The Collection at R Street, a rare residential enclave that includes a collection of condominiums and townhomes on a tree-lined street in the heart of Shaw, is nearly sold out. Just one condominium—a penthouse loft in the development’s renovated, historic schoolhouse—and one four-level townhome condominium remain.
Both homes are available to tour by appointment. For more information, visit The Collection at R Street here or contact Urban Pace Sales Manager Isabella Schnider at Isabella.Schnider@urbanpace.com or 301-873-5600.
At the heart of The Collection at R Street is the historic 19th century landmark Morse Schoolhouse, built in the Georgian Revival style with expansive interiors and enormous windows. The school was converted into twelve oversized residences that feature original architectural details like exposed beams and brick, and historic transom windows.
"Living in this former schoolhouse feels like stepping into a piece of history—with a modern twist," says a current resident. "I love how each condo nods to the building's past with blackboards and original wood details. I have lived in Shaw, the heart of DC, for a decade. I was excited to find this home. It feels like a hidden gem in the neighborhood I love."
The available penthouse residence includes two bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, and a den. It also features soaring 30-foot ceilings, an impressive outdoor terrace, private parking and an expansive attic space that can be used for storage.
The townhouse condominium includes three bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms and spans more than 2,100 square feet. The home also boasts a great deal of private outdoor space: a fenced-in yard, a flagstone patio and a rooftop terrace with a wet bar.
Finishes for both residences include white oak hardwood flooring, solid core interior doors and LED lighting and pendant lighting throughout. Kitchens boast quartz islands and countertops, soft-close cabinetry, and Bosch or Thermador stainless steel appliances. All of the homes also include a full-size LG washer and dryer, and a Nest x Yale touchscreen front entry lock.
The Collection at R Street is located on R Street NW, between 5th Street and New Jersey Avenue, in the heart of Shaw and close to Bloomingdale, U Street and Logan Circle. Neighborhood spots include Dacha Beer Garden, Compass Coffee, Zepplin, Big Bear Café, Right Proper Brewing Company and many more. The property is also located just a few blocks from the Shaw-Howard University Metro station and Giant Food.
The penthouse condominium is selling for $1.249 million, while the townhome is priced at $1.225 million. For more information or to make an appointment to tour the remaining residences, visit The Collection at R Street here or contact Isabella Schnider at Isabella.Schnider@urbanpace.com or 301-873-5600.
