Perched above the treetops in the heart of Mount Pleasant, this rare two-level penthouse offers the perfect blend of privacy, natural light, and panoramic city views. Featuring three bedrooms, two bathrooms, hardwood floors, abundant storage, and low condo fees, the home lives like a private retreat while remaining just steps from the neighborhood’s beloved restaurants, cafés, parks, and shops.

The sun-drenched main level showcases an open-concept layout anchored by a gourmet kitchen with Carrara marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, a large island, and striking exposed brick that extends into the spacious living and dining areas. Oversized windows frame neighborhood views, while a gas fireplace adds warmth and character. Two bedrooms, a renovated full bath, and in-unit laundry complete this level.

Occupying the entire upper floor, the primary suite is a true sanctuary. Highlights include a second gas fireplace, a large walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bathroom with a double vanity and walk-in shower. Just beyond, an expansive private rooftop terrace with IPE decking delivers sweeping skyline views and exceptional outdoor living space for entertaining, dining, or enjoying the sunrise. A wet bar with beverage center and recessed speakers enhance the home’s entertainer-friendly design.

Located moments from Rock Creek Park, the National Zoo, and Mount Pleasant Street, this unique penthouse also offers access to two nearby rented parking spaces that can convey. A rare opportunity to own a distinctive home in one of DC’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
