Shaw, Washington DC NW

A Shaw Row House of Uncommon Scale

1320 10th Street NW is a five-bedroom row house in Shaw, one of NW Washington’s most historically significant and actively sought neighborhoods. The home was built in 1900 and reflects the architectural character that defines this corridor — substantial masonry construction, generous floor plates, and a street presence that newer construction rarely replicates.

At 4,500 square feet across five bedrooms and four full baths, the home offers a scale that is genuinely uncommon for the DC row house market. Properties of this size in Shaw trade infrequently, and the combination of square footage, bedroom count, and full bath configuration positions this home as a standout in its category.

Shaw’s location within NW DC places residents within walking distance of the U Street and Shaw-Howard University Metro stations, as well as the dining, retail, and cultural institutions that have made the neighborhood a focal point of the city. The 10th Street corridor itself is a quiet residential block set within easy reach of all of that activity.

Offered at $2,150,000, this row house represents a considered acquisition for a buyer seeking meaningful square footage, historic fabric, and a deeply connected NW DC address.

Historic Scale
The home dates to 1900, placing it among the original residential stock of Shaw. Late-Victorian row house construction in this neighborhood is characterized by solid masonry, high ceilings, and proportions that reflect an era when DC’s row houses were built to last generations. That architectural DNA is present throughout 1320 10th Street NW.
Rare Floor Plan
Five bedrooms and four full baths across 4,500 square feet is a configuration that rarely comes to market in Shaw. The floor plan allows for flexible use of space — dedicated guest accommodations, a home office, or additional living areas — without the compromises common to smaller row house footprints.
Shaw Location
Shaw occupies a central position in NW DC, bounded by Logan Circle, U Street, and the Convention Center corridor. The neighborhood’s walkability, transit connectivity, and concentration of independent restaurants and cultural venues make 10th Street NW a genuinely convenient address for daily life in the city.
Market Context
At $2,150,000, this home is priced within the upper tier of the Shaw row house market, consistent with properties offering comparable square footage and bedroom count. Buyers evaluating this price point will find few alternatives that combine historic construction, five bedrooms, and a full 4,500 square feet on a single NW address.

Property Location

About 1320 10th St NW

1320 10th Street NW is a row house of substantial presence, built in 1900 and spanning 4,500 square feet across five bedrooms and four full baths. The home’s construction reflects the late-Victorian masonry tradition common to Shaw’s residential blocks — a building approach that has proven durable across more than a century of DC urban life. The scale of the floor plan, with five true bedrooms and four full baths, is a meaningful differentiator in a market where comparable configurations are seldom available.

Shaw is one of NW Washington’s most historically layered neighborhoods, anchored by the U Street corridor and bounded by Logan Circle to the south and the Howard University campus to the north. The 10th Street NW block where this home sits is a residential street that connects directly to the neighborhood’s broader walkable grid. Local dining, independent retail, and cultural institutions are within easy reach, and the neighborhood’s two Metro stations — Shaw-Howard University on the Green and Yellow lines, and U Street on the Green and Yellow lines — provide direct access to the broader city.

Daily life from 1320 10th Street NW is oriented around one of DC’s most walkable and transit-rich neighborhoods. The U Street corridor and its concentration of restaurants, coffee shops, and live music venues is close by, as are the grocery options and neighborhood services that support everyday living. The home’s five-bedroom configuration also accommodates a range of daily routines — dedicated workspace, guest accommodations, or simply the breathing room that larger households require. For a buyer seeking a full-scale NW DC address without sacrificing urban connectivity, this block delivers.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

Key details about the residence, building, and location to help you evaluate this opportunity.

At 4,500 square feet with five bedrooms and four full baths, this home occupies a scale that is genuinely uncommon in Shaw.

The home was built in 1900, placing it within Shaw’s original late-Victorian residential stock. Construction of this era typically features solid masonry walls, high ceilings, and substantial structural bones that have supported more than a century of urban use. Buyers should conduct a thorough inspection to assess current condition and any updates made over time.
The Shaw-Howard University Metro station and the U Street Metro station are both nearby, each serving the Green and Yellow lines. This dual-station proximity gives residents direct access to downtown DC, Columbia Heights, and connections to the broader Metro system without relying on a single line.
Parking details were not specified in the listing information available. Buyers interested in parking should confirm availability directly with the listing agent and review any relevant DC parking permit zone information for the 10th Street NW block.
At $2,150,000 for 4,500 square feet, the home is priced at approximately $478 per square foot. This figure should be evaluated in the context of recent comparable sales in Shaw, which the Wardman Residential team can provide upon request.
