1315 Naylor Court NWWashington, DC 20001

For the buyer who wants a home that reflects who they are..not someone else’s idea of who they should be, 1315 Naylor Court NW offers a rare lifestyle defined by authenticity, adaptability, and true creative freedom. Configured as two separately metered units with an attached multi-car garage, this converted 1899 horse stable delivers versatility and long-term value in the heart of Washington, DC.

Set on a quiet, historic alley in vibrant Shaw, the former carriage house presents a way of living that traditional condos and row homes simply cannot match. Thick masonry walls, exposed beams, original wood floors, and dramatic height create a tactile, honest environment that sparks ideas and invites both inspired work and effortless living. This is a home for those who thrive in spaces with history, texture, and soul.

Upstairs, the expansive loft level stretches nearly the full length of the building - sunlit, soaring, and open. Its scale allows for endless interpretations: a gallery-inspired living space, a fast-paced home office, a dramatic backdrop for entertaining, or a quiet sanctuary above the alley. Whether you want a home that energizes you or one that lets you slow down, the space empowers the life you choose to lead.

Downstairs a self-contained spacious apartment becomes whatever your life needs at the moment: an income-producing rental, a professional workspace, a creative studio, or a ground-level living suite with seamless, step-free access - perfect for multi-generational living.

A separate flex room off the gated courtyard expands those possibilities even further - whether a gym, music space, media room, or tucked-away office.

The integrated drive-in garage is climate-clean, equipped with 240V power, and able to accommodate several vehicles - a rare luxury in DC. It’s the perfect setting for EV charging, collector cars, bike and gear storage, or any passion project that requires industrial space.

Outside, a covered, gated courtyard offers an intimate extension of the home - perfect for morning tea, impromptu gatherings, or a quiet place to reset.

Step beyond the gate and you’re in one of DC’s most dynamic neighborhoods with Michelin-starred restaurants, energetic cafes, indie shops, and the Metro all just steps from your door.

With over 4,000 square feet across two independent units, 1315 Naylor Court is one of the city’s largest and most adaptable carriage houses. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it offers protected authenticity, long-term appreciation, and a lifestyle impossible to replicate in standard inventory.

This is a home for those who value substance over staging, individuality over conformity, and the freedom to live, work, create, and evolve on their own terms.
