Historic Scale in the Heart of NW DC

931 M St NW is a semi-detached row house of uncommon size and provenance, built in 1890 and situated in the Mount Vernon Triangle neighborhood of NW Washington. At 4,065 square feet, the home occupies a footprint rarely available in this part of the city, where intact Victorian-era residential fabric commands sustained buyer attention.

The five-bedroom, four-full-bath configuration distributes across multiple levels in a manner consistent with late-19th-century DC residential construction — generous room proportions, high ceilings, and a vertical flow that distinguishes the type from later-era attached housing. Two half baths add practical flexibility throughout the home.

A private one-car garage is a meaningful asset in a neighborhood where off-street parking is scarce. Mount Vernon Triangle sits at the convergence of several major transit corridors, placing multiple Metro lines and the broader downtown grid within easy reach.

At $2,350,000, the home represents a significant position in the NW DC row house market — one supported by the property’s scale, age, and location at the edge of Penn Quarter, NoMa, and Capitol Hill’s western approach.

Historic Provenance
The home dates to 1890, placing it among the older surviving residential structures in this part of NW DC. Mount Vernon Triangle retains a concentration of late-Victorian row houses that give the neighborhood its architectural coherence. This property is a substantive example of that stock.
Exceptional Scale
At 4,065 square feet, the home is notably large for a semi-detached row house in this corridor. Five bedrooms and four full baths across multiple levels provide a room count that supports a wide range of living arrangements. The two additional half baths reflect the home’s original generous programming.
Practical Infrastructure
A private garage space is a rare convenience in Mount Vernon Triangle, where on-street parking is competitive. The home’s infrastructure — including its parking, full bath count, and square footage — positions it well above the typical NW DC row house offering in this price range.
Central DC Position
Mount Vernon Triangle sits within walking distance of Penn Quarter, NoMa, and the downtown core. Multiple Metro lines serve the immediate area, and the neighborhood’s position between several of DC’s most active commercial and cultural districts makes it one of the more strategically located residential pockets in NW.

About 931 M St NW

931 M St NW is a semi-detached row house constructed in 1890, representing a well-preserved example of the late-Victorian residential scale that defines Mount Vernon Triangle.

Mount Vernon Triangle occupies a compact but strategically positioned section of NW DC, bounded by the Penn Quarter district to the west and the NoMa corridor to the north and east. The neighborhood’s residential streets retain much of their original late-19th-century character, with intact row house blocks that have attracted sustained preservation interest. Local cafes, restaurants, and grocery options are accessible on foot, and the broader downtown grid expands the range of daily amenities considerably. The area’s position between several of DC’s most active commercial districts gives it a connectivity that few purely residential neighborhoods can match.

Daily life at 931 M St NW is shaped by the home’s proximity to the full range of central DC amenities. Multiple Metro lines are accessible within a short walk, connecting residents to the broader region without reliance on a car — though the private garage ensures that option remains available.
