This dazzling,1,700 square foot, duplex penthouse condominium in the heart of the exciting U St corridor offers everything the modern city-dweller desires. This open plan, sun-drenched, home features two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a dramatic double-height living room, a loft, a separate den, a modern gourmet kitchen, two outdoor spaces, parking and extra storage. Located 2 blocks north of dynamic U Street - with dozens of DC's best restaurants, bars and shops and 2 blocks east of DC's newest Whole Foods, this unit is uniquely located for the best of city life.

Walk in the front door to the open, double-height living room/dining room with 20' windows looking out over your private balcony and treetop views over the city. The kitchen features a Subzero refrigerator and a new JennAir gas stove & microwave. There are lots of cabinets for storage and plenty of prep-space on the modern, concrete countertops. There is also a new sink and a touchless Delta kitchen faucet.

The main floor also features the two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The large primary bedroom has east-facing windows and plenty of space. Several large closets lead to a lavish private bathroom clad in marble with a double-sink vanity with lots of storage, and a spa-like walk in shower big enough for two. The second bedroom also enjoys eastern views and there is a full bathroom just next door in the hall. Just in front of the living room and dining room is the first of two outdoor spaces. This balcony faces west and has been recently upgraded with IPE hardwood decks.

As you walk upstairs you'll find the large open loft overlooking the main floor. The loft is large enough for an office and your Peloton or yoga mats, or a movie room, or a family room/play room. In addition to the loft is another separate den which is perfect for your second at-home office, or a nursery. On this floor, accessed at the back of the loft, is an enormous 15'x19' private roof deck. This deck faces east and is large enough for lavish entertaining.

The Murano Condominium enjoys a unique and very convenient location. While only 1/10th of a mile from the new Whole Foods and 2/10ths of a mile to the legendary 9:30 Club, it sits on a quiet, tree-lined block, and offers the convenience of an assigned parking space. The U Street/African-American Civil War Memorial Metro Station is 1/10th of a mile away. Landmark's Atlantic Plumbing Cinema, a CVS, & Busboys & Poets are all within a few blocks. The Murano Condominium sits at the center of DC's most hip, convenient and classic establishments.

This is truly a unique opportunity to own a special home in the heart of DC's most vibrant neighborhood. While it promises an exciting and comfortable life now, it will also be a solid investment for your future.
