Property Description
Dramatic ceiling heights, tall windows, hardwood floors, restored architectural details, and thoughtfully curated finishes create interiors that feel sophisticated, collected, and entirely individual. Throughout the residence, contemporary design is layered beautifully against its historic character.
At the heart of the penthouse 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.
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 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 and U street Metro are all within easy reach. Inside, the penthouse offers a rare sense of privacy and retreat amid the energy of the city.
1516 Q Street NW, Penthouse isn't simply a place to live. It's a home that turns city living into an art form.
