A Petworth Row House With Two-Car Garage Parking

The home at 5235 8th Street NW is a 1925 row house in Petworth, NW, offering four bedrooms and three and a half baths across 1,932 square feet. Its street-facing facade reflects the architectural character that defines this block and this neighborhood.

Two dedicated garage spaces set this property apart from the typical Petworth row house, where off-street parking is scarce and frequently cited as a limiting factor by buyers. Covered parking for two vehicles is a structural advantage that does not require renovation or negotiation.

Petworth occupies a central position in NW DC, with access to multiple transit corridors and a walkable commercial strip along Georgia Avenue. The neighborhood’s stock of early-twentieth-century row houses gives 8th Street NW a consistent residential scale that larger development has not disrupted.

At $900,000, this home is priced to reflect its bedroom count, bath configuration, interior square footage, and the tangible value of two-car garage parking in a market where that combination is uncommon.

The Property
The home at 5235 8th Street NW was built in 1925 and retains the street-facing character of its era. Four bedrooms and three and a half baths are distributed across 1,932 square feet, giving the layout meaningful depth for a Petworth row house of this vintage.
Parking Advantage
Two dedicated garage spaces are among the most consequential features of this property. Off-street parking for two vehicles is uncommon in Petworth’s row house inventory, and covered garage access represents a durable advantage that buyers in this submarket consistently seek.
Neighborhood Position
Petworth sits in NW DC with proximity to Georgia Avenue’s commercial corridor and multiple transit options. The neighborhood’s early-twentieth-century row house fabric gives 8th Street NW a residential consistency that has remained largely intact over the decades.
Pricing Context
The $900,000 asking price reflects the combined weight of four bedrooms, three and a half baths, nearly 2,000 square feet, and two-car garage parking. In Petworth’s active resale market, that configuration at this price point warrants close attention from buyers tracking the submarket.

Why This Home Stands Out

  • Two-car garage parking — rare in Petworth
  • 4 bedrooms across 1,932 sq ft
  • 3 full baths plus powder room
  • 1925 row house on a residential block
  • Central NW DC location with transit access

Property Location

About 5235 8th St NW

The home at 5235 8th Street NW is a 1925 row house in Petworth, NW, with four bedrooms, three full baths, one half bath, and 1,932 square feet of interior space. The street-facing facade is consistent with the architectural character of early-twentieth-century NW DC row houses on this block. Two dedicated garage spaces are accessed from the rear and provide covered off-street parking for two vehicles — a feature that distinguishes this home from the majority of comparable properties in the immediate area.

Petworth is one of NW DC’s most established residential neighborhoods, defined by its grid of early-twentieth-century row houses and its position between Georgia Avenue and North Capitol Street. The commercial corridor along Georgia Avenue NW provides walkable access to local cafes, grocery options, and neighborhood retail. Multiple transit options serve the area, connecting residents to downtown DC and points throughout the region.

Day-to-day life on 8th Street NW moves at the pace of a residential block — consistent street-level activity, neighboring row houses of similar scale, and proximity to the amenities along Georgia Avenue without being directly on the corridor. Two covered garage spaces mean vehicles are protected and parking is never a variable. The home’s four-bedroom layout accommodates a range of uses across its full 1,932 square feet.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

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

Two dedicated garage spaces are included with this row house, providing covered off-street parking for two vehicles. In Petworth, where most row houses lack any garage, this is a meaningful structural advantage. Buyers who prioritize parking will find this configuration difficult to replicate in the immediate submarket.
At four bedrooms, three and a half baths, and 1,932 square feet, this home sits at the larger end of the Petworth row house spectrum. The addition of two garage spaces further differentiates it from the typical inventory. Buyers comparing options in the neighborhood will find this combination of size and parking uncommon.
The home was built in 1925 and reflects the architectural character of its era. As with any century-old row house, buyers should conduct thorough due diligence, including inspection of mechanical systems, roof, and structural elements. The Wardman team can help coordinate that process.
The Georgia Ave-Petworth Metro station on the Green Line serves the neighborhood and provides direct access to downtown DC and beyond. Multiple Metrobus routes along Georgia Avenue NW supplement rail service. The two-car garage also supports buyers who prefer to drive.
This is a single-family row house with no HOA or condo fee. Owners are responsible for their own maintenance and do not share common expenses with neighboring properties. That structure gives buyers full control over the home without monthly association obligations.
The home is listed at $900,000. That figure reflects the four-bedroom layout, three and a half baths, nearly 2,000 square feet, and two covered garage spaces. In the context of Petworth’s active row house market, the combination of those features at this price warrants careful review of recent comparables.
The Georgia Avenue NW corridor is the primary commercial spine for Petworth, offering local cafes, grocery options, and neighborhood retail within walking distance of 8th Street NW. Parks and recreation options are accessible throughout the surrounding blocks and the broader NW DC network.
The Wardman Residential team at Compass has direct experience with Petworth row house transactions and can provide recent comparable sales, a market positioning analysis, and guidance through the due diligence process.
