A Century of Character on Lamont Street NW

448 Lamont Street NW is a 1913 row house that carries the architectural DNA of Columbia Heights: a brick facade, a defined streetscape presence, and the kind of proportions that newer construction rarely replicates. The home offers two bedrooms and three full baths, a configuration that provides flexibility without sacrificing the intimacy of a row house scale.

Columbia Heights is one of NW DC’s most connected neighborhoods, anchored by the Columbia Heights Metro station on the Green and Yellow lines. The surrounding blocks offer a dense mix of dining, retail, and everyday services along 14th Street NW and Irving Street NW, all within a walkable radius of Lamont Street.

The home’s outdoor space — front and rear, consistent with the row house typology of this block — extends the living area beyond the interior footprint. The brick exterior, characteristic of DC residential construction from this era, requires no apology and no explanation. It is simply what a DC row house looks like when it has been standing for over a century.

At $475,000, 448 Lamont Street NW represents a straightforward entry into one of DC’s most established NW neighborhoods, with the structural integrity of early 20th-century construction and the transit access that defines Columbia Heights as a long-term address.
