Welcome to 2419 1st Street NW, Unit 2, an extraordinary three-bedroom, three-bath penthouse residence where the timeless character of historic Bloomingdale meets contemporary design.
Set across three levels within a circa-1905 Victorian row house, this approximately 1,902-square-foot home offers an unexpected sense of scale and architectural interest. Soaring ceilings, expansive windows, rich Brazilian cherry floors, and loft-inspired interiors create an atmosphere that feels both dramatic and inviting. Natural light moves effortlessly throughout the home, highlighting thoughtful details at every turn.
At the heart of the residence is a beautifully appointed kitchen designed as much for entertaining as for everyday living. Two oversized islands anchor the space, complemented by sleek Poggenpohl cabinetry and an impressive collection of professional-grade appliances, including a Miele steam/convection oven, Wolf oven, secondary Miele steam / convection oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, built-in Miele espresso machine, two Bosch dishwashers, and a Gaggenau gas/electric cooktop. The result is a kitchen that balances striking design with exceptional functionality. A chef would feel at home here.
The open-concept main level flows naturally between the kitchen, dining, and living areas, creating a welcoming setting for gatherings both large and intimate. An integrated Sonos in-ceiling sound system adds another layer of sophistication, providing a seamless soundtrack for everything from relaxed evenings at home to lively dinner parties. A generously sized bedroom and full bath complete this level, with oversized windows framing peaceful views of the surrounding greenery and McMillan Reservoir.
Upstairs, the expansive primary suite offers a beautiful contrast of scale and serenity. Oversized windows fill the space with natural light, while a private balcony provides an inviting outdoor escape. The ensuite bath is thoughtfully designed with a multi-head waterfall shower, oversized soaking tub, and separate water closet. A second bedroom on this level features its own ensuite bath, where contemporary glass-enclosed elements lend a distinctive architectural touch.
The third level introduces one of the home's most compelling features: a private rooftop terrace accompanied by a secondary, fully equipped kitchen. Designed for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining, this remarkable space offers sweeping views across Washington, DC, including the U.S. Capitol and Washington Monument. From an intimate dinner outdoors to an evening spent watching the city lights emerge, the rooftop offers an entirely different perspective on life in the District.
2149 1st Street NW Unit 2 has been thoughtfully cared for, with many recent improvements and upgrades, including, but not limited to the roll-up parking gate, a newly installed Carrier HVAC system, and a freshly recoated roof.
Beyond the residence, Bloomingdale offers an appealing mix of historic charm, neighborhood favorites, and everyday convenience. Start the morning with coffee at Big Bear Café or a pastry at Sylvan Café, enjoy dinner at the acclaimed Red Hen, or meet friends for drinks at Boundary Stone. For an active afternoon, explore the neighborhood's tree-lined streets, unwind in the tucked-away Crispus Attucks Park, or take advantage of the nearby Reservoir District Recreation Center, with its indoor pool and fitness facilities. The Metropolitan Branch Trail offers another way to enjoy the outdoors, while the Bloomingdale Farmers Market brings fresh, local finds to the neighborhood. It's a setting where excellent dining, outdoor recreation, and the energy of Washington, DC, come together with a local feel.
Architecturally distinctive, thoughtfully updated, and designed for exceptional indoor-outdoor living, 2419 1st Street NW Unit 2 offers a compelling combination of historic character, contemporary luxury, and panoramic city views in the heart of Bloomingdale.
