What This Townhouse Offers
Where History Meets Elevated Living

This exceptional home brings together the irreplaceable architectural character of historic Shaw with the comfort, sophistication, and polish of a fully modernized residence.
From the moment you step inside, the thoughtful renovations and refined finishes make clear that no detail has been overlooked. Natural light pours through carefully positioned windows, soaring 14-foot ceilings command presence in the primary suite, and custom design touches throughout elevate the everyday into something genuinely special.
Positioned just half a block from the Metro and steps from Logan Circle, U Street's acclaimed restaurant corridor, Dacha Beer Garden, boutique grocery stores, and the city's finest nightlife, this address places the very best of Washington within effortless reach with a parking garage conveniently located one block away.

Main Level — Living & Entertaining
The main floor is conceived for a life lived fully. A welcoming living room sets the tone — warm, spacious, and versatile enough for quiet evenings in or effortless entertaining. The kitchen is the true heart of this level: thoughtfully designed with soft-close cabinetry and fixtures, it is equally at home hosting dinner parties or weekend brunches. A stylish powder room completes the main level, handling guests with effortless grace.
Primary Suite — A True Retreat
The primary bedroom is in a class entirely its own. Fourteen-foot ceilings lend a sense of grandeur rarely encountered in city living — a genuine architectural statement that transforms the room. A handcrafted custom accent wall adds warmth and artistry, while natural light completes the picture. The spa-caliber en-suite bathroom is anchored by a double-sink vanity, and a generous walk-in closet ensures that storage is never an afterthought. Mornings in the primary suite feel like a hotel — every single day.
Second Bedroom — Private, Flexible, Self-Contained
Private and fully self-contained, the second bedroom features its own dedicated full en-suite bathroom and closet — making it ideal as a guest suite, a refined home office, or a peaceful personal sanctuary. Natural light pours in throughout the day. Whether hosting a long-term guest or creating a productive workspace, this room adapts beautifully to your lifestyle.
