Executive Summary
Located at 1643 6th St NW in Shaw, this three-bedroom, three-bath condominium delivers 1,330 square feet of living space within a building that carries the architectural character of its 1938 origins. The residence offers a rare bedroom-to-bath ratio that accommodates a range of living arrangements.

Shaw’s position at the intersection of several DC neighborhoods places residents within reach of the city’s most active dining, cultural, and transit corridors.
Three Bedrooms. Three Baths. The Character of Shaw.
The residence at 1643 6th St NW #6 occupies one of DC’s most historically layered neighborhoods, where early-20th-century building stock meets a contemporary urban energy. At 1,330 square feet, the floor plan delivers space that is genuinely livable — not merely adequate.
Three full baths across three bedrooms is a configuration that remains uncommon at this price point in NW DC. Each bedroom has its own bath, a structural fact that distinguishes this residence from the majority of comparable condominiums in the submarket.
The building’s 1938 construction brings with it the proportions and detailing characteristic of that era — higher ceilings, solid construction, and a presence on the streetscape that newer buildings rarely replicate. The HOA structure covers exterior maintenance, insurance, sewer, water, and reserve contributions, consolidating the core costs of ownership into a single monthly figure.
Shaw’s location within NW places residents at the convergence of multiple Metro lines, a dense concentration of dining and retail, and the cultural institutions that define this part of the city. The neighborhood’s walkability and transit access make car-optional living a practical reality.
