What's around 1428 Q Street Northwest

About this property

One of just two homes built on this block of Q Street in 1870, 1428 Q is a three-story Italianate row home with rare two-car off-street parking, set on a quiet and leafy stretch of Q St between 14th and 15th. Original 1870s details run through every room - the arched fanlight over the blue front door; wide-plank heart-pine floors throughout; a long beadboard entry hallway with original staircase; full-height natural-pine pocket doors between the living and dining rooms; two gas fireplaces — including an original carved-stone Italianate surround in the front parlor and a second in the top-floor primary — alongside additional decorative period mantels; ceiling medallions; crown moldings; and oversized windows on the front bay. The main level flows from a formal living room to the family room, half bathroom; the dining room and kitchen leading to a back deck and side garden. Three spacious bedrooms, a full bath with a clawfoot tub and brass fixtures, and laundry occupy the second floor. The top floor is a private primary retreat — nearly 455 square feet, with its own fireplace, skylight, walk-in closet, and full bath. Personal touches throughout, including William Morris–style wallpaper in the powder room and a handmade-tile kitchen in artisan blue and terracotta. Where the renovations appear, they are quiet and systematic: a new main roof and skylights (2024); a kitchen refresh with new appliances, countertops, sink, flooring, and recessed lighting under freshly painted cabinetry (2024); solar serving the house via a power purchase agreement (2024); new windows in the dining and family rooms (2025); re-piped plumbing in PVC (2026); and zoned mini-split heating and cooling throughout. Two off-street parking spaces via the rear alley, a side garden walkway, and a deck off the kitchen close the package — a perfect pairing of preserved 1870s architecture and turnkey modern living. Offers requested by 12pm, Tuesday 5/19
