10Eleven.

In the urban home market, buyers are conditioned to compromise. This is particularly true in DC’s most popular neighborhoods. A new condominium development, however, is bucking that trend.

Shaw’s 71-unit 10Eleven, located at 1011 M Street NW (map), has successfully married modern and classic styles, location and space, and top quality, all at reasonable prices.

Sales for 10Eleven began late last year and the building is already 30 percent sold. Tours that showcase the property’s views and superior construction are available by appointment. The building will deliver this summer and includes one- and two-bedroom homes ranging in size from 520 to 1,500 square feet. Prices start in the high $300,000s.

Apart from a wide variety of floorplans, what sets 10Eleven apart design-wise is a partnership with renowned interior designer Darryl Carter. Carter’s minimalist style can be seen throughout the residences and all of the common spaces. High-end finishes include Carrara marble countertops, white oak hardwood floors, gas cooking ranges, hand crafted Italian tile backsplashes, Grohe fixtures and TOTO toilets.

Meanwhile, the exterior is a graceful combination of two design elements. Facing south, the façade is a classic, cast stone—an homage to the historic Shaw district; and facing west is an ultra-modern glass façade with floor-to-ceiling bay windows.

10Eleven is an amenity rich building with many common spaces, including a 1,250 square-foot rooftop terrace with bar seating and a gas fireplace; a lobby with curated artwork; a courtyard with an outdoor pergola and bar; and a lounge and library with a fireplace, floor-to-ceiling French doors and antique adornments. Other amenities include a concierge service, dog washing station and secure bicycle room. Private underground parking is available at an additional cost.

10Eleven sits at a convergence of downtown neighborhoods that gives its residents access to a large number of local amenities. The property is walking distance to five Metro stations, two blocks east of Mount Vernon Square and the Convention Center, three blocks south of Logan Circle, and two blocks north of City Center. Dozens of restaurants (Corduroy, Baby Wale), bars (Columbia Room), cafes (La Colombe), shops (City Center) and high-end gyms (VIDA) are close by.
