A Landmark-Corridor Colonial in Shepherd Park

The home at 7725 16th Street NW sits within Shepherd Park, one of upper NW’s most architecturally cohesive residential neighborhoods. Built in 1936, the Colonial-style structure reflects the period craftsmanship and massing that characterize the best of DC’s pre-war residential stock.

At 3,467 square feet, the floor plan accommodates five bedrooms and three and a half baths with room to spare. The two-car garage — a genuine rarity for a home of this era and location — adds practical value that buyers in this submarket consistently prioritize.

The 16th Street NW corridor connects Shepherd Park directly to the heart of the city, making this address as convenient as it is established. Nearby parks, local dining, and everyday retail serve the neighborhood without requiring a car for most errands.

At $1,250,000, the home represents a meaningful entry into one of NW Washington’s most enduring single-family markets, where pre-war Colonials of this scale trade infrequently.

Pre-War Colonial Scale
The home dates to 1936, placing it firmly within the generation of Colonial construction that gave Shepherd Park its architectural identity. The 3,467-square-foot footprint is generous by any measure, and the five-bedroom configuration offers flexibility that smaller pre-war homes in the area simply cannot match.
Rare Garage Parking
A two-car garage is among the most practical differentiators a home in this corridor can offer. Pre-war homes of this era were rarely built with enclosed parking at this capacity, and the garage adds day-to-day utility that buyers consistently weigh heavily in upper NW.
16th Street Connectivity
16th Street NW is one of Washington’s great residential boulevards, running from the Maryland line directly toward the White House. The address places residents within easy reach of Rock Creek Park, neighborhood retail along Georgia Avenue, and the broader amenities of upper NW.
Upper NW Value Context
The Shepherd Park single-family market moves deliberately, and homes of this scale and vintage rarely appear at this price point. Buyers evaluating upper NW Colonials will find this home’s combination of square footage, garage parking, and corridor address difficult to replicate in the current inventory.

Property Location

About 7725 16th St NW

The home at 7725 16th Street NW is a five-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath Colonial built in 1936, offering 3,467 square feet of interior space on one of NW Washington’s most recognized residential corridors. The scale of the floor plan — uncommon for homes of this vintage — allows for genuine separation between living, dining, and sleeping areas. A two-car garage completes the picture, providing enclosed parking that is genuinely scarce among pre-war homes in this part of the city.

Shepherd Park occupies the northernmost reach of NW Washington, bordered by Rock Creek Park to the west and the Maryland line to the north. The neighborhood is defined by its tree-lined streets, substantial pre-war homes, and proximity to both Rock Creek Park trails and the commercial activity along Georgia Avenue NW. The 16th Street corridor itself functions as a direct artery into the city, connecting Shepherd Park to Columbia Heights, U Street, and downtown DC without requiring a highway.

Daily life in Shepherd Park centers on the neighborhood’s walkable retail, nearby parks, and the accessibility that 16th Street NW provides. Rock Creek Park trails are close at hand for those who prioritize outdoor recreation, while the Georgia Avenue corridor offers grocery options, local dining, and everyday services. The Glenmont and Forest Glen Metro stations on the Red Line are accessible from this part of upper NW, and several bus lines along 16th Street provide additional transit options into the city.

At 3,467 square feet, this home is on the larger end of the Shepherd Park single-family inventory. Pre-war Colonials in this neighborhood vary considerably in size, and homes offering this much interior space — particularly with five bedrooms — trade infrequently in the current market.
No — enclosed two-car garages are genuinely uncommon among homes built in the 1930s in upper NW Washington. Most pre-war homes in this area were built with limited or no off-street parking, making the garage a meaningful differentiator for this property.
The home is positioned in upper NW near the Maryland line, with Red Line Metro stations accessible in the broader area. Multiple bus lines run along 16th Street NW, providing additional transit options directly into the city without requiring a car.
The home is listed at $1,250,000. For a five-bedroom, 3,467-square-foot pre-war Colonial with a two-car garage on the 16th Street NW corridor, this price point reflects the scale and rarity of the offering within the Shepherd Park single-family submarket.
This is a single-family home with no HOA or condo association on record. Buyers should confirm with their agent and through title review, but the property does not carry the monthly fee obligations associated with condominium or planned community ownership.
