Description of 1212 4th St, Washington, DC 20001
Listing details for 1212 4th St, Washington, DC 20001 : Unit 07 at The Residences on 4th lives like a townhouse. Spanning two full levels and just over 2,000 square feet, with a sprawling private patio measuring over 260 square feet off the upper level, this is a home that gives you everything a townhouse offers without sacrificing the ease and security of a boutique condominium. That patio is a true outdoor room, large enough for a dining table, lounge seating, and container plantings, with the kind of privacy and scale that is genuinely rare in DC condominium living. Set within an adaptive reuse building that honors its historic streetfront while delivering entirely modern living behind it, the home offers a sense of place and permanence that new construction rarely achieves. Concrete deck construction means you will never hear a neighbor, a luxury almost unheard of in a building of this scale.
The kitchen alone sets this home apart. Townhouse-sized in both footprint and ambition, it is outfitted with Café line appliances, quartz countertops, and sophisticated sage cabinetry paired with a clean white tile backsplash. The herringbone hardwood floors carry through the entire main level, where the living and dining areas flow together with remarkable ease and light. Upstairs, two generous bedrooms are joined by a loft space that functions beautifully as a third bedroom, home office, or den. The bathrooms are finished with hexagonal tile, brushed gold hardware, glass-enclosed showers with marble-look surrounds, and richly colored vanities that feel genuinely custom. Elevated door hardware and considered details throughout signal that nothing here was an afterthought. Seven secure parking spaces with gated rear entry complete the offering.
And then there is the location. Situated in Shaw on the border of Logan Circle, two of Washington’s most celebrated and walkable neighborhoods, this address puts you steps from some of the city’s most acclaimed dining, including Causa and Amazonia, home to the 2025 James Beard Award winner for Best Chef Mid-Atlantic, as well as neighborhood favorites like Tiger Fork, Nina May, and The Dabney. The Mount Vernon Square Metro is just four blocks away. The energy of 14th Street, the green spaces of Logan Circle, and the cultural richness of a neighborhood that gave the world Duke Ellington are all yours on foot. If you have been searching for the warmth and scale of a townhouse with the simplicity of condominium living in the heart of one of DC’s best neighborhoods, Unit 07 is your answer.
