Perfectly sited along tree-lined R Street NW, this Victorian-era row-home (circa 1890) stands proudly within the Shaw Historic District, blending architectural heritage with refined, modern livability. Behind its south-facing brick façade, the residence has been beautifully reimagined, preserving original craftsmanship while introducing contemporary comfort at every turn. A front garden framed by mature boxwoods sets a gracious tone for the approach through the original vestibule and double doors, opening to a luminous interior of exceptional scale and proportion. The main level unfolds with soaring ceilings and windows, original wood pocket doors, and wide-plank wood floors throughout. A bay window anchors the elegant living room, flowing seamlessly into a formal dining room—an inviting setting for entertaining. At the rear, a custom chef’s kitchen showcases bespoke wood cabinetry, a Wolf gas range with vent hood, and a Thermador refrigeration suite complete with an integrated wine column. Every finish selection reflects quality and style from Hudson Valley light fixtures to marbled bathrooms with Robern fixtures and cabinetry with integrated lighting and electrical outlets. The kitchen opens directly onto the rear deck and professionally landscaped rear garden—a private urban retreat with a built-in outdoor kitchen (gas grill, sink, and beverage cooler) and multiple entertaining areas. Landscape lighting and an irrigation system enhance both front and rear gardens, while two secure parking spaces, discreetly screened by custom fencing and mature trees, offer rare convenience without compromise. Upstairs, the primary suite enjoys a bay window alcove overlooking treetops and features an ensuite bath with soaking tub plus shower and double vanity. Two additional bedrooms, a second full bath, and multiple skylights complete the upper level, flooding the home with natural light. A rare blend of historic authenticity and turnkey sophistication, 925 R Street exemplifies Shaw’s architectural legacy and modern urban refinement - offering a level of finish seldom seen today, just one block from Metro and moments from Logan Circle and the city’s finest dining, shops, and culture.

In the heart of dynamic Shaw, this delightful row house is brimming with charm, from wooden pocket doors and hardwoods to exposed brick. A classic vestibule and gorgeous, carved door welcome you to this beautifully renovated home. Bay windows fill the space with sunlight. Chefs will covet the renovated kitchen with a full-sized beverage refrigerator, Wolf range with pot filler, and stone counters. A laundry room is tucked into a closet, and the powder room on the main floor offers convenience for guests. At the end of a long day, retreat to the primary bedroom, with a bay-window reading nook and en-suite, spa bath. The stunning backyard is perfect for entertaining, with a built-in grill, sink and mini-fridge, with a pergola with retractable awnings crowning the tree-lined deck. An outdoor shed stores gardening equipment and bicycles, while the gated driveway provides parking for two cars. Enjoy dining in the many restaurants nearby, shop in neighborhood boutiques, and grab a drink with friends at the Dacha Beer Garden. Nearby Logan Circle offers even more dining and shopping. Cardozo playground, a dog park and Banneker High School are across the street, and the metro is two blocks away.
