UNDER CONTRACT - OPEN CANCELED!! This 558 square foot (per third party) sun-soaked studio lives larger than most one-bedroom units. This east facing unit is perched on the 5th floor of the stately and historic Embassy Condominium, a beautiful example of beaux arts architecture located on tree-lined Harvard Street just west of 16th Street NW in the heart of the vibrant Mount Pleasant neighborhood. With shopping, outstanding dining, multiple transportation options, including the Columbia Heights metro station two blocks away, Rock Creek Park and the National Zoo just outside the door, this home's location is a downtown dwellers' delight.
The building's grand lobby is ordained with stunning wood paneling and terrazzo tile flooring, giving all who enter a taste of timeless, classic style. Upon entering Unit 510, you'll immediately notice the craftmanship of the pristine original hardwood floors with inlay, and the elegant details such as 6-inch baseboards, picture moldings, and crown moldings that draw your eye up to the nine-foot ceilings. The current owner has opened and modified the overall space, creating an ideal open layout with space for a living room, a sleeping area, a separate office space or small dining area and an open kitchen with butcher block topped breakfast bar. The efficient kitchen boasts a generous amount of wood cabinetry, creating excellent storage, while featuring stainless steel appliances throughout. A large, customized walk-in closet, and updated tiled bath round out the home. Condo Association fees in this pet-friendly building are $473.00 per month and cover modern amenities such as a fitness room, a common laundry room, a secure bike storage room, and a resident library, as well as all the traditional services and maintenance that make condo living so attractive.
