Rumored to be the Japanese Ambassador's residence at one point, this rare, three bedroom Kalorama penthouse with dedicated parking and gorgeous sunset views over the National Cathedral can be yours for under $800K. (Yes, you read that correctly!) Welcome to 2040 Belmont Rd NW #606, formerly two units (a 2BD and 1BD) in an Art Deco landmark, the Valley Vista, combined to create one of DC's largest pre-war condo residences. The heart of the home is an enormous living room with wood-burning fireplace (one of very few in the building), and a separate formal dining room. A dramatic sunroom spans the length of the living and dining room and overlooks the lush tree canopy of Rock Creek Park. Imagine hosting a sunset cocktail soiree or enjoying your morning coffee from this sun-soaked perch! The grand scale of the living area is perfect for large gatherings or discerning condo buyers seeking the expansive proportions of a house. The south wing of the unit is host to two generously proportioned bedrooms and one bathroom, while the well-separated north wing offers an additional bedroom and bathroom. The well-maintained eat-in kitchen is fully functional today while offering a blank canvas for the next owner’s vision. Another valuable and unique feature of the property is the long, versatile gallery space just off the foyer; it can serve as a den/office space, pantry, mudroom, storage area, or a combination of all these. The generous storage here with the addition of generous closets throughout is far beyond anything you'll find in a typical DC condo. Valley Vista residents enjoy a front desk concierge, a pet-friendly community, bicycle storage, a secure package room, and a large community laundry facility. Unit 606 is one of the few that comes with a dedicated parking spot. Rock Creek Park, Kalorama Park, the Red Line Metro, and the dining, shopping, and cultural attractions of nearby Adams Morgan and Dupont Circle are all within easy reach. A 3BD residence of this scale in NW DC is a rarity - don't miss your chance to snag a piece of Kalorama at a remarkably accessible price!
