A Substantial Brookland Row House with Rare Garage Parking

4510 South Dakota Avenue NE is a 1932 row house in Brookland, NE Washington, offering nearly 3,000 square feet of living space across a classic multi-level layout. The home includes three bedrooms, two full baths, and a half bath, with a private one-car garage and concrete driveway — a combination that is genuinely uncommon at this price point in the District.

Brookland is one of DC’s most architecturally cohesive neighborhoods, characterized by early-twentieth-century row houses, detached homes, and a walkable commercial corridor along 12th Street NE. South Dakota Avenue is a principal residential artery through the neighborhood, lined with mature trees and homes of similar vintage and scale.

The Red Line’s Brookland-CUA Metro station provides direct access to downtown DC, making the neighborhood a practical base for those who commute into the city or travel frequently. Local amenities along 12th Street NE include independent restaurants, coffee shops, and neighborhood retail within easy reach of the home.

At $615,000, this home represents meaningful square footage in an established NE corridor, with private parking included — a combination that buyers in this submarket consistently find difficult to replicate.

The Property
Built in 1932, this Brookland row house spans approximately 2,990 square feet with three bedrooms, two full baths, and a half bath. A private one-car garage and concrete driveway are included — a meaningful distinction in a city where off-street parking at this price point is rarely a given.
The Neighborhood
Brookland is one of NE Washington’s most intact early-twentieth-century neighborhoods. South Dakota Avenue runs through the heart of it, lined with homes of similar vintage and scale. The 12th Street NE corridor anchors the neighborhood’s walkable commercial life, with independent dining, coffee, and retail options close by.
Transit and Access
The Brookland-CUA Metro station on the Red Line is close to the home, connecting residents directly to Union Station, Gallery Place, and points throughout the city. The neighborhood also benefits from multiple bus routes along South Dakota Avenue and nearby arterials.
The Value Case
Nearly 3,000 square feet, a private garage, and a sub-$650,000 price point in an established DC neighborhood is a combination that does not surface often. Buyers comparing options in NE Washington will find this home difficult to match on a square-footage-and-parking basis alone.

Property Location

About 4510 South Dakota Ave NE

4510 South Dakota Avenue NE is a three-story row house built in 1932, offering approximately 2,990 square feet of interior space. The home includes three bedrooms, two full baths, and a half bath distributed across a traditional multi-level layout. A private one-car garage and concrete driveway provide off-street parking — an asset that adds practical and resale value in the District. The construction era and scale are consistent with the surrounding Brookland streetscape, giving the home a sense of architectural belonging that newer infill construction rarely achieves.

Brookland occupies a well-defined section of NE Washington, bounded by Michigan Avenue to the south and the campus of Catholic University to the east. The neighborhood developed primarily in the 1920s and 1930s, and its housing stock reflects that era’s preference for solid masonry construction and tree-lined residential streets. South Dakota Avenue is one of the neighborhood’s principal corridors, connecting Brookland to Fort Totten and the broader NE quadrant. The 12th Street NE commercial strip offers independent restaurants, cafes, and neighborhood-serving retail within a short walk.

Day-to-day life along South Dakota Avenue NE moves at a residential pace, with mature street trees and a mix of owner-occupied homes defining the immediate environment. The Brookland-CUA Metro station on the Red Line places downtown DC, Union Station, and the broader Metrorail network within easy reach. Local dining and coffee options along 12th Street NE provide walkable amenities without requiring a car. For those who do drive, the private garage and driveway eliminate the daily friction of street parking that affects much of the District.

At approximately 2,990 square feet, this home is on the larger end of the Brookland row house spectrum. Many comparable homes in the neighborhood range from 1,400 to 2,200 square feet, making this property’s scale a meaningful differentiator for buyers who prioritize interior space.
