Set on one of Shaw's most coveted blocks, 934 French Street NW is a thoughtfully reimagined residence that blends historic character, modern design, and exceptional livability. Originally renovated down to the studs and redesigned in collaboration with Brittingham Architecture, the home offers over 2,300 square feet of finished living space across three levels, plus a private roof deck, landscaped rear yard, and off-street parking. Throughout the home, original architectural details-including exposed brick, restored millwork, the original banister and newel post, and custom-crafted spindles extending to the upper levels-have been carefully preserved and integrated into a sophisticated modern renovation. The light-filled main level features 10-foot ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, integrated BluOS audio, and a dramatic NanaWall glass system that opens the entire rear facade to the yard, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. Hidden screens disappear into the walls, allowing the home to remain open to the outdoors while maintaining comfort throughout the warmer months. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a true retreat, complete with a gas fireplace and spa-inspired bath with heated floors. Two additional bedrooms and a second heated-floor bathroom complete the upper level, while natural light pours into the home throughout the day. One of the property's most compelling features is the fully finished lower level. With its own private entrance, full kitchen, bedroom, bath, laundry, living area, and substantial storage space, the lower level offers exceptional flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, work-from-home needs, or those seeking the possibility of supplemental income. At the same time, it remains seamlessly connected to the main residence, allowing owners to adapt the space to their changing needs over time. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A private roof deck-an uncommon feature on French Street-provides additional entertaining space, while the hardscaped rear yard is enclosed by a custom Brazilian Walnut fence. Rear parking includes a dedicated Level 2 EV charger. The home is also designed for modern efficiency and convenience, featuring solar panels that generate annual SREC income and meaningful utility savings, filtered drinking water at the kitchen sink, integrated SimpliSafe security, extensive storage, and a backyard shed. Located directly across from a charming pocket park and just moments from Shaw and 14th Street's acclaimed restaurants, neighborhood gathering spots, Metro access, and downtown Washington, 934 French Street NW presents a rare opportunity to own a truly customized home on one of the city's most sought-after residential streets.
