Description
1325 21st NW is a stunning, boutique, red brick Victorian originally constructed in 1892, just before the turn of the century, and recently reimagined as bespoke residences. Rising above a verdant stretch just steps from Dupont Circle, it is the epitome of tailored urban living.
At the apex of this rare offering is Unit 301, a two-bedroom penthouse spanning a generous 1,223 square feet with an additional 260-square-foot private rooftop terrace. Fully renovated in 2019, the residence is a seamless combination of modern luxuries and historic character. The entrance opens into the main living area, a generous space spanning a full 30 feet in length. Soaring ceilings and arched windows create an ethereal sensation, further enhanced by tall baseboards, elaborate picture moldings and paneling, and five-inch hardwood floors.
Kohler, RH, and Baldwin fixtures and hardware throughout the home are a testament to the no-expenses-spared quality employed, contrasting with modern conveniences such as a sleek Iotty lighting system and a Nest suite of fixtures. The open kitchen is a chef's dream, with professional Thermador appliances as well as stunning Calacatta Gold countertops, a peninsula waterfall, and a full-height bookmatched slab backsplash.
The primary suite, tucked away at the rear of the unit, is ample in scale. Its ensuite bath is clad in marble, featuring a double vanity and a walk-in glass shower. An adjacent walk-in closet offers generous storage space. The second bedroom also features a private walk-in closet and has a dedicated full bath in the hall, appointed with equally stunning marble finishes and fixtures. A step-in laundry area outfitted with full-size Electrolux laundry machines rounds out the living space.
A spiral staircase off the second bedroom leads up to the Trex roof deck, complete with a top-of-the-line pellet-style grill. Ideal for al fresco entertaining on warm summer nights, the space offers sweeping views of the skyline. An ADT system conveys with the home, as do sumptuous custom drapes throughout, a designated parking space, and two outdoor locking storage sheds to greatly enhance both utility and peace of mind. A comparatively low monthly condo fee covers both water and gas utilities.
Less than two blocks from Dupont Circle and mere minutes from both the West End and Georgetown, the location is truly unparalleled. Offering a unique blend of livability, style, and character, Unit 301 at 1325 21st Street NW is a perfect piece of Washington history, reimagined for modern living.
