About This Property

Terrific new spring price! Phenomenal, one-of-a kind residence completed in 2022 by local DC architect-developer in collaboration with the Commission of Fine Arts. Striking, yet unimposing in its elevation, the transformed structure reflects a masterful expansion of the original 1950’s rambler into a two-unit, side-by-side work of art. Welcome to Black Pearl Condominium, where a modest monthly fee takes care of insurance, water/sewer, lawn care, and reserves...so you don't have to! Charred wire-brushed Yakisugi cypress siding, rusted steel trim, and original red brick harmonize to create an exterior facade of rare beauty and longevity. Owing to the dramatic large-scale commercial windows, the interior is both awash with natural light and tranquil. Hevea distressed solid hardwood floors and live edge wood slab accents create a vintage aesthetic, whereas a custom steel spiral staircase and oversized stainless conical ship lights introduce industrial elements. Offering 4-5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and the coolest privately entered lower-level guest suite ever, this wonderful 4-level space offers endless versatility and a “detached home” feel. Highlights of the open main level include a dining area recessed into the box bay window featuring built-in ledge seating, a living area with a wood-burning fireplace and glass door access to the exterior, and a front-to-back kitchen with reclaimed wood breakfast bar, butcher block counter tops and a rear egress door, a discreet powder room, and a built-in shoe rack. Upstairs, the vibrant mid-level offers two spacious airy bedrooms -- each with their own beautiful en suite bathroom, and a wide hallway which adds functional space along with a stacked washer/dryer and storage area. The uppermost level boasts stunning tree top views, a primary suite with walk-in closet and a dual entry marble bathroom, a secondary bedroom/office which offers versatile flex space, and pull-down access to the large, railed rooftop. Downstairs, the lower level delivers gorgeous acid wash concrete flooring, open living and sleeping areas, a full bathroom with rustic wood-look ceramic wall tile, a delightful kitchenette with a second washer & dryer and a side entrance door. Wonderful outdoor offerings include a front paver patio, an enclosed rear tiered deck, and driveway parking. Located near the entrance to Rock Creek Park on a lush tree-lined street near quaint restaurants, Historic 16th Street Heights’ bus routes, and two metro stops, this is an urban oasis.
