property.
The home was built in 1912, placing it in the original wave of Petworth residential development. Buyers of homes from this era should plan for due-diligence review of mechanical systems, roofing, and any updates to electrical and plumbing — all standard considerations for a property of this vintage. A thorough home inspection is strongly recommended.
This is a single-family row house, not a condominium or HOA-governed community, so no monthly association fees apply. Buyers should confirm this during the contract review process, but the property type and structure are consistent with fee-simple ownership.
At $814,500 for approximately 3,800 square feet, the per-square-foot basis is competitive relative to comparable NW DC row houses of similar scale. Buyers seeking this level of square footage in NW typically encounter higher price points, particularly in neighborhoods closer to the core.
