Spectacular Adams Morgan and Capitol Hill Lofts currently on market

While much of DC is playing out on the Eastern Shore, there might not be a better time than the dog days of summer to fulfill your dreams of owning a stunning DC loft. These are the kind of places that make you say WOW the minute you walk in the door.

The DC loft movement started in the Adams Morgan neighborhood and over the years various developers have continually one-upped prior projects in their quest for the quintessential loft development. Many obsolete industrial-era Adams Morgan buildings have been re-born as luxury loft developments.

DC's most stunning loft currently on the market is a penthouse unit located at The Lofts of Adams Morgan. This 2-story loft features a 2 BR / 3 BA floor plan with 3,200 SF of living space. A 1,900 SF private rooftop deck with wonderful DC views is a party waiting to happen. Soaring ceilings, walls of glass, bamboo floors and industrial finishes further enhance this true loft unit currently listed for $1.995M.

Another stunning Adams Morgan penthouse loft is available at 1700 Kalorama Lofts. This 2 BR / 2 BA unit offers two-level living with an open floor plan. Two private outdoor terraces and garage parking for two cars round out eh luxury package at this unit currently listed for $1.175M.

Not to be outdone by Adams Morgan, a spectacular loft is available on Capitol Hill at the Landmark Lofts at Senate Square development. This 2 BR / 2 BA unit with a den and a private terrace was created by Abdo Development at the site of the former DC Children's Museum. Finishes are the ultimate in luxury in this loft currently listed for $1.125M.

The revitalization and overwhelming growth in popularity of DC's Capitol Hill neighborhood has spurred significant investment and redevelopment in this neighborhood.  Obsolete commercial buildings throughout Capitol Hill have been acquired and converted to upscale residential housing.

Anyone in the market for a luxury loft condo on Capitol Hill currently has options in two of the Hill's finest redevelopments:

Bryan School Lofts

Abdo Development project which converted long-vacant Bryan School into 20 luxury Tribecca-style lofts.  This 40,000 SF school building, which was constructed in 1909, features 13 ft ceilings and 10 ft tall windows. The location at 1315 Independence Ave SE is within walking distance of both Eastern Market and Lincon Park .  Currently at Bryan School Lofts, a 2 BR / 2BA unit with 2,404 SF is on the market for $1,197,777.

Landmark Lofts at Senate Square

Adbo Development project on Capitol Hill which converted the former Children's Museum into 44 luxury lofts.  This 130-year old building located at 215 I Street NE, has a prominent location in the emerging H Street Corridor.  Owners have access to all the Senate Square ammenities including the fitness center and rooftop swimming pool.  Currently at Landmark Lofts, a 2 BR / 2 BA unit with 2,146 SF is on the market for $1,174M

Sitting at the foot of the the Hopscotch Bridge on H Street NE is the Landmark Lofts at Senate Square development.  This 44-unit loft-style project is a great opening act in the redevelopment of the H Street Corridor.   Unfortunately, the housing downtown and the tightening of the capitol markets has stalled several other residential projects that were planned for the H Street Corridor.

Abdo Development has masterfully reworked the 130 year-old DC Children's Museum into an architecturally exciting and unique development.  There is nothing cookie-cutter about Landmark Lofts as each unit has its own unique floor plan.  Finishes include Wolf and Sub-Zero Appliances, hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, custom baths and designer lighting.

Landmark Lofts residents have access to the Senate Square amenities including  a fitness center, clubroom and rooftop swimming pool.  Private underground parking and bike storage are also available.

Currently, two units are available for sale at Landmark Lofts, a 1BR / 1BA with 1,350 SF for $659,900 and a 2BR / 2BA  with 1,250 SF for $779,900.  Here is a resource to view active Landmark Lofts listings.

The Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, DC is home to several developments offering loft-style condos.  The predominant style of these lofts is units in redeveloped obsolete buildings including schools, a church and phone company facility. 

In most cases these are not true SoHo-style industrial conversions made famous by loft scenes in movies like Flashdance, Fatal Attraction, Big Daddy or Unfaithful.  Lofts in DC tend to be "soft lofts" with many of the features of an industrial loft including high window and ceilings, exposed ducts and open floor plans.  Where our loft inventory differs is with more defined living spaces such as closed off bedrooms  and bathrooms and significantly more upscale finishes.  You could think of these soft loft units as "loftominiums."
