About 507 Decatur St NW

507 Decatur Street NW is a four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath row house in Petworth, built in 1925 and spanning 2,460 square feet. The home’s footprint is characteristic of the early twentieth-century DC row house tradition — masonry construction, defined room volumes, and a vertical layout that distributes living, sleeping, and utility spaces across multiple levels. Three full baths and a half bath provide practical flexibility for a home of this size. The acquisition price of $1,005,000 reflects the current market for well-positioned Petworth row houses of this scale.

Petworth is one of NW Washington’s most established residential neighborhoods, anchored by tree-lined streets of early twentieth-century row houses and a walkable commercial corridor along Georgia Avenue. The neighborhood’s housing stock is defined by the brick row house typology that has characterized this part of the city for over a century. Decatur Street sits within the interior of the neighborhood, offering a residential character while remaining close to the Georgia Avenue spine and its concentration of restaurants, cafes, and everyday services. The area’s proximity to both the Green and Yellow Line Metro stations makes it one of the more transit-accessible neighborhoods in upper NW.

Daily life on Decatur Street NW is oriented around walkability and neighborhood infrastructure. The Georgia Avenue corridor provides grocery options, local dining, coffee shops, and service businesses within a short walk. Nearby parks and green spaces offer outdoor recreation without requiring a car. Metro access on the Green and Yellow Lines connects residents to downtown DC, the U Street corridor, and points south and north with frequency and reliability. The combination of neighborhood scale and transit connectivity is a defining characteristic of the Petworth lifestyle.
