About This Home

As of April 2025

Welcome to an exquisite, one-of-a-kind penthouse loft in the Historic Chinese Embassy condominium. The impressive facade of this boutique building greets you upon arrival and leads to a beautiful and welcoming lobby.

With a walk score of 98, you’ll have effortless access to a vibrant array of museums, restaurants, shops, boutiques, and professional services in Kalorama, Adams Morgan, DuPont, U Street, and downtown. Leave your car in your deeded parking space and enjoy the convenience of city living on foot.

This one-bedroom, one-bath loft has been masterfully transformed under the vision of a professional designer, achieving a level of finish rarely seen. No expense of time, cost, or expertise has been spared in creating this bright and luxurious living environment.

Burnished cherry wood flooring, 16-foot lighted acid-etched glass panels, a light-filled loft office with custom shelving and a buffalo leather-wrapped surround, a wood-burning fireplace, dramatic custom lighting, and thoughtfully designed built-ins with leather pulls are just a few of the exquisite details that make this home truly unique and inviting.

(Please see the separate list of all improvements.)

The open-profile kitchen boasts top-of-the-line custom cabinetry, a Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, a Bosch cooktop, a wall oven, a microwave, a dishwasher, and a new Asko washer and dryer. The glass canopy and stainless Zephyr hood add architectural interest and elevate the kitchen’s elegance.

The spacious, light-filled bedroom is complemented by a well-designed custom closet system. From there, step into a stunning luxury bathroom featuring custom Porcelanosa tile, warm radiant floors, and an oversized niche in the beautifully tiled walk-in shower.

And there’s more!

Ascend the dramatic, lighted cherry wood staircase to a stylish lofted office with cork flooring and a built-in buffalo leather and glass desk. Continue further to your private roof terrace, where welded glass panels frame breathtaking views.

***Per floor plan 1,336 finished square feet
