A Brightwood Classic with Room to Live

The home at 6215 7th St NW represents a century of NW DC residential character. Built in 1925, this semi-detached property carries the architectural scale and street presence that define Brightwood’s tree-lined blocks. Three bedrooms and three full baths across 1,650 square feet make it one of the more generously configured homes at this price point in the neighborhood.

Brightwood occupies a distinctive position in the NW quadrant, bordered by Rock Creek Park to the west and Georgia Avenue to the east. The neighborhood’s grid of early-twentieth-century homes has remained largely intact, giving the area a cohesion that newer developments rarely replicate. Seventh Street itself is a quiet residential block with consistent setbacks and mature canopy.

Georgia Avenue provides the primary commercial spine, with neighborhood grocers, local dining, and service retail within easy reach. Red Line access is available at both Takoma and Fort Totten stations, and multiple bus lines along Georgia Avenue connect directly into downtown DC. The proximity to Rock Creek Park adds a significant recreational dimension to daily life here.

At $499,900, this home offers a credible path into NW DC homeownership with the structural bones of a 1925 build and the spatial advantage of three full baths — a configuration that remains relatively uncommon at this price in the submarket.

The Property
Built in 1925, this semi-detached home delivers 1,650 square feet across three bedrooms and three full baths. The semi-detached configuration provides more exterior exposure than a typical row house, with natural light available from multiple orientations. The scale is practical without being oversized.
The Neighborhood
Brightwood is one of NW DC’s most established residential neighborhoods, defined by early-twentieth-century housing stock and proximity to Rock Creek Park. Seventh Street sits within the quieter interior of the neighborhood, away from the commercial activity of Georgia Avenue while remaining close to its amenities.
Getting Around
Red Line service is accessible at Takoma and Fort Totten stations, and Georgia Avenue bus lines provide direct connections downtown. Rock Creek Park trails are a short walk west, offering one of the city’s most significant natural recreational corridors directly from the neighborhood.
The Value Case
Three full baths in a home priced under $500,000 in NW DC is a meaningful differentiator. The 1925 construction date signals the kind of solid masonry build that has defined Brightwood’s housing stock for generations. For buyers evaluating NW DC at this price point, this home warrants serious consideration.

Property Location

About 6215 7th St NW

The home at 6215 7th St NW is a semi-detached residence built in 1925, offering 1,650 square feet across three bedrooms and three full baths. The semi-detached form distinguishes it from the attached row houses that dominate much of DC’s residential fabric, providing additional light exposure and a degree of acoustic separation from the neighboring structure. The 1925 construction era in Brightwood typically means masonry construction with plaster walls, hardwood subfloors, and the kind of proportioned rooms that reflect pre-war residential standards.

Brightwood occupies the upper reaches of NW DC, bounded roughly by Rock Creek Park to the west, Georgia Avenue to the east, and Military Road to the south. The neighborhood developed primarily in the early twentieth century, and its housing stock reflects that era’s preference for semi-detached and detached single-family homes on modest lots. Seventh Street NW is a residential block within that fabric — consistent in scale, lined with mature trees, and removed from the commercial activity of the Georgia Avenue corridor while remaining close to it.

Georgia Avenue anchors the neighborhood’s daily commerce, with grocery options, local dining, and service retail concentrated along its length north of Shepherd Street. Rock Creek Park’s trail network begins at the western edge of Brightwood, offering direct access to miles of wooded paths, the creek itself, and connections to the broader park system. Red Line stations at Takoma and Fort Totten serve the neighborhood, and multiple Metrobus routes along Georgia Avenue provide frequent service into downtown DC and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

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

A semi-detached home shares only one wall with a neighboring structure, leaving the opposite side fully exposed. This means additional windows, more natural light from multiple orientations, and greater acoustic separation than a typical DC row house. At 6215 7th St NW, that configuration is a meaningful structural advantage.
The home has three full baths across its 1,650 square feet. That ratio — one full bath per bedroom — is relatively uncommon in NW DC homes at this price point and adds practical flexibility for everyday living arrangements.
The home is served by the Red Line at both Takoma and Fort Totten stations. Multiple Metrobus routes along Georgia Avenue NW also provide direct service into downtown DC, giving residents meaningful transit options without relying solely on Metro.
Homes built in Brightwood during the 1920s were typically constructed with masonry exteriors, plaster interior walls, and hardwood subfloors. This era of construction is known for solid bones and proportioned rooms. Buyers should commission a thorough inspection to assess the condition of mechanical systems, roof, and foundation.
Parking details were not specified in the listing data available. Buyers should confirm parking availability — whether a garage, driveway, or on-street — directly with the listing agent or through a property inspection. Many Brightwood semi-detached homes include rear alley access.
