Welcome to this historic, sun-drenched penthouse at 1717 Lamont Street NW! One of just four residences in this boutique condominium, Unit D spans two floors and lives like a charming European retreat in the heart of Mount Pleasant. Upon entering, a grand foyer with 10-foot ceilings welcomes you home, featuring original ornate millwork along the staircase banister. The main level offers an expansive living room framed by two oversized south-facing windows, filling the space with natural light throughout the day. Generously proportioned, the room can be enjoyed as one grand living space or thoughtfully divided to create a home office, reading nook, fitness area, or even space for a baby grand piano! Upstairs, a bright, open-concept kitchen and dining area offers the perfect setting for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features white quartz countertops, a breakfast bar, and stainless steel appliances, while a built-in credenza provides additional storage and character. Two oversized window nooks create inviting spots for a chaise lounge, reading area, or small desk. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms occupy the rear of the upper level. The spacious primary bedroom comfortably accommodates a king-sized bed and features two generous closets and a modern en-suite bath with dual vanities. The secondary bedroom, also with its own en-suite bath, boasts striking views of the National Cathedral through two of its four windows and comfortably fits a queen-sized bed, dresser, and additional furnishings. Throughout the home, original heart-of-pine floors, a large wood-burning fireplace, windows on three exposures, and two skylights create a bright, inviting atmosphere filled with historic character and architectural charm. And then there’s the location. Just steps from Mount Pleasant Street, 1717 Lamont puts you in the heart of one of DC’s most beloved neighborhoods—named one of the world’s “Coolest Neighborhoods” by Time Out. From celebrated restaurants and neighborhood shops to parks, historic architecture, and the area’s unmistakable community feel, everything that makes Mount Pleasant special is right outside your door.
