Welcome to The Embassy, an architectural jewel of the 16th Street corridor. This rare Art Deco residence stands out with its restrained limestone facade, accented by striking Gothic flourishes, from elegant arches and quatrefoils to intricate pinnacle frieze details. It’s a building that commands attention while maintaining an air of timeless sophistication. Positioned on a coveted corner, this two-bedroom residence is bathed in natural light thanks to its prime south-eastern exposure. The interior serves as a masterclass in period charm, featuring pristine wood floors with classic inlay borders and elegant picture molding that adds depth and character to every room. The bathroom has been thoughtfully updated to meet modern standards, though great care was taken to meticulously preserve its original historic soul. The location is truly unbeatable, sitting at the vibrant crossroads of Mount Pleasant, Adams Morgan, and Columbia Heights. You’ll have the very best of the city right outside your door, from an incredible array of acclaimed restaurants and eclectic boutiques to the energy of local nightlife. Navigating the District is a breeze with easy access to multiple bus lines and the Metro nearby, making your morning commute or weekend exploration effortless. Beyond the unit, residents enjoy a suite of amenities designed for an active urban lifestyle, including a well-equipped gym, dedicated bike storage, and additional storage space. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of storied architecture that perfectly balances vintage elegance with contemporary comfort. The sellers are offering a $5,000 closing credit to apply to a washer and dryer installation.
