1546 New Jersey Ave NW

Welcome to Residence One at 1546 New Jersey Ave NW. This building was painstakingly renovated just six years ago with precision and care using the finishes of the highest quality. Upon entry of this two bedroom two and a half bathroom unit, through the custom solid mahogany door by Townsend Design (NYC) - your eyes will be drawn to a floor to ceiling original mural discovered and carefully preserved on the adjacent party wall of the former 1920s pharmacy next door. It is the kind of detail that stops guests mid-sentence. The kitchen is equally impressive: Fisher & Paykel appliances, Porcelanosa cabinetry, Quartzite surfaces, custom-milled white oak shelving, and Brizo plumbing fixtures. This is a kitchen designed for people who actually cook and people who just want it to look like they do. 10' ceilings with exposed ductwork and polished, heated concrete flooring throughout the unit will make you forget you are in DC. Bathrooms feature floating vanities with custom natural stone tops, Porcelanosa tile, and imported fixtures from Hansgrohe and Kohler. Everything has been finished to an ownership standard because it was. The unit is equipped with smart Ecobee thermostats for dual-zone climate control + control of radiant floor heating for those eco savvy renters. The rear of the unit has a private brick paver patio with lush landscaping and plenty of room for entertaining. Just through the Secure gate is a dedicated parking space for one vehicle. Ideally situated on a tree-lined street with views of the U.S Capitol, you are within moments of the heartbeat of what makes Shaw one of Washington's most electric addresses right now, and this block delivers the full experience on foot. The area is considered a walker's paradise coffee, groceries, dinner, and a nightcap are all steps away, no car required. The Shaw-Howard University Metro Station (Green/Yellow Line) is a 9-minute walk, and New Jersey Avenue puts the rest of the city downtown, the suburbs, Reagan National and Dulles within easy reach when you need it. Start the morning with a cardamom latte and pastry at The Coffee Bar on S Street, or pull up to Compass Coffee's flagship on 7th Street for their all-day breakfast menu. For dinner, the neighborhood is embarrassingly well-stocked: The Dabney in Blagden Alley has held a Michelin star every year since 2017, Causa's chef Carlos Delgado just took home the 2025 James Beard Award for Best Chef, Mid-Atlantic, and Service Bar has been ranked among the best bars in North America all within a short walk. Dacha Beer Garden is perfect for a sunny afternoon with a cold draft and nowhere to be. When the occasion calls for something more elevated, CityCenterDC home to Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Chanel, Dior, Tiffany, and more- is just a short jaunt. Whole Foods and Union Market are equally convenient for everyday needs. This is elevated city living at its best a neighborhood that has fully arrived, in a residence that was always ahead of it. **please note that the second bedroom is currently setup as a den/tv space**
