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.
