One of the coolest condo buildings in DC, this 2 bedroom, 2 full bath unit in Lovejoy Lofts offers a unique living experience like no other! Converted from a schoolhouse named after famous minister, newspaper editor, and fierce abolitionist, Elijah P. Lovejoy, the famous property is steeped in history that shows at every turn. Defined by the exposed original brick walls, soaring ceilings with exposed ductwork, polished concrete floors and too many architectural details to count, the living space feels huge; open, airy and as aesthetically pleasing as it is versatile. The kitchen features granite counters, gas cooking, island with breakfast bar, great cabinet and work areas and opens to the flexible living room. The storage is next level, quite literally with flexible loft spaces, mechanical/laundry room and a primary closet system to die for. Unit comes with a great parking space, right in front of the door. The Capitol Hill location is fantastic, just blocks from H-Street corridor and Lincoln Park, and a mile or less to Eastern Market, Union Station, US Capitol, and new RFK development. Enjoy the adjacent playground, dog park and community gardens. Whether you choose to wander the city or stay close, you’ll feel at home.
