A Petworth Semi-Detached with Depth, History, and Garage Parking

723 Nicholson St NW is a semi-detached home situated on a residential block in Petworth, NW. Built in 1939, the home is part of the cohesive housing stock that gives this neighborhood its distinctive streetscape character. At 2,006 square feet, the layout accommodates three bedrooms and three and a half baths with room to breathe across each level.

The garage — a single dedicated space — is a practical asset that sets this home apart from many comparable properties in the neighborhood. Street parking in Petworth can be competitive, and an enclosed garage provides both convenience and security year-round.

Petworth occupies a central position in NW Washington, with ready access to the Georgia Avenue and Upshur Street corridors, nearby parks, and the Green and Yellow Line Metro stations that connect residents to the broader city. The neighborhood’s walkable blocks and mix of local retail and dining have made it one of the more active residential markets in upper NW.

Offered at $681,500, this home represents a substantive opportunity in a neighborhood with a well-established identity and a strong base of owner-occupied housing. The Wardman Residential team at Compass represented the seller in this transaction.
