1817 8th Street NW offers the rare combination of classic DC rowhouse character, thoughtful updates, private outdoor space, and two-car parking in the heart of Shaw. Behind its distinctive façade and sunny yellow door, this 3BR/3BA (main level has full bath and potential 4th bedroom) home features high ceilings, warm wood floors, exposed brick accents, and abundant natural light throughout.
The renovated kitchen is a standout, with rich cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a large center island with seating, contemporary lighting, and a charming sliding barn door connecting to the dining area. Comfortable living and dining spaces provide an easy flow for everyday living and entertaining.
Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, a home office, or additional living space. The spacious primary bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed, while the renovated bathrooms feature crisp tilework, glass-enclosed showers, and modern black fixtures.
Outside, enjoy both a landscaped front garden and a private fenced rear yard, an exceptional city retreat with room to dine, entertain, garden, or simply unwind. Beyond the yard are two dedicated off-street parking spaces, secured by a roll-up garage door.
With a Walk Score of 99, you’re moments from Metro, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, U Street, and Shaw’s acclaimed restaurants, cafés, shopping, and nightlife. A turnkey townhouse offering the space, outdoor living, parking, and location that are increasingly hard to find in central DC.
