Description

This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from October 03, 2023
A condo unlike any other in Washington, Rainbow Lofts #43 is one of three penthouse apartments in a boutique 21-unit building situated in the heart of Logan Circle, on quiet Church Street but close to the bustle of 14th Street and P Street. The 1,250-square-foot apartment has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, 10’-9” ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a 360-square-foot walk-out private outdoor deck. Meticulously designed by the current owners—the architect for the conversion of the original 1929 auto repair garage to residential in 2004, and the former senior curator at the National Building Museum—the unit has been featured on the cover of ArchitectureDC magazine and in The Washington Post Magazine Home & Design issue. The unit’s sleekly modern interior, open living-dining-kitchen space, and immediately adjacent outdoor deck make it perfect for entertaining and convenient for daily living. The primary bedroom suite is generous, and the second bedroom is right-sized for use as an office or guest room. Floors throughout have been recently replaced, using engineered hardwood maple planks. The refrigerator, oven, and microwave are all new, and a new Bosch washer and dryer were installed in 2019. The current owners customized multiple aspects of the unit. These include three “pods” in the living area that visually organize the kitchen back wall, media center, and fireplace; a sculpture niche on axis with the entrance; stainless steel shelves in niches adjacent to the fireplace; and a built-in desk and cabinets in the office/guest room. The bed/nightstands and dresser in the primary bedroom were custom designed by the owners and made by specialty craftsmen. Aluminum leaf walls in the dining room/kitchen and hall bathroom are an homage to the terra cotta and brick walls of the loft units in the original building below. Complementing the custom aesthetic aspects of the condominium are utilitarian conveniences. The building has a centralized water system with recirculating piping, meaning that hot water is instant and endless. The HVAC pairs a heat pump for air conditioning with a gas-fired furnace for heat, both high-efficiency models. Sunshades block the summer sun while letting the light and warmth of the winter sun in. The outdoor terrace's orientation optimizes its usefulness: it is sunny all day during the winter, but in the summer, it is in shade in the early morning and late afternoon. There is a drip irrigation system for the plantings on the deck, and motorized shades for the living/dining room windows. Custom shelves, rods, and a pegboard optimize storage. Acoustic separation between adjacent condominium units is superior. The building has a large elevator, bike storage, and professional management. Penthouse unit 43 has a reserved parking space behind the building. The 1400 block of Church Street is one of the most picturesque streetscapes in Washington, DC. Some of the city’s best restaurants, bars, shops, and theaters are all within a few blocks, as well as day-to-day needs such as supermarkets, a drug store, and hardware store. Le Diplomate, Barcelona Wine Bar, Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe’s, the Studio Theater, Room & Board, Mitchell Gold, Black Cat, and Miss Pixie's are all within five minutes’ walk, with more coming soon, including Café Japonais at 14th & Church and Planta Cocina at 15th & P. Numerous bus lines and two Metro stations are nearby, as well as several Capital Bikeshare stations. Penthouse unit 43 at Rainbow Lofts offers stylish, peaceful, convenient, and comfortable living in the heart of DC’s most dynamic neighborhood.
