Perched atop the sought-after 2020 Lofts, this exceptional two-level penthouse offers dramatic city views, expansive private outdoor space, and an unbeatable U Street location. Available September 15 for an initial 12-month lease. The home is offered either fully furnished or unfurnished, please state your preference with inquiry. This rare turnkey residence combines contemporary loft style with luxury finishes throughout. Featuring two bedrooms, two dens, and two-and-a-half bathrooms, the thoughtfully designed floor plan is filled with natural light from oversized windows framing sweeping skyline views. Soaring ceilings with exposed ductwork and wide-plank flooring create a sophisticated industrial aesthetic, while the open-concept kitchen is equally suited for everyday living and entertaining with quartz countertops, a glass tile backsplash, bar seating, and Miele and GE stainless steel appliances. Upstairs, a private rooftop terrace spans two corner tiers, providing panoramic views of the city and exceptional space for outdoor dining, lounging, and entertaining. The primary suite offers peaceful skyline views, a generous walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath featuring a Japanese soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, custom tilework, and designer finishes. A second en suite bedroom, along with main and upper-level dens, provides flexible space for guests, remote work, or additional living areas. Residents of 2020 Lofts enjoy 24-hour concierge service, onsite management, a fitness center, business center, and a beautifully appointed rooftop terrace with grilling stations and sweeping city views. One secure garage parking space is included. Located in the heart of the vibrant U Street Corridor, this home is just one block from the Metro and moments from Whole Foods, Atlantic Plumbing, award-winning restaurants, cafes, nightlife, fitness studios, and neighborhood favorites. Enjoy convenient access to downtown DC, National Airport, and the region's major employment centers while living in one of Washington's most dynamic and walkable neighborhoods. Tenant is responsible for electric and gas; water, trash, and internet are included. Pets considered on a case-by-case basis with owner approval. Select furnishings and artwork shown in photos will be replaced or removed prior to occupancy; otherwise, this is a fully furnished, turnkey rental - just bring your suitcase.
