Do your creative pursuits energize you?
After a long few days in NYC, I felt too exhausted to look at DC real estate. So instead I binged Netflix and actually ended up feeling…worse. Sunday morning I opened up my laptop and dove into the MLS. The next hour flew by as I was reminded that I love DC real estate. This creative outlet doesn’t drain my energy– it excites me!
Starting the week off feeling grateful for DC, real estate, and my little corner of the internet.
Rarely will you find a lifestyle opportunity such as this; a three-level loft residence in the heart of the vibrant U Street Corridor. The handsome boutique condominium with just 14 units was renovated in 2016, and this stunning two bedroom, 2.5-bath unit has been further upgraded since that time. With 1,610 square feet of living space and industrial-chic finishes throughout, this modern triplex is a showstopper! Entering, you’ll be greeted by new white oak herringbone hardwood floors at the main level. With 18-foot soaring ceilings and two stories of oversized windows, the Great Room concept is flooded with natural light. A stylish wall-mounted contemporary gas fireplace has been recently redone. Hanging globe lights lend to the dramatic ambience, and a main level powder room with a wall-mounted vessel sink adds to the convenience for all. Cooking will be a joy with an open Euro-style kitchen set into a single wall. Features include caesarstone counters and island, renovated black matte soft-close cabinetry, a matching Waterstone faucet, panelized Bosch appliances, an under-sink water filtration system, and Phillips Hue under-cabinet lighting. A unique staircase system is an integral part of the design, with spiral stairs winding up to the loft, while a wider set of floating iron and wood stairs leads to the third floor private quarters. The loft with its hardwood floors overlooks the main living area below, and is perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or as a work-from-home space with additional storage at one end. There are two primary bedroom suites at the top, each with two windows, a huge walk-in closet, and an overhead fan. The owner’s suite bedroom has automatic WiFi controlled blackout shades. One en-suite has a combination soaking tub and shower, while the master en-suite has a twin-sink vanity, a large frameless shower, and a heated Japanese bidet. The many extras include tons of storage space, an in-unit washer and dryer and skylights in each bath as well as the landing. Smart home features include Nest thermostat, Lutron WiFi controls for main level lights and August WiFi smart lock. The building has a fenced-in yard, which is great if you have a dog in the city, as well as seating and grilling. All this and an amazing location, just two blocks from Whole Foods! Living in the U Street Corridor Standing at the intersection of 11th and W Streets, the Lofts at 1111 W are ideally located in the heart of the scintillating U Street Corridor, with a Walk Score of 99 out of 100. Surrounding restaurants include Maydan, Izakaya Seki, Florida Avenue Grill, and Busboys and Poets. Live entertainment also abounds, with the legendary Howard Theatre, the 9:30 Club, the DC9 Nightclub, Joho Restaurant and Bar, and more. The 14th & U Farmers’ Market is perfect for foodie adventures on Saturday mornings, and Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s will help keep your gourmet kitchen stocked. While you’ll have your own parking, there is also nearby public transit with the U Street Metro just a few blocks away, providing Green and Yellow Line service. The U Street Corridor has long been a mecca for creative culture. Centrally located and convenient to Downtown DC and other surrounding communities, this nine-block stretch of urban energy and hipster vibes continues to evolve and impress.
