Description of 1516 Q St NW #3, Washington, DC 20009
Listing details for 1516 Q St NW #3, Washington, DC 20009 : Presenting 1516 Q Street NW, Residence 3, an exceptional two-level penthouse where historic Washington architecture is reimagined through more than 2,500 square feet of beautifully curated living space in the heart of Logan Circle.
Set within a distinguished 1885 row home, this remarkable residence offers the scale, privacy, and character of a private townhouse across two expansive levels, complemented by a private rooftop terrace that creates a rare outdoor retreat in the heart of the city.
Gracious proportions, dramatic ceiling heights, tall windows, hardwood floors, restored architectural details, and thoughtfully selected finishes create interiors that feel sophisticated, collected, and entirely individual. The residence offers three bedrooms and three full baths, along with a series of substantial improvements designed to elevate both the beauty and function of the home.
At the heart of the residence is a custom European-inspired kitchen, completely reimagined in 2024, with an oversized quartz island, continuous quartz backsplash, and seamlessly integrated Miele and Sub-Zero appliances. Sleek cabinetry and clean architectural lines give the kitchen a refined, almost furniture-like quality while creating an exceptional setting for everyday living and gathering.
Throughout the residence, contemporary design is layered beautifully against its historic character. A striking glass staircase, commissioned wallpaper by a local artist, designer lighting by Restoration Hardware, custom window treatments, and floor-to-ceiling built-ins with integrated lighting and a rolling library ladder create a distinctive visual language. A climate-controlled wine room, added in 2022, brings another layer of sophistication.
The primary suite offers a serene private retreat with a spa-inspired bath renovated in 2022 and a custom-fitted walk-in closet. Additional features include Sonos sound throughout, smart lighting and thermostats, a smart alarm system, generous custom storage, and a flexible room that transitions easily into a home office. Freshly painted throughout in 2026, the residence is beautifully presented and ready for its next chapter.
The private rooftop terrace extends the living experience outdoors and creates an intimate setting for morning coffee, an evening aperitivo, or dinner beneath the city sky. One assigned parking space conveys, a coveted convenience in one of Washington's most walkable neighborhoods.
Step outside and the best of Logan Circle and the 14th Street corridor unfolds around you. Acclaimed restaurants, galleries, boutiques, fitness, neighborhood markets, and the Dupont Circle Metro are all within easy reach. Inside, the residence offers a rare sense of privacy and retreat amid the energy of the city.
A home for art and music. For slow mornings and spontaneous plans. For intimate dinners and evenings that linger. For quiet moments and unforgettable gatherings.
