About this home
Nearly a century in the making, this classic Wardman-style residence is ready for its next chapter. Buy it today, and celebrate its centennial in 2027.
Set along a quiet, tree-lined street in Trinidad, this four-bedroom + den, two-and-a-half-bathroom rowhome unfolds across three fully finished levels, pairing the enduring character of classic Washington architecture with thoughtful updates for modern living. A flagstone walkway leads to the home’s welcoming front porch, a quintessential DC perch and a fitting introduction to the period details found within.
Step inside to discover original hardwood floors, graceful transoms, decorative moldings, traditional millwork, and soaring ceilings, all hallmarks of an earlier era that lend the interiors a warmth and authenticity that cannot be replicated. Fresh paint and recessed lighting provide a refined counterpoint, creating spaces that feel at once historic and entirely current.
The main level is designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind. An inviting living room offers a comfortable place to gather before giving way to the renovated kitchen—the heart of the home. Anchored by an oversized island, the space pairs sleek stainless steel appliances and gas cooking with quartz countertops, a generous pantry, and ample prep and storage space, creating a kitchen equally suited to quiet mornings and evenings spent entertaining. Beyond the kitchen, sunlight pours into a versatile rear room that can effortlessly transition between formal dining room, intimate sitting room, or casual gathering space. Doors open directly to the private rear deck, extending the living experience outdoors and creating a natural setting for morning coffee, dinner al fresco, or an evening with friends. A recently updated powder room completes the main level.
Upstairs, the home’s original character continues. A spacious primary bedroom is joined by two additional bedrooms, each enjoying abundant natural light, as well as a recently refreshed full bathroom. At the rear, an enclosed all-season porch is an unexpected and distinctly Washington feature—an intimate, light-filled retreat perfectly suited for a home office, nursery, dressing room, reading room, or creative space.
The fully finished walk-out lower level reveals another dimension of the home. Wide-plank flooring introduces a generous entertaining space complete with a custom built-in bar and dedicated media room wired for 5.1 surround sound. A private fourth bedroom and full bathroom create an ideal guest suite, while laundry and a separate rear entrance add everyday functionality and flexibility. Though the property does not include dedicated off-street parking, the rear provides convenient access for loading and unloading, complemented by ample street parking nearby.
And then there is the location. The home sits just blocks from the Trinidad Recreation Center and moments from some of Northeast Washington’s most dynamic destinations. The restaurants, nightlife, and energy of the H Street Corridor are close at hand, while Union Market offers a celebrated collection of dining, shopping, and neighborhood favorites. In the other direction, the expansive grounds of the National Arboretum provide a remarkable natural escape within the city.
Few homes have the opportunity to begin their next chapter at the same moment they approach such a meaningful milestone. Nearly 100 years after it was built, this quintessential DC rowhome remains defined by the details that made it special in the first place—generous proportions, enduring craftsmanship, architectural character, and spaces designed to evolve with the people who call it home. Move in today, make your mark, and celebrate 100 years of Washington history in 2027....
