Description

A hidden jewel in storied Meridian Hill! Truly one-of-a-kind home formed from two original apartments at the iconic Meridian Hill Studio Co-op, never before offered for sale. Truly impressive grand salon boasts 20+ vaulted ceilings, abundant light from spectacular wall of south-facing windows and a stunning wall of glass brick, grounded by built-in storage. Wood-burning fireplace surrounded by original handmade ceramic tile complements a herringbone hardwood floor.

Designed by George Oakley Totten, Jr. in 1922 for Mary Foote Henderson, this enclave was originally designed as a home for artists and his intent lives on today. Distinct spaces abound, with rooms and natural light ideal for presenting large works. Artfully reconsidered by the current owners’ architects, the transformation of the space seamlessly blends the two homes, creating an incredible retreat with five bedrooms, two additional office / den, four and two half baths across four levels of living space. Original details remain, including ornamental balustrades, concrete decorative elements, and interior leaded glass windows overlooking the great room. A chef’s kitchen with marble countertops and a glass tile wall, plus central A/C, two generous primary suites on both wings, one with a wood-burning fireplace . Two off-street parking spaces ensure modern day comforts.

Set back from the street, with a small tree-lined courtyard, just moments from Malcolm X Park. Meridian Hill Studio Co-op offers easy access to the best of Mount Pleasant, Adams Morgan, and the 14th Street corridor and is mere blocks from Harris Teeter and the Columbia Heights metro. The monthly fee includes property taxes, parking, master building insurance, water, trash, landscaping, and exterior maintenance. Additionally, the building’s underlying mortgage has been fully paid off. Taxes are included in the fee.

This remarkable opportunity is unlike any other you’ll see this year.
