Open Sat 1-3 PM & Sun 12-2 PM. Welcome to 1313 10th Street NW, an extraordinary architectural showpiece situated on one of Shaw's most coveted blocks. Behind its classic historic façade lies a home that has been completely reimagined, elevated, and expanded. This special residence offers a striking combination of contemporary design, dramatic proportions, and thoughtful details rarely found in a traditional Federal rowhouse.
From the moment you enter, the home's remarkable sense of scale is immediately apparent. Soaring ceilings, an open stairwell, the graceful curvature of the upper landing, and multiple skylights create an architectural experience that feels both dramatic and inviting. Natural light pours through the home, accentuating its clean lines and carefully considered design.
At the heart of the home, a beautifully appointed kitchen features generous cabinetry, soapstone countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Beyond, an expansive dining and living area is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and complemented by a convenient powder room. The true centerpiece, however, is the spectacular two-story wall of windows overlooking the rear courtyard, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out.
Upstairs, two graciously sized bedrooms are complemented by a spacious bathroom featuring concrete tile, custom cabinetry, abundant storage, and a walk-in shower. The open landing and skylights further enhance the home's distinctive architectural character.
Outside, a private courtyard with extensive bluestone paving offers an inviting setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply unwinding beneath the trees. With room for additional plantings, it's a peaceful urban retreat in the heart of the city.
Just steps from Blagden Alley, one of Washington's most celebrated dining destinations, the home enjoys immediate access to neighborhood favorites including The Dabney, Tiger Fork, and Death & Co. Acclaimed restaurants, independent coffee shops, boutiques, and galleries define the surrounding streets, while CityCenterDC, the Convention Center, downtown Washington, and multiple Metro stations are all within easy reach.
