DETAILS
Beautifully maintained...
three-story, 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom row house located in the heart of Shaw, steps from restaurants, metro, and shopping. At this exquisitely curated D.C. sanctuary, you'll be welcomed by a deep front yard blooming with an impressive native plant garden. Open the door, and you’ll feel as though you’ve been transported—earthy, warm, and artfully detailed. Thoughtful finishes like white oak hardwood floors, Fireclay tiles, Hay light fixtures and custom laundry space create a truly distinctive atmosphere. There's also rare off-street parking for two cars, a basketball hoop, and a fenced backyard with deck.

The home’s recent renovation is full of bespoke touches and high-quality craftsmanship, including:

- Large chef’s kitchen featuring a range hood, recessed lighting, ample storage, and a spacious central island ideal for entertaining.

- New hardwood oak floors from the main level extend to custom wooden stairs leading to the fully renovated lower level.

- The lower level features a large, newly renovated studio bedroom with built-in bookcases, hidden storage, a flexible kitchenette or laundry area, and built-in bench seating. The bathroom is brand-new and features a shower with a seating bench and elegant fixtures from Schoolhouse Electric and HAY.

- Outside there is a private fenced yard. Main-level porch with ample room for outdoor dining, lounging and entertaining. The lower-level garden features covered bike storage and Veggo raised beds—ideal for creating your own urban garden.

This home is far more than just a place to live—it's a thoughtfully designed retreat in the heart of the DC.
