Welcome to 1435 4th Street SW #B310 at Riverside, a sophisticated waterfront residence where expansive interiors, private outdoor living, and the natural beauty of the Washington Channel come together in one of Southwest DC’s most coveted waterfront settings. A dramatic wall of glass draws the outdoors in, filling the residence with natural light and creating a beautiful connection to the mature tree canopy and water beyond. Step outside to the generously sized private balcony, recently renovated by the community, and take in direct views of the Washington Channel, lush greenery, and the riverfront promenade below. It’s an exceptionally peaceful setting that feels remarkably removed from the energy of the city. Inside, the home unfolds across an expansive, open-concept floor plan accented by classic wood parquet flooring. Originally configured as a one-bedroom, the bedroom wall was removed to create an airy, loft-like living environment with generous space for defined living, dining, entertaining, and sleeping areas. For those who prefer a traditional one-bedroom layout, the original configuration can easily be recreated. A substantial wall of cabinetry provides both architectural interest and valuable storage, complementing the home’s abundant closet space. The updated bathroom offers a clean, contemporary aesthetic with a glass-enclosed walk-in shower. Granite countertops and generous cabinetry complement the thoughtfully designed kitchen, which offers ample prep space while remaining discreetly positioned away from the primary living area.” Riverside residents enjoy an outdoor swimming pool, 24-hour concierge, and immediate access to the riverfront promenade, creating a lifestyle that feels equal parts urban and resort-like. And the location is hard to beat. The Wharf, Nationals Park, Audi Field, Metro, Safeway, waterfront dining, restaurants, bars, shopping, entertainment, and more are all within approximately a mile, putting some of the best of Southwest DC right at your fingertips. Yet inside B310, the city seems to fall away. Water views, mature trees, walls of glass, and a private balcony create an unexpectedly serene waterfront retreat in the heart of the District. For those seeking a home that feels connected to everything yet worlds away, this is the one you won’t want to miss.

$365,000
1 Beds ⋅ 1 Baths
Fully renovated from top to bottom, this light-filled one-bedroom residence at Harbour Square combines thoughtful design, exceptional storage, and one of Southwest Washington’s most distinctive residential settings. With approximately 777 square feet, 7 closets, and an open, spacious layout, N422 has been carefully updated for comfortable modern living. A wall of floor-to-ceiling glass fills the home with natural light and opens to a private balcony overlooking the Loggia Gardens and tranquil water garden. The renovated kitchen centers around a generous island with seating and abundant storage and features stainless steel appliances and a GE Profile induction range. An in-unit washer and dryer adds a convenience rarely found in older cooperative buildings. The marble bathroom features floor-to-ceiling finishes and a glass-enclosed shower. Additional upgrades include Lutron intelligent lighting, dual motorized window shades, and 3M sun-control window film—small luxuries that make a noticeable difference in everyday living. One of HARBOUR SQUARE'S greatest advantages is how much is included in the $1,257/month HOA fee. Unlike many condominium HOA fees, Harbour Square’s fee includes major expenses homeowners often pay separately, including property taxes, utilities, internet, cable television, water, sewer and trash, management, 24-hour services, capitol reserve, and onsite maintenance. When those costs are considered together, the monthly fee represents substantially more than building maintenance alone. Harbour Square offers much more than an apartment building. Its landscaped six-acre setting, expansive lawns, water gardens, walking paths, rooftop terraces, indoor swimming pool, fitness center, 24-hour gatehouse, and staffed front desk create a comfortable residential environment in the heart of the city. Residents who enjoy getting to know their neighbors will also find an active, friendly community and opportunities to take part in Harbour Square’s social life. And the location is hard to match. The Waterfront Metro is about a block away, as is The Wharf, with restaurants, shops, music venues, Arena and Anthem Stages, waterfront recreation, and water taxi service. Walk along the Washington Channel, head to the Smithsonian museums and National Mall, or continue on to the U.S. Capitol—all without giving up the quiet gardens and waterfront setting waiting at home. N422 offers a rare combination: a thoroughly renovated home, remarkable storage and thoughtful upgrades, an unusually comprehensive monthly fee, an engaged neighborhood community, and one of Washington’s most convenient waterfront locations.
