An incredible opportunity to purchase a luxury 2BR/2BA penthouse loft apartment with a private rooftop terrace and balcony on one of DCs most coveted streets! There are very few apartments in DC like this one. The large Victorian brownstone apartment building has been reimagined and the top floor is converted into two penthouse apartments with soaring loft style ceilings and large roof top decks. PH7 preserves the open floor plan in the living area, and a dramatic spiral staircase to the roof deck creates a vibe more often associated with New York lofts. But the view is very DC. Five large original windows facing south look out over trees and the charming townhouse roof tops of Dupont Circle. The light flooding the unit is gorgeous and a dream for plant lovers. The uniquely Washingtonian views continue on the roof deck. You can see the tip of the Washington Monument to the south and the view of the fireworks over the Mall on Fourth of July is spectacular. The deck is large enough for lounge furniture and a separate dining area, making this a fabulous spot for entertaining. In a city where apartments with private outdoor space are rare, this unit has the luxury of having two of those. The large main bedroom, conveniently set at the end of a long hallway providing privacy and quiet, features its own breakfast balcony with morning and evening sun. Ample closet space and a spacious en-suite bathroom add to the comfort. The second bedroom is also quiet and next to the laundry unit and the second bathroom which has a bathtub. Updates to the unit include the HVAC system and brand new flooring all through the apartment. The building is pet friendly and the dog park at the end of street, on Swann and 17th St, is a social hub for the neighborhood. This block of the coveted Swann Street only has one-way traffic (with convenient parking on both sides of the street) which makes this a quiet spot tucked away in the centre of a triangle formed by the 14th Street shopping and dining, the 17th Street restaurant area and the bustle of U Street and Adams Morgan. And the Dupont Circle Metro stop, Trader Joe's and Whole Foods are just blocks away.
