435 R St NW

Completed in 2014, this mid-rise condominium sits in Washington D.C.’s Shaw neighborhood as a boutique, elevator-served building with roughly two dozen units. Architecturally it reads as contemporary urban infill with a modest lobby, secure key-fob access, and storefront-facing street presence. Residences are primarily one- and two-bedroom plans arranged for open living: floor-to-ceiling or large sliding windows, hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and high ceilings create bright, efficient interiors. Kitchens are finished with quartz or solid-surface counters, stainless appliances, soft-close cabinetry and islands or eat-in layouts; many homes include full-size washers and dryers. Bathrooms lean modern with spa-like tile and upgraded fixtures. Private balconies and plentiful closets appear in multiple units; select homes convey covered/reserved parking in a rear garage. Common building provisions emphasize convenience—bike storage, on-site parking by permit, pet-friendly policies, relatively low condo fees, and a compact set of shared spaces rather than full-service amenities. Services are limited to secure access and standard property maintenance. The location is a primary selling point: two blocks from Shaw-Howard University Metro, surrounded by restaurants, coffee shops, nightlife and cultural destinations, offering an urban, highly walkable lifestyle and strong transit and cycling connectivity.
