Great New Listing in Historic Shaw So Close to O Street Market

I am so excited about our new listing at 1512 8th Street NW because it is right in the heart of Historic Shaw and literally a stones throw from the Giant and the exciting new development at the Historic O Street Market. Be sure to read below the recent Washington Business Journal article about the proposed restoration of the O Street Market and the new development slated for this area. It is so close to Logan and Dupont Circles too! Here is the thing, the place isn’t livable! Help us find the perfect person to buy this shell and make it the masterpiece it once was. The original woodwork and fireplaces and claw foot tub remain, and just need a loving renovator to bring this place back to life. Click HERE for pictures.
