A Petworth Row House Reborn

The home at 4213 8th Street NW represents a century of Petworth architecture brought forward through a full 2018 renovation. Original brick construction from 1910 anchors the exterior, while the interior reflects a modern sensibility — hardwood floors, central air conditioning, and four working fireplaces distributed across three levels. At 2,284 square feet, the layout accommodates four bedrooms and three and a half baths with room to spare. The scale is generous for the neighborhood, and the driveway parking adds a practical advantage that many comparable row houses in NW cannot offer. Petworth sits at a crossroads of accessibility and residential character, with the Georgia Avenue corridor providing transit options and everyday conveniences within reach. The Green Line serves the neighborhood, connecting residents directly to downtown DC and beyond. For buyers seeking a well-proportioned, move-in-ready row house in an established NW neighborhood, 4213 8th Street NW merits serious consideration. The Wardman Residential team at Compass is available to provide recent comparables and a full advisory perspective on this submarket.

Property Location

About 4213 8th St NW

The row house at 4213 8th Street NW was built in 1910 and stands as a representative example of the brick construction that characterizes Petworth’s residential blocks. A full renovation completed in 2018 updated the home’s systems and interior finishes without compromising its structural character. The result is a home that reads as both historically grounded and move-in ready.

Petworth is one of NW DC’s most established residential neighborhoods, anchored by the Georgia Avenue corridor and bounded by Rock Creek Church Road to the north and Upshur Street to the south. The Green Line Metro serves the neighborhood, with stations at Georgia Ave-Petworth and Columbia Heights providing direct connections to downtown DC. Local dining, neighborhood retail, and everyday services are accessible on foot or by transit.

Life on 8th Street NW moves at a residential pace — tree-lined blocks, front porches, and a neighborhood fabric that has been building for more than a century. The driveway parking at this home is a practical differentiator, offering the convenience of off-street parking in a corridor where it is not always available. Four fireplaces across three levels add a warmth and character that newer construction rarely replicates.

The Wardman Residential team at Compass has deep experience in Petworth and the broader NW DC row house market, having worked with buyers and sellers across the Georgia Avenue corridor and surrounding blocks. We understand the pricing nuances of this submarket — from renovation premiums to the value of driveway parking — and bring that perspective to every advisory engagement. If you are considering a row house in Petworth or a comparable NW neighborhood, reach out and we will share recent comparables and our current read on the market.
