A Modern Suite in the Sky, at the Doorstep of Power and History! Completely reimagined down to the studs, this stunning two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath corner residence offers a rare opportunity at Market Square, one of Washington, DC’s most coveted addresses. Set in the heart of Penn Quarter, it pairs a thoroughly modern interior with views that are unmistakably Washington. A striking herringbone entry makes an elegant first impression, introducing a home whose transformation is as distinctive as its setting. Two expansive outdoor spaces extend the experience beyond the interior, with Pennsylvania Avenue views and an extraordinary perspective on the Washington Monument, the U.S. Capitol, the National Mall, and the Smithsonian museums. From quiet mornings to evenings entertaining above the city, the backdrop is nothing short of iconic. Rare in its corner position and exceptional in its outdoor space, Residence 1217 brings together the sophistication of a modern retreat with the significance of a landmark location. A suite in the sky, at the doorstep of power and history, this is Washington living at its most compelling.
