Description:

Welcome to Washington, D.C.'s Most Unique Condo! Rarely offered for sale, this stunning penthouse unit—one of only four—comes to market after 40 years of ownership. Originally constructed as The Eckington School, this two-story home has been thoughtfully reimagined into a truly one-of-a-kind residence, offering a seamless blend of historic charm and modern living. This home also includes two industrial workspaces: one currently outfitted as a woodworking shop, and the other as a floral arrangement workshop complete with its own walk-in fridge. Still not impressed? Perhaps the original school safe, now transformed into a unique private office, will capture your imagination! This home is rich with stories, intrigue, and historic elements rarely found in residential properties. A true artist’s haven, the property is filled with character and unique details. Even the staircase is a masterpiece, structurally supported by a one-of-a-kind art installation by renowned artist John Van Alstine. Ascend to the upper level and discover a primary suite unlike any other. True to the home's character, this retreat features exposed brick, polished wood beams, multiple seating areas, and soaring ceilings—a sanctuary bathed in natural light and filled with soul. Two additional guest bedrooms are exceptionally spacious and equally full of charm. And don't miss the one-of-a-kind, hand-painted “castle room”—a childhood dream come to life! Step outside to the shared, private garden courtyard, where a brick patio surrounded by lush landscaping creates a serene oasis—ideal for al fresco dining, intimate gatherings, or peaceful afternoons. Ideally located in the heart of vibrant Eckington, this exceptional residence offers unparalleled access to some of D.C.’s most desirable destinations—including Ivy City, Union Market, premier parks, acclaimed dining, boutique shopping, and convenient public transit. Experience the perfect fusion of historic allure and urban sophistication in one of the city’s most dynamic neighborhoods. See the attached property highlights sheet for a complete list of updates.
