Welcome to 1631 16th Street NW #3, an extraordinary two-level penthouse condominium offering more than 1,550 square feet of living space, 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, an expansive 540+ square-foot private terrace, and coveted garage parking in the heart of Logan & Dupont. Set within a distinguished circa-1885 Victorian residence along one of Washington, D.C.'s most beautiful residential streets, this exceptional home blends historic architectural character, soaring ceilings, and remarkable outdoor living with the convenience of a premier location. Steeped in Washington history, the residence was once home to Theodore Wilson, who served as Chief Constructor of the United States Navy and designed by architect Emil S. Friedrich, adding another layer of architectural significance to this distinctive residence. A welcoming entry foyer leads upstairs to the spectacular main living level, where soaring vaulted ceilings, two magnificent skylights, and expansive windows fill the interiors with natural light throughout the day. The gracious open-concept living and dining areas offer exceptional proportions for entertaining and are anchored by a gas fireplace and floor-to-ceiling doors and windows. The adjoining chef's kitchen is appointed with quartz countertops, extensive cabinetry, a professional-grade stainless steel appliance suite including Sub-Zero refrigerator, Bosch oven and stove-top, and a commercial-style hood. The true showstopper is the expansive private terrace spanning more than 540 square feet, accessed directly from the living area. This remarkable outdoor retreat offers an exceptional extension of the home, with ample room for outdoor dining, lounge seating, entertaining, or simply enjoying a quiet evening surrounded by the picturesque rooftops and historic architecture of Logan and Dupont. Also on the main living level, a generously proportioned guest bedroom features beautiful bay windows overlooking 16th Street NW, abundant natural light, and excellent flexibility for guests or a dedicated home office. A beautifully renovated full bath with contemporary finishes completes this level. An elegant original staircase, rich with preserved original detail and topped by a third skylight, leads to to the upper-level primary suite. Overlooking the charming streetscape of 16th Street, the spacious bedroom enjoys rich afternoon sun, generous closet space, and direct access to a private balcony. The spa-inspired en-suite bath features a double vanity, glass-enclosed shower, and refined finishes, creating a peaceful retreat above the city. Adding to the home's exceptional appeal is a private garage parking space at the rear of the property, providing valuable convenience and additional storage in one of Washington's most sought-after neighborhoods. Perfectly positioned in the heart of Logan and Dupont, 1631 16th Street NW #3 offers the ideal combination of historic residential charm and exceptional walkability. The vibrant 14th Street Corridor, Logan Circle, Dupont Circle Metro, and downtown Washington, D.C. are all within easy reach, placing acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping, cafés, fitness studios, grocery stores, nightlife, and cultural destinations just moments from your door.
