Listed at $3,250,000, this exceptional home at the West End Residences at the Ritz-Carlton in Washington D.C. is a work of art! It is listed by The Bell Group at Beasley Real Estate.

Oh, yes, expect to see a few recognizable political faces in the building since it is home to some well-know lawmakers.

Wanting to combine comfort and versatility, the owner worked with architects Donald Lococo and Wayne Good to re-design the layout of the unit.

He wanted a light-filled open layout reminiscent of a New York loft space. Unit 5F also happens to be one of the largest floor plans in the building, which gave the architects and designers plenty to work with. To finish his design of the home, the owner enlisted designer Darryl Carter. A pivotal component of his overall design scheme were the floors, which are reclaimed barn wood purposely left rough and painted white, adding a “graceful yet casual base,” as he puts it.

Built in 2000, this 162-unit building is located on 23^rd Street NW between L and M streets in the West End district between Georgetown and DuPont Circle. Within walking distance is the newly renovated Georgetown Waterfront Park, the shopping district on M Street in Georgetown, a Whole Foods market, and a Trader Joe’s.
