About this home
Perched on the top floor and spanning nearly 2,400 square feet, this 2BR + Den residence is defined by extraordinary panoramic views — the Cathedral in full, iconic profile, the city skyline, the Potomac River, and miles beyond.
Originally configured as two separate two-bedroom cooperative units, the residence has been seamlessly combined to create a gracious, beautifully flowing home. One of only six residences on the top floor, it enjoys an uncommon level of privacy.
The oversized gourmet kitchen rivals those found in many single-family homes, with generous cabinetry, extensive counter space, a center island, and a direct, perfectly framed view of the Cathedral while you cook. A convenient service entrance to the exterior hall allows for discreet grocery delivery and easy trash removal. Just off the foyer, a substantial walk-in coat closet and mudroom provide exceptional everyday storage and organization.
Beyond the entry, generous living and dining rooms are framed by expansive windows and sliding doors to the balcony, drawing your eye outward to the views. The proportions give the rooms a natural elegance, and the double-length balcony extends the living space with a direct connection to the skyline and Cathedral beyond.
The primary suite occupies its own private wing, capturing sweeping south and east exposures. Wake each morning to Cathedral views and the river shimmering in the distance. A spacious sitting room with balcony access offers a retreat — ideal as a dressing room, reading lounge, or private sanctuary. Dual renovated primary baths — one with a shower and one with a tub — add both comfort and flexibility.
At the opposite end of the residence, a den with balcony access makes an ideal home office or escape. A large corner second bedroom enjoys stunning views and is complemented by a renovated full bath, while a gracious powder room serves guests. In-unit laundry adds further convenience.
Newly refinished hardwood floors run throughout, enhancing the light-filled interiors.
Monthly co-op fees include operating costs, utilities (excluding cable and internet), property taxes, reserves, and an oversized private storage room. Residents enjoy ample free outdoor parking, with optional indoor garage parking available. Building amenities include a fitness room, library, and laundry facilities.
The building sits within a small, well-managed cooperative community on 15 park-like acres shared with The Westchester, where a grocery store, hair salon, and dry cleaners are just steps away.
Homes offering this combination of scale, flexibility, top-floor privacy, and truly unforgettable views rarely come to market.
A 20% minimum down payment is required. Lenders must have a recognition agreement with the cooperative.
This residence is currently configured as two legally separate two-bedroom cooperative units that have been seamlessly combined. The units may be purchased separately; however, any future physical re-separation would be subject to cooperative board approval and compliance with building requirements.
