About This Property

A rare opportunity to own a masterfully reimagined residence within Washington's iconic Watergate. Occupying a prime position on one of Watergate South's highest floors, this extraordinary combined apartment seamlessly blends the building's celebrated architectural heritage with sophisticated mid-century modern design. Thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom with meticulous attention to detail, the residence showcases exquisite custom millwork, book-matched Okoume wood veneers, rich natural stone surfaces, bespoke lighting, and luxurious finishes throughout. Designed for both grand entertaining and comfortable daily living, the flowing floor plan embraces the Watergate's signature curved architecture, creating elegant, light-filled spaces connected by thoughtfully crafted transitional moments that pay homage to the original design while introducing a fresh contemporary vision. The gracious living and dining rooms frame breathtaking views of the Potomac River, Washington's monuments, and the city skyline, while the chef's kitchen offers an exceptional setting for both intimate gatherings and large-scale entertaining. The private quarters are equally impressive. A quiet study and library provide a sophisticated retreat, while the primary suite serves as a sanctuary of luxury with spectacular river views, custom-designed storage, and a remarkable semicircular spa bath inspired by the finest boutique hotels. The expansive dressing room rivals those found in the world's most exclusive residences. Throughout the home, extraordinary finishes and materials were commissioned from renowned artisans and makers, including PE Guerin, Heath Ceramics, and highly skilled local metalsmiths, gilders, and cabinetmakers. Rich textures, layered materials, and atmospheric tones create an interior that evokes the glamour of late twentieth-century design while remaining serene, timeless, and exceptionally livable. Widely recognized for its exceptional design and craftsmanship, this remarkable residence has been featured in leading international design publications, including Architectural Digest and Vogue Living. Located within one of Washington's most prestigious full-service cooperatives, residents enjoy 24-hour concierge service, security, beautifully maintained grounds, and unparalleled access to Georgetown, the Kennedy Center, the National Mall, and downtown Washington. Combining world-class design, iconic architecture, and an irreplaceable location, this is Watergate living at its absolute finest.
