A Century of Character in the Heart of Petworth

808 Delafield Place NW is a 1925 Petworth row house that delivers the architectural depth and neighborhood roots that define NW DC’s most sought-after residential streets. With two bedrooms, two full baths, and a half bath across 1,385 square feet, the home offers a floor plan that balances everyday livability with the proportions characteristic of early-twentieth-century DC construction.

Petworth is one of NW DC’s most connected and active neighborhoods, anchored by the Georgia Avenue-Petworth Metro station on the Green and Yellow lines and the independent dining and retail scene along Upshur Street NW. Delafield Place itself is a quiet residential street that sits within easy reach of both the neighborhood’s commercial energy and its tree-lined blocks of historic row houses.

Priced at $730,000, the home represents a considered opportunity in a neighborhood where original character and urban access converge. The Wardman Residential team at Compass has worked extensively in Petworth and across NW DC, and is well-positioned to provide buyers and sellers with current market context and comparable sales data.

The Property
808 Delafield Place NW is a two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath row house built in 1925, offering 1,385 square feet of interior space. The home reflects the scale and craftsmanship typical of Petworth’s early-twentieth-century residential stock, with a layout that accommodates both daily routines and longer-term flexibility.
The Neighborhood
Petworth occupies a central position in NW DC, bounded by Georgia Avenue to the west and connected to the broader city via the Green and Yellow line Metro.

About 808 Delafield Pl NW

808 Delafield Place NW is a Petworth row house built in 1925, a period that produced much of the neighborhood’s most enduring residential architecture. The home offers two bedrooms, two full baths, and a half bath within 1,385 square feet of interior space. The floor plan reflects the proportions and structural character common to DC row houses of this era, with room configurations that have proven adaptable across generations of ownership.

Petworth is one of NW DC’s most established residential neighborhoods, defined by its grid of tree-lined streets and a housing stock that dates largely to the early twentieth century. The Georgia Avenue-Petworth Metro station provides direct access to the Green and Yellow lines, connecting residents to downtown DC, Columbia Heights, and points south.

Delafield Place NW sits within a walkable section of Petworth where daily errands, dining, and transit are all accessible without a car.

For those who value proximity to the city’s core while living on a residential street with architectural continuity, Petworth delivers that balance consistently.
