Description

Own a Piece of DC’s Most Sought-After Neighborhood — With income potential built right in! Columbia Heights doesn’t just have character — it is character. And 3214 Sherman Avenue NW sits at the heart of it all: a strikingly handsome period townhouse that pairs a jaw-dropping original exterior with a renovated, light-filled contemporary interior. This is the rare home that delivers everything — history, style, flexibility, and one of the best locations in the city.
The first floor sets the tone immediately. A generous living room faces Sherman Avenue, anchoring a floor that flows effortlessly through a dining room, renovated kitchen, powder room, and laundry. Just beyond the laundry room lies private access to one of the most coveted features in urban DC living — a professionally landscaped rooftop garden perched atop the two-car detached garage. Private, serene, and completely unexpected, this is your personal oasis in the middle of the city. Quiet morning coffee or an evening with friends under the stars — it works beautifully for both. Upstairs, a spacious principal bedroom anchors a second floor with two guest rooms and a recently renovated full bath — comfortable, polished, and move-in ready.
The fully self-contained legal lower-level rental suite comes with its own separate entrance, bedroom, full bath, laundry, and kitchen! Live in it, lease it, or host on your own terms. The income potential and flexibility here are genuinely exceptional — a true asset in one of DC’s hottest zip codes. Current owner was leasing the space for $2500 a month.
The detached two-car garage includes a separate bonus room ready to become whatever you need: workshop, home office, garden shed, or extra storage. Rooftop solar panels and thoughtful green features put real money back in your pocket year after year.
And the location? Almost unfair. One block from over a dozen restaurants and wine and beer gardens, including 11th Street’s Michelin-recognized dining. Walking distance to Whole Foods. Four blocks to Metro. One block to Capital Bikeshare. This is DC living at its most convenient and most vibrant — rooted in one of the city’s great historic neighborhoods, with everything you need right at the door.
Homes like this don’t wait. 3214 Sherman Ave NW is ready for its next chapter.
