A Petworth Row House With Room to Grow

611 Gallatin Street NW is a five-bedroom row house in Petworth, a NW Washington neighborhood defined by tree-lined blocks, early-twentieth-century architecture, and proximity to multiple transit options. The home was built in 1926 and retains the structural character typical of that era while offering 2,085 square feet of interior space across its full footprint.

The layout accommodates five bedrooms and three full baths plus a half bath, a configuration that provides genuine flexibility for how the space is used day to day. Private driveway parking — concrete, paved, and secured — is a notable practical advantage in a city where off-street parking at this price point is far from guaranteed.

Petworth sits in upper NW, bounded by Georgia Avenue to the west and North Capitol Street to the east, with the Green and Yellow Line Metro stations at Georgia Ave-Petworth and Columbia Heights both accessible from the neighborhood. The surrounding blocks offer a walkable mix of local dining, retail, and everyday services along Georgia Avenue and Upshur Street NW.

At $975,000, this home is priced within the range of comparable five-bedroom row houses in NW DC, where inventory at this bedroom count remains limited. The combination of scale, parking, and a 1926 address in an established neighborhood makes this a property worth examining carefully.

The Property
611 Gallatin Street NW is a 1926 row house in Petworth, NW, offering 2,085 square feet of interior space across a five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath footprint. The home sits on a residential block characteristic of upper NW Washington, where early-twentieth-century construction defines the streetscape.
Layout and Parking
Five bedrooms and three full baths provide meaningful spatial flexibility, while the private concrete driveway addresses one of the most practical concerns for DC buyers at this price point. Secure off-street parking is a genuine differentiator in a market where many row houses of this vintage lack it entirely.
Neighborhood Context
Petworth is a well-established NW neighborhood with walkable access to Georgia Avenue and Upshur Street corridors, both of which offer local dining, coffee, and daily retail. The Green and Yellow Line Metro stations at Georgia Ave-Petworth and Columbia Heights are accessible from the neighborhood, supporting car-optional commuting.
Pricing Perspective
Five-bedroom row houses in NW DC represent a limited segment of the market, and this home is priced at $975,000 — a level consistent with comparable properties in Petworth and adjacent neighborhoods. Buyers seeking scale, parking, and architectural character in upper NW will find few alternatives at this configuration.

At 2,085 square feet, it is a genuinely spacious example of the type, with five bedrooms and three full baths plus a half bath distributed across its levels. The private driveway — concrete, paved, and secured — adds a layer of convenience that distinguishes this home from many comparable row houses in the neighborhood.

Petworth is one of upper NW Washington’s most established residential neighborhoods, characterized by consistent block-by-block architecture and a walkable commercial spine along Georgia Avenue and Upshur Street NW. The neighborhood sits within easy reach of the Green and Yellow Line Metro at Georgia Ave-Petworth, as well as the Columbia Heights station to the south. Local amenities include a range of dining options, coffee shops, and everyday retail concentrated along those two corridors.

A home of this scale in Petworth supports a range of daily routines, from walkable errands along Georgia Avenue to Metro-connected commutes into downtown DC or across the region. The neighborhood’s tree-lined residential streets and early-twentieth-century row house fabric create a grounded, unhurried residential environment. Private parking removes one of the more persistent friction points of urban DC living, and the home’s five-bedroom configuration allows for dedicated workspace, guest accommodation, or other uses beyond standard bedroom function.
