Description
A Museum-Quality Masterpiece of Scale and Style at DC's "Best Address"
Welcome to a residence that redefines urban grandeur. Nestled within the revered walls of The Colonnade, this rare, expansive corner home has been meticulously remodeled and reimagined for those who appreciate both vast proportions and quiet tranquility. Eschewing the standard condo feel for the atmosphere of a sprawling Parisian estate, this is a home designed for a life lived large.
The Great Room: An Unrivaled Social Canvas The heart of the home is the showstopping 23-foot living room--a space of such significant scale it serves as a private gallery for your life's collections. Soaring tray ceilings add a sense of architectural height, while "socially designed" custom bookshelves turn your library into an in-home museum. Sunlight streams through windows adorned with custom designer treatments, offering verdant, tree-filled views that make it hard to believe you're in the heart of the District. Step through the glass doors onto your oversized private balcony to enjoy the fresh spring air overlooking the manicured front gardens.
Culinary Elegance & Formal Dining The transition to the formal dining room is seamless and sophisticated. A host's dream, this space is anchored by bespoke designer cabinetry specifically crafted to showcase your finest china, crystal, and linens. From intimate holiday dinners to grand soirees, the flow of this home is effortless.
The Private Quarters: A Sanctuary of High Design The primary suite is a masterclass in serenity. Outfitted with premium blackout shades, it offers a total escape from the city hustle. The en-suite bath is a sensory experience, featuring the gold standard of luxury: Waterworks fixtures and Ann Sacks designer tile. A large walk-in closet provides ample storage, and for ultimate convenience, the large television conveys. For those needing flexibility, the generous den serves perfectly as a high-end home office or a spacious second bedroom, complemented by a stunning second full bath.
The Colonnade Lifestyle: Effortless & Elite Every practical detail has been attended to--from the updated windows and floors to the modern convectors. The ultimate luxury? All utilities are included in the fee, along with a dedicated garage parking space and private storage unit.
Beyond your front door, life at The Colonnade is a cultural experience. The recently renovated marble lobby, lit by crystal chandeliers, serves as the backdrop for intermittent concerts, lectures, and receptions. With a full suite of amenities--including a gym, pool, library, and salon--located just blocks from gourmet dining and the Metro bus, this is more than just a home. It is a "Best Address" masterpiece, perfected.
