Teal-blue Craftsman front exterior of 3034 South Dakota Ave NE, a single-family home in Woodridge, Washington DC, with covered porch and mature trees

Just Listed · Woodridge · DC

Four-car parking. Metro access. And the owner doesn't pay an electric bill.

Most DC rowhouses make you choose: either you get the parking and give up the walkable corridor, or you land near Metro and fight for street spots every night. This 1924 single-family skips that trade entirely — and the owned solar makes the math even better.

The Story

A rare DC trifecta — parking, Metro, and zero utility costs.

Set on a quiet, tree-lined stretch of South Dakota Avenue NE in Woodridge, this 1924 Craftsman single-family delivers the kind of square footage and amenity combination that almost never surfaces inside the District at this price: four-car off-street parking accessed via a private driveway, three finished levels totaling 2,231 square feet, and an owned solar array that has eliminated the seller's electric bill entirely.

The covered front porch opens into a living room with hardwood floors underfoot and a brick fireplace mantel anchoring the space. The main level flows room-to-room — living room into a great room currently set up for a nine-seat dining table, then back through a sunroom with flex potential (office, studio, playroom) and into a kitchen with granite counters, wood cabinets, and stainless appliances including a Samsung range and LG refrigerator. The kitchen opens to the great room, so weeknight dinners and weekend gatherings share the same sightlines. A half bath off the main hallway keeps guests out of the private zones upstairs.

The everyday convenience: a rear entry from the parking pad straight into the kitchen — groceries, gear, and kids unloading from the car all skip the front-door formality.

Upstairs, three bedrooms with new wood flooring installed post-renovation span the full floor. The primary suite faces front with two closets and an attached full bath; across the hall sits a second bedroom and another full bath with tub; the back bedroom claims a large walk-in closet. Two full baths on the upper level mean no morning bottleneck, and the separation between primary and secondary bedrooms gives everyone breathing room.

The basement adds 720 finished square feet below grade — recreation space, home gym, workshop, or remote-office zone — with a third full bath, dedicated laundry room, outside entrance, and sump pump. Three full stories, a full bath on every level, and the kind of flexible square footage that adapts as your household shifts.

The solar panels are fully owned — no lease, no lien. The current owner hasn't paid an electric bill in years; instead, he's been receiving rebate checks back from the utility. That's not a financing gimmick or a lease you inherit. It's a zero-cost energy system that comes with the deed and keeps paying you every billing cycle.

Out back, the private driveway opens to a four-car concrete parking pad and a generous patio directly behind the house — the kind of outdoor space that handles everything from solo coffee mornings to summer cookouts with a dozen friends.

What's Inside

Eight things that make this listing different.

Owned Solar

An electric bill that pays you.

A fully owned, grid-tied PV solar array conveys with the property — no lease, no lien. The seller hasn't paid an electric bill in years and has been receiving rebate checks back from the utility instead.

4-Car Parking

Private driveway, rear entry.

Four off-street parking spaces on a concrete pad accessed via a private driveway from the rear alley — a genuinely rare amenity for a single-family in DC. Direct rear entry into the kitchen for grocery runs and gear hauls.

Three Finished Levels

2,231 square feet of flexible space.

1,511 sqft above grade plus 720 sqft of fully finished basement with outside entrance. Three real levels, a full bath on every floor, and room to absorb a home office, gym, or guest suite without compromise.

Kitchen

Granite, wood, stainless.

Gourmet kitchen with granite counters, wood cabinets, recessed lighting, and stainless appliances (Samsung range, LG refrigerator, dishwasher, built-in microwave). Opens directly to the great room and to the rear parking entry.

Primary Suite

Front-facing with attached bath.

Primary bedroom at the front with two closets and an attached full bath. Hardwood floors throughout the upper level. Quiet, well-lit, and properly separated from the secondary bedrooms across the hall.

Two Metro Stations

Red Line on both sides.

Rhode Island Ave–Brentwood Metro sits 1.3 miles southwest; Brookland–CUA Metro is 1.7 miles northwest. Both are Red Line — straight shots to Union Station, NoMa, and downtown DC.

Outdoor

Patio + fenced back yard.

A massive rear patio behind the house, fenced rear yard, and direct access from the dining/great room area. Built for cookouts, dog runs, and quiet morning coffee. The four-car pad sits beyond the patio.

Systems

200+ amp service, central A/C.

200+ amp electric service supports the solar array and modern loads. Central forced-air heat (natural gas), central A/C, public water and sewer, and a sump-pumped basement. The 2004 renovation reset systems and finishes.

The Energy Wedge

An owned solar array that pays the homeowner back.

In a city where the average single-family electric bill runs $130–$200 per month and rising, this home runs the opposite direction. The owned PV solar array generates more than the household uses — and the utility writes a rebate check.

How the solar works

The solar panels are fully owned — no lease, no power-purchase agreement, no lien. They convey with the deed at closing.

The system is grid-tied: power flows back to the utility when production exceeds household use, and the meter runs backward. The seller has been receiving rebate checks from the utility for the surplus generation.

Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) generated by the system are an additional revenue stream worth verifying with the seller's documentation — depending on the rate environment, SRECs can add a few hundred dollars per year of income.

What it means monthly

The DC household average electric bill is roughly $150 per month, or about $1,800 per year. For a 3-level home of this size and an all-electric load profile, the bill would typically run higher.

Instead of paying that, the seller has been receiving rebate checks from the utility. Over a typical 10-year ownership horizon, that flips a $20,000+ cost into a small positive income stream — a real swing in total cost of ownership.

Add the 200+ amp electric service and EV-ready parking pad, and you have a property positioned for the next decade of electrification trends without any further upgrade cost.

All figures are illustrative estimates. Actual utility rebates and SREC revenue depend on production, the utility's net-metering policy, and rate environment. Verify against the seller's utility documentation.
