1512 Marion St NW

A small midcentury boutique condominium in Shaw, built in 1950, composed primarily of one-bedroom residences. The block-scale structure presents modest, traditional masonry and simple window rhythms typical of postwar urban infill rather than a high-rise profile. Interiors emphasize efficient open-plan living: combined kitchen/living or kitchen/dining footprints, galley and island kitchen variations, recessed lighting, hardwood floors and upgraded countertops. Units frequently include in-unit washer/dryers, generous closets or walk-in closet layouts, and bathrooms with tub/shower configurations. Common elements are minimal and residentially focused—limited off-street parking with one-car spaces, low condominium fees that commonly cover water and trash, and a pet-friendly policy. The building’s maintenance and management are handled through the HOA; on-site concierge or doorman services are not part of the profile. Located on a quiet one-way residential street, the property sits within Shaw’s dense urban fabric: three blocks to Metro, steps from grocery and the CityMarket at O, restaurants, parks and the Convention Center. The setting favors a walkable, transit-rich lifestyle with easy street-level access to neighborhood retail and civic destinations.
