Tucked in one of DC's most vibrant and walkable neighborhoods, this artist-owned penthouse feels more like a hidden gem than a typical city condo. After climbing two flights of stairs, you're welcomed into a thoughtfully designed top-floor space filled with character, warmth, and natural light. Ornate mirrors, calming original murals, soft mood lighting, and hand-selected finishes give the home an unmistakably romantic Parisian feel, while the layout itself is comfortable, functional, and easy to settle into from day one. The 550-square-foot single-story condo was designed to make the most of every inch without ever feeling crowded. Hardwood floors run throughout the home, connecting the kitchen, dining, and living areas into an inviting space. The kitchen features sleek white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, including a full-size refrigerator, stove, microwave, dishwasher, and all the essential cooking utensils. Just beside it, the dining area comfortably seats four, making weeknight dinners, remote work lunches, or casual evenings feel effortless. The living room blends style and comfort beautifully, anchored by a chic seating area and a gallery-style art wall that gives the home its creative energy. French doors open directly onto the condo's most memorable feature: a completely private roof deck that truly extends the living space outdoors. With lounge seating, outdoor dining for four, and mosquito-netted windows and doors that allow fresh air to flow through comfortably, it becomes the perfect setting for morning coffee, sunset dinners, or slow evenings under the city lights. The bedroom feels calm, elevated, and surprisingly quiet for such a central location. Sitting high above the street, it features three oversized windows that flood the room with natural light while keeping most city noise below. The queen bed is dressed with hotel-quality linens, and the chandelier-lit ceiling, hand-gilded, adds an unexpected layer of artistry and charm. A dedicated work desk makes the space equally suited for remote work, while the closet discreetly houses an in-suite washer and dryer for added convenience. The bathroom continues the home's luxurious feel with heated floors, a walk-in shower, an illuminated mirror, a Japanese-style toilet, and polished high-end finishes that make daily routines feel a little more indulgent. Utilities are included, pets are welcome with a non-refundable pet deposit of $250, and both on-street parking with a visitor's pass and optional off-street parking for a small vehicle are available. The condo comfortably accommodates up to two occupants and works beautifully for couples, solo renters, traveling professionals, or anyone looking for a stylish home base with personality and privacy. Living here also means being surrounded by some of Washington's most loved destinations. Safeway, Dupont Circle, Adams Morgan, Logan Circle, and the 14th Street NW Shopping & Dining District are all nearby, placing restaurants, cafes, boutiques, fitness studios, and nightlife within easy reach. Meridian Hill Park and Rock Creek Park offer green space and walking trails close to home, while cultural landmarks such as The Phillips Collection, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the National Mall, and the Smithsonian Museums are easily accessible. Howard University and George Washington University are nearby, along with major medical centers including Howard University Hospital, George Washington University Hospital, MedStar Washington Hospital Center, MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, and Sibley Memorial Hospital. The Washington Convention Center and YMCA, Anthony Bowen, also add to the convenience of this exceptionally central location. This is the kind of retreat that feels personal the moment you walk in: stylish without trying too hard, peaceful while still connected to the city's energy, and thoughtfully designed for everyday living. If you've been looking for a rental with soul, privacy, and a location that truly lets you experience the best of DC, this penthouse is ready to welcome you home.
