1217 N St NW, Washington, DC 20005

The owners completed a months-long architect-led transformation of their ideal apartment in DC's best neighborhood, and then promptly had to move for work. There isn't another unit like this in Washington. It's SoHo-style industrial-chic, in a beautiful historic row-house just south of Logan Circle, and just west of the new hotness in Shaw. (Stumbling distance to some of the best coffee in America, at La Colombe.) Over nine months, they did a complete gut-renovation, uncovering much of the home's original 1875 brick and injecting huge amounts of modern-industrial panache. They installed reclaimed barnwood floors throughout, a guest loft/reading nook, huge new kitchen casement window, a sweet custom kitchen with Euro-style appliances perfect for entertaining, and more. The oversized master bedroom & office faces your private, tree-lined back patio (and parking space beyond), making for enjoyable work days and a quiet night's sleep. Features: Exposed brick in every room, reclaimed barnwood floors, and lofty 12-13' ceilings Historic front window bay with louvered shutters Huge bedroom with office (or nursery) space, overlooking your private patio and garden A guest loft/reading nook, serviced by a custom loft-ladder Rear patio large enough for a huge barbecue grill, table and chairs, and a dozen friends! Private parking space with direct access via the patio Massive designer kitchen with stainless counters, custom-fabricated cabinets, tons of storage, gas cooking, and near-silent Euro-style appliances behind decorator panels. Huge open dining/living room with brick fireplace & breathtaking vintage floor Full-size high-efficiency washer & dryer, central heat & A/C, and whole-house data/TV wiring via a central panel. Lovely, quiet overhead fans for cool, breezy summers Dressing-room with Elfa closets and three extra storage lofts. Dramatic bath with surgical sink, vintage-style tile, and your own school locker Unfurnished, and is available on/after October 1. Multi-year leases are encouraged. Unparallelled Location: Go one block west to the foot of 14th Street's restauts and bars, plus great gyms, yoga/Crossfit studios, and more. It's less than 10 minutes' walk to Whole Foods and the 24-hour CVS. Just three blocks east are Shaw's finest destinations: Thally's, Table, SUNdeVICH, A&D Bar, La Colombe, etc. Also close: The Coffee Bar & Peregrine Espresso, plus Dolcezza & Slipstream. (There isn't a finer coffee neighborhood in the city. No, really.) And for food, there are too many options to even discuss. You can eat yourself silly within walking distance. Unlimited Transportation: You're a short walk to every Metro line. Again, every one: Blue & Orange, Green & Yellow, and Red are all within 15 minutes on foot (and mere moments by Bikeshare). Just a block away are a host of buses to the central business district, the Metro stations and much more. Uber loves this area and is always nearby. And multiple Capital Bikeshare locations are within a two block radius! fwiw... it's been featured in a couple local press outlets: UrbanTurf: The July Washingtonian, which you can't see all of on the web, but the photo near bottom should be familiar: $3900/month includes all condo services (water, trash removal, building maintenance.) Renter pays only electric and phone/tv/internet. Well-behaved pets will be considered, with no specific weight limit. (There's a community-run dog park at 11th and R Street.) The property is available on/after October 1, unfurnished. The unit is fully wired for internet connectivity. The tenant pays only for electric service and internet service.
