A Century-Old Row House in the Heart of Shaw

429 M Street NW is a semi-detached row house in Shaw, carrying the architectural character of a home built at the turn of the twentieth century. At 1,546 square feet, the residence offers two bedrooms and two and a half baths across a layout that reflects the classic proportions of historic NW Washington.

Shaw is one of the most centrally located neighborhoods in the District, bounded by Logan Circle to the west and Howard University to the north, with direct access to the Green and Yellow Line Metro stations at Shaw-Howard University and Mount Vernon Square. The neighborhood’s density of restaurants, independent retailers, and cultural institutions makes it one of the more walkable corridors in NW.

The home’s semi-detached configuration provides a degree of separation uncommon in fully attached row house blocks, while still placing the buyer within the fabric of a historic DC streetscape. For buyers seeking a foothold in one of DC’s most established urban neighborhoods, this property offers both scale and location at a meaningful price point.

The Property
429 M Street NW is a semi-detached row house in Shaw, built in 1900 and spanning 1,546 square feet. The home offers two bedrooms and two full baths plus a half bath, with the spatial proportions characteristic of early twentieth-century DC residential construction.
The Neighborhood
Shaw occupies a central position in NW Washington, with the Green and Yellow Line Metro within close reach and a walkable grid of restaurants, markets, and neighborhood anchors along 7th and 9th Streets. The neighborhood’s historic stock and urban density make it one of the District’s most recognizable addresses.
The Structure
The semi-detached configuration distinguishes this home from the fully attached row houses that dominate many Shaw blocks. That structural separation, combined with the home’s 1900 vintage, gives the property a presence on the streetscape that is difficult to replicate in newer construction.
The Opportunity
At just over one million dollars, this home represents a direct entry into one of DC’s most established urban neighborhoods. Buyers considering Shaw should weigh the combination of location, historic character, and interior scale against current comparable sales in the corridor.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

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

A semi-detached row house shares one party wall with a neighboring property rather than two, as a fully attached row house would. This configuration typically allows for windows on the exposed side, additional natural light, and a degree of acoustic separation not found in fully attached homes. It is a less common configuration in Shaw’s dense residential blocks.
Parking details were not specified in the listing data for this property. Buyers should confirm parking availability directly and review DC residential parking permit zones for the M Street NW block. Street parking and residential permit programs are common in this part of Shaw.
The Shaw-Howard University Metro station and the Mount Vernon Square Metro station, both on the Green and Yellow Lines, are the closest stations to 429 M Street NW. Both provide direct service to downtown DC, the National Mall corridor, and connections throughout the region.
The home was built in 1900, making it over 120 years old. Buyers of historic DC row houses should conduct thorough inspections covering structural systems, roofing, plumbing, electrical, and any original materials. A qualified home inspector with experience in historic DC properties is strongly recommended.
This property is a single-family semi-detached row house, not a condominium, so standard condo association fees do not apply. Buyers should confirm whether any shared maintenance agreements or deed restrictions exist for the property prior to closing.
At just over one million dollars for 1,546 square feet in Shaw, this home sits within the range of historic row house transactions in the neighborhood. Buyers should review recent comparable sales on similar blocks to assess value relative to condition, configuration, and lot characteristics. The Wardman team can provide current comparables on request.
Outdoor space details were not specified in the listing data. Row houses on M Street NW in Shaw typically include rear yard space, though dimensions and configuration vary by lot. Buyers should confirm outdoor space details during the showing and review the property survey.
The Wardman Residential team at Compass has direct experience with Shaw and the broader NW Washington row house market, including historic semi-detached properties in this price range.
