About 418 7th St Se #401
Welcome to this sensational, immensely private penthouse residence that lives like a single-family home and a treehouse overlooking Eastern Market and downtown DC. Bathed in natural light streaming through skylights and oversized windows on both sides of this top-floor, full-floor unit at The Prout, an award-winning boutique condominium, this penthouse is truly one-of-a-kind. Completed with meticulous attention to quality and functionality, this residence was custom built for the developer himself, making it the crown jewel of the building.
Unit 401 features two expansive, private roof decks totaling over 650 SF and facing east and west to capture both sunrise and sunset. The large rear terrace off the kitchen and living space features a gas grill connection, space for outdoor living and dining, a pet turf area, and lush planters set atop beautiful Ipe decking. The charming front terrace off the primary bedroom is a sanctuary in the city with a completely private sitting area surrounded by a lush roof garden and gorgeous western and southern views.
Inside the home, abundant recessed LED lighting and motorized shades allow for total control of your environment via Lutron smart dimmers with voice command and programming capabilities. The chef’s kitchen impresses with panelized Bosch appliances, a gas range, custom cabinetry with many hidden storage and organizational features, and a 3-inch solid wood butcher block countertop on the island that combines practicality and warmth. A half bath off the kitchen is perfect for entertaining and allows the two en-suite baths to remain private. Next to the half bath, the laundry room features tons of cabinet storage, counter space, and an LG washer and dryer. The entire building was constructed with above-standard insulation and soundproofing, high-efficiency Trane HVAC systems, and Nest thermostats.
The primary suite offers gorgeous western views overlooking the private front terrace, dual closets, and a luxurious en-suite bath with a double vanity, Hansgrohe shower fixtures, and elegant floor-to-ceiling marble tile. The second bedroom features built-ins with deep drawers for additional storage and a custom Queen-size Murphy bed for ultimate flexibility to use this space as a home office, guest bedroom, fitness room, or a combination thereof. With another beautiful en-suite bath, generous closet space, and direct access to the rear terrace, this second suite checks all the boxes.
In addition to all the amazing features of the home itself, the building’s shared rear yard is an urban oasis complete with a gas grill, gas fire pit, and a large communal dining table for laid-back evenings or weekend gatherings. In addition to being pet-friendly, this prime Capitol Hill location is steps from Barracks Row, METRO, and Eastern Market.
