Welcome to this historic, sun-drenched penthouse at 1717 Lamont Street NW! One of just four residences in this boutique condominium, Unit D spans two floors and lives like a charming European retreat in the heart of Mount Pleasant. Upon entering, a grand foyer with 10-foot ceilings welcomes you home, featuring original ornate millwork along the staircase banister. The main level offers an expansive living room framed by two oversized south-facing windows, filling the space with natural light throughout the day. Generously proportioned, the room can be enjoyed as one grand living space or thoughtfully divided to create a home office, reading nook, fitness area, or even space for a baby grand piano! Upstairs, a bright, open-concept kitchen and dining area offers the perfect setting for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features white quartz countertops, a breakfast bar, and stainless steel appliances, while a built-in credenza provides additional storage and character. Two oversized window nooks create inviting spots for a chaise lounge, reading area, or small desk. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms occupy the rear of the upper level. The spacious primary bedroom comfortably accommodates a king-sized bed and features two generous closets and a modern en-suite bath with dual vanities. The secondary bedroom, also with its own en-suite bath, boasts striking views of the National Cathedral through two of its four windows and comfortably fits a queen-sized bed, dresser, and additional furnishings. Throughout the home, original heart-of-pine floors, a large wood-burning fireplace, windows on three exposures, and two skylights create a bright, inviting atmosphere filled with historic character and architectural charm.
