Description

Welcome to 12th Place NW, one of DC's most colorful and recognizable blocks. Tucked along a quiet, tree-lined one-way street in the heart of the U Street Corridor, this charming 2-bedroom / 1 bathroom rowhome combines historic character, modern updates, and an unmatched neighborhood feel.

Built in 1890 and thoughtfully updated, the home features exposed brick, a functional wood-burning fireplace, a renovated kitchen (2023), updated bathroom (2022), and new central HVAC (2024). A fenced rear roll-up garage offers rare flexibility, easily converting from secure off-street parking for a compact vehicle to a private patio ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a full bath, plus additional attic storage.

Just outside your door, enjoy easy access to Maydan, Rooster & Owl, Tatte, La Colombe, Franklin Hall, Meridian Hill Park, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Streets and the restaurants, shops, and nightlife of the U Street and 14th Street corridors. The U Street Metro is just a short walk away.

    "I would not suggest the U Street Corridor for families, especially in which the children are very young. While it is bustling and has many urban amenities, the neighborhood might be difficult to navigate or live in with young children."
