1711 14TH Street NW

Description

Perched above one of Washington D.C.’s most dynamic corridors, the Penthouse at 1711 14th Street NW is a rare rooftop residence where refined-architecture, privacy, and sweeping city views converge. Conceived and executed by the developer behind The Liz—one of the city’s most exclusive residential addresses—this fully custom residence offers more than 2,000 square feet of interior space and an extraordinary 1,047-square-foot private terrace. Surrounded by expansive skyline views stretching from the Washington Monument to the Potomac River and the Basilica, the home offers three bedrooms, three full baths, and a powder room in a setting that feels both open and quietly removed from the city below.The residence was designed by Selldorf Architects, the internationally acclaimed firm known for projects including the Frick Collection, Neue Galerie New York, and the Clark Art Institute. Their philosophy of restraint and precision is evident throughout the home. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior, while sliding wall systems allow the layout to adapt effortlessly—functioning as a two-bedroom residence with expansive living spaces or as a three-bedroom home with additional office. Concealed storage, custom millwork, and minimalist wood-paneled walls maintain a calm, highly considered aesthetic.Living spaces are anchored by dramatic sliding glass panels that open the home completely to the terrace, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor environment. Each bedroom connects directly to its own portion of the wraparound terrace, extending the sense of space outward to the surrounding skyline. The primary suite is designed as a private retreat, featuring a spa-like bath finished in Italian Breccia di Capraia marble and its own outdoor shower.The terrace, designed by nationally respected landscape architecture firm Thomas Clime Landscape, functions as a true outdoor living environment in the sky. Limestone pavers, sculptural plantings, integrated lighting, and water features create a layered landscape with spaces for dining, gathering, and quiet retreat. Lounge areas, garden moments, exterior showers, and sculptural fire and water elements create one of the most thoughtfully designed private terraces in the city.Every element of the home was custom designed and fabricated. The Bulthaup kitchen is equipped with integrated Miele, Sub-Zero, and Gaggenau appliances, while seamless FusionFlex® poured flooring extends throughout the living spaces and showers. A gas and wood-burning fireplace designed by Skolnick Architecture anchors the main living area. Additional features include custom millwork by Potomac Architectural Millwork, museum-quality lighting, architectural hardware, and panoramic sliding glass systems. A fully integrated Crestron smart-home system controls lighting, climate, shades, security, and an audiophile indoor-outdoor sound system.Among the residence’s most exceptional features is its private, fully enclosed oversized two-car garage with secure lock-off storage—an amenity rarely found in Washington penthouse living—along with a separate climate-controlled art storage room.Residents enjoy the services of a premier luxury building, including 24-hour concierge and security, a fitness center, dog-washing station, and bike storage, while the penthouse itself remains quietly removed from the activity of the neighborhood below.Offered for the first time, the Penthouse at 1711 14th Street NW represents a rare opportunity to acquire a residence defined by architectural pedigree, exceptional craftsmanship, and a remarkable connection to the city’s skyline.Represented by Daryl Judy of Washington Fine Properties, this offering is presented with the discretion, strategy, and care it deserves.
