OPEN HOUSE -- Sat, Aug 22 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM!!! Some homes ask you to compromise between space and location. This one doesn't. Ten-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows give #206 the scale of a true industrial loft, while wide-plank hardwood runs the length of an open layout built for how you actually live — cooking, hosting, working from home, and everything in between. The kitchen anchors it all: a gas range, stainless steel appliances, and enough cabinet space to keep every tool within reach, opening directly into a living area sized for real furniture and real gatherings. Step out to your private balcony for morning coffee or an evening wind-down above the city. A den off the main living space flexes to whatever you need it to be — office, guest room, studio — without eating into the primary living area. In the primary suite, sliding glass doors let you open the room up or close it off depending on the day, and the walk-in closet's built-in Elfa system keeps everything organized from day one. The ensuite bath is a quiet retreat at the end of it. A powder room near the entry means you're always ready for guests, and in-unit laundry plus a dedicated coat closet handle the everyday logistics without a second thought. The building matches the unit's energy: a rooftop deck with lounge seating, grills, and an herb garden for warm-weather evenings, plus a front desk concierge, elevator access, and a parking garage with rentable spaces below. And the neighborhood does the rest of the selling — a 97 Walk Score, an 88 Bike Score, and the U Street Metro just five minutes on foot put Whole Foods, Landmark Cinema, The Atlantis, the 9:30 Club, and Howard Theatre all within easy reach. This is Shaw at its most livable — walk out your door and the city is already in motion.
