1217 N St Nw #101 · Apartment for Rent

We custom-built our ideal apartment in DC's best neighborhood, but now we have to move for work, so it's your chance to take over. 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, just west of all that's great in Shaw, stumbling distance to some of the best coffee, food and drink in America. We did a gut renovation, uncovering much of the home's original 1875 brick and injecting huge amounts of modern-industrial panache: barnwood floors, 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 face your private, tree-centered back patio, 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 irreplaceable antique louvered shutters * Huge bedroom with office (or nursery) space, overlooking your private patio and garden * A guest loft/reading nook/extra storage, serviced by a custom loft-ladder * Rear patio large enough for a huge barbecue grill, table and chairs, fire-pit, and a dozen friends! * Brand new tropical hardwood (Ipe) deck for breakfasting on (in-progress...) * Private parking space with direct access via the patio * Massive designer kitchen with stainless counters, custom-fabricated cabinets, tons of storage, gas chef's stove, and near-silent Euro-style appliances behind decorator panels * Huge open dining/living room with brick fireplace * Full-size HE washer & dryer, central heat & A/C, whole-house data/TV wiring via a central panel, and pre-integrated WiFi throughout (which solves the issue of brick not liking WiFi) * Lovely, quiet overhead fans for cool, breezy summers * Dressing-room with Elfa closets and three (3!) extra storage lofts * Dramatic bath with surgical sink, vintage-style tile, and your own school locker * Enclosed entry/foyer as mudroom, fitness studio, bike-storage, etc... or a cute reading alcove (as pictured) Unparallelled Location: One block north to enjoy the social scene on Logan Circle. Go one block west to the foot of 14th Street's restaurants and bars, plus great gyms, yoga/Crossfit studios, and more. Less than 10 minutes' walk to Whole Foods, the 24-hour CVS, and 2 great neighborhood groceries. Two blocks to Blagden Alley, and one more to the rest of Shaw's finest spots on 9th St. COFFEE: La Colombe & The Coffee Bar are both within groggy-morning stumbling distance. Is this the city's finest food and coffee neighborhood? Yes. Unlimited Transportation: We're a short walk to EVERY Metro line: Blue & Orange, Green & Yellow, and Red are all within 15 minutes on foot (less by Bikeshare). Just a block away are a host of buses to the CBD and beyond. Uber loves this area and is always nearby. And multiple Capital Bikeshare locations are within a two block radius, so there's always one available! So, we have easy (and proven!) commutes anywhere from Capitol Hill to Foggy Bottom or Georgetown, let alone the easy walk down to K St. Oh! And the parking spot 20 yards away makes it incredibly easy to keep a car, whether for daily convenience or just weekend escapes. The property is available to start between May 15 and June 1. $4300/month includes all condo services (water, gas, trash). Renter pays only electric and phone/TV/internet.
