1501 6th St NW

This two-level upper unit of a stately corner Victorian in historic South Shaw comes with three private outdoor spaces: a balcony, a leafy terrace, and a huge roof deck with beautiful views. Located a few blocks from downtown, the home has high ceilings and two window bays on each floor, so natural light streams in from south, east and west. Rated a "Walker's Paradise," it's a quick stroll to Judiciary Square, Mt. Vernon Square/Penn Quarter, City Center, K Street/downtown, NOMA, Logan Circle, Dupont Circle, Howard/U Street/LeDroit, and all the museums, gardens and galleries of the National Mall (though up on the roof, watching nighthawks in treetops at sunset, you might forget how central you are). Details: Living/dining/kitchen expanse has exposed brick; heritage wood floor; chef's kitchen with ample cabinet storage and Bertazzoni gas range; and a parlor bath with sink from the original Willard Hotel. Off the dining area, a balcony shaded by a century-old oak looks across to a pretty (and quiet) Baptist church--a sweet spot for coffee in the morning. Upstairs master bedroom suite has large in-built wardrobe and full bath with double shower. Second bedroom/bath suite (ideal for WFH office) opens out onto the terrace. From there, a spiral staircase leads to the roof deck, which has sectional seating and a small butterfly garden. Within blocks: great bars, bakeries, coffeeshops, and restaurants; two farmer's markets and multiple grocery stores (two blocks to Giant at CityMarket, eight to two WFs). A park kitty-corner from house has lighted tennis court, a baseball field, and a (free!) indoor gym. Three Metro stations (Red, Green, and Yellow lines) are nearby, and a bus to Dupont Circle and Georgetown runs every 20 minutes. Other amenities included in rent: 5G FIOS wifi; monitored security/smoke/fire alarm system; Nest smart thermostat system. Available from August 23nd. The cost of Fios 5G wifi, water, and security system included in rent. Gas and electricity not included.
