1401 R St NW

There is no better location in DC! Ideally situated in the Northern Exchange building - one of DC's only true loft residential buildings. Exposed brick, expansive windows that flood the space with light, amazing high ceilings, beautiful gourmet kitchen with Bosch appliances, ample cabinets, modern bathroom, loft bedroom with office nook and walk-in closet... Originally built in 1903 for the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company, was the main switching station for Northwest and Northeast DC. Renovated and restored in 2012 by PN Hoffman, today the boutique building features 36 residences including a rooftop entertainment lounge outfitted with a wet bar and expansive terrace with grill, dining and lounge seating. I was the first owner in this 2013 PN Hoffman development. When I walked through every single unit prior to buying, the developer told me THIS was his favorite unit. It is particularly unique, with an L-shaped stairwell that provides much greater convenience and added storage space both below and a special added storage space in the loft area -- making it as he called "much more utilitarian because the stairs do not take away from the center living space in a way that they do in all other units." I also noticed after living here for 10+ years that the location of this unit inside the building was also wonderful due to it's proximity to the back stairway (giving you double entry-way into the building) and a distance from the retail space where noise doesn't travel. The unit features ceiling heights of up to 15 feet as well as original exposed brick walls. Premium finishes include Bosch stainless steel appliances in a sleek kitchens as well as Porcelanosa tile in the baths. I also added high-end motorized blinds from the shade store with both transparent and black-out materials as well as a marble kitchen island that can stay with the unit or be removed if undesired. Building amenities include a modern lobby, secure bike room, rooftop deck with outdoor grill and expansive city views. RedLight Bar on the first floor. Within walking distance of the U Street corridor, McPhearson Square and Dupont Circle Metro Stations (Red, Blue/Orange, and Green/Yellow) as well as other Logan Circle attractions. Flexible on lease terms. Pets allowed, dogs preferred :) Available as early as March 1st. Rent directly from owner with no hassle/pets OK. Call or text Nick. We are flexible on terms.
