Situated on one of downtown Washington’s most storied blocks, 905 M Street NW is a rare convergence of history, high design, and urban sophistication. Originally constructed in 1865 and newly reimagined by the acclaimed Edith Gregson Interiors, this four-story Victorian rowhome has undergone a comprehensive transformation with significant, thoughtfully executed renovations and custom furnishings. The result is a residence that balances refined architectural character with everyday livability. The distinguished brick faade, accented by oversized Marvin windows and wrought iron detailing, makes a striking first impression. Behind the historic elevation lies a fully modern interior, where soaring ceilings, restored millwork, and wide-plank hickory flooring establish an elegant foundation. Thoughtful enhancements, including custom cabinetry, bespoke lighting, and layered finishes, are unified by a bold, contrasting palette that brings both warmth and an urban edge to the space. The ethereal main level is truly open concept, a sensation only amplified by 14-foot ceilings. Formal and informal living spaces coexist in harmony, subtly defined to accommodate both relaxed living and elegant entertaining. The living room centers on a sleek fireplace wall framed by contemporary built-ins, creating a striking backdrop for large-scale gatherings. The adjoining dining area flows seamlessly into the chef’s kitchen, a showpiece featuring honed black marble counters, an oversized island, an antique mirrored backsplash, and a full suite of Thermador appliances. A moody wet bar provides an elegant nook for displaying fine glassware and enhances the overall sophistication of the space. Ascending the restored grand staircase, the upper levels reveal three gracious bedroom suites, each with a custom walk-in closet and en-suite bath. The primary suite is indulgent, with soaring ceilings and full-length drapery that lends softness and drama, along with a cozy sitting area featuring a fireplace. The spa-inspired bath offers a rainfall shower, double vanity, and private water closet, all unified by a sleek, monochrome palette that evokes contemporary luxury. In contrast, the second suite, currently serving as a private office, is richly layered in deep blues, grass-cloth textures, and brass statement lighting. It includes a wall of custom built-ins designed by Gregson herself. The loft-level third suite features dramatic vaulted ceilings and a lavishly appointed private bath. The fully finished lower level offers versatility with a legal one-bedroom apartment complete with its own private entrance. Ideal as an income-producing rental, in-law suite, or au pair residence, this level is seamlessly integrated into the home’s overall design approach and adds flexibility without compromise. Modern systems include integrated surround sound, a multi-camera security system, and an energy-efficient tankless water heater, ensuring comfort, convenience, and peace of mind. Outdoor spaces include landscaped front and rear gardens, a roof deck with sweeping city views, and two secure off-street parking spaces enclosed by a roll-up gate. Located at the nexus of Shaw and Logan Circle, 905 M Street NW places you just steps from Blagden Alley’s celebrated restaurants, the boutiques of CityCenter, the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, and multiple public transit options. Offering historic charm reinterpreted through a modern lens, this home is a masterclass in design-forward living within Washington’s most dynamic urban setting.
