1375 MARYLAND NE #D Washington, DC 20002

***Offer deadline: Wednesday, Oct. 27th at 12pm*** Welcome to the Pierce School Lofts! A non-designated historic school building built in 1893 and painstakingly renewed & restored, the Pierce School was transformed into a community of eight luxury loft condos in 2018. A truly unique residence, there is nothing else like this in all of DC. Unit D is an Upper Level Loft overlooking leafy Maryland Ave. and completely reimagined by its current owner while maintaining the integrity of the original historic detail. Nine foot-tall windows along two exposures stream in glorious afternoon sun, and a 26 long chalkboard spans the length of an entire wall - an eye-catching nod to the Building's former life. The Original Hardwood Floors are brought back to life with a dramatic and appealing dark stain that grounds the remarkable 14-Foot Ceiling Height. Enhancing the true loft nature of this unit, the Seller added a 200 SF architect-designed, Lofted Bedroom with custom stairs and railing; not only adding a visually striking architectural feature, but greatly enhancing the functionality of the Unit overall. Beneath the Bedroom Loft is a massive (10'x15') Walk-in Closet & Dressing Area, featuring three walls of the modular Elfa storage solution. This space is large enough (with windows) to serve as a Home Office, Peloton studio or Guest Room -- a true Flexible Space. Other notable improvements made by Seller include the enhancement of the spectacular & spacious Bathroom. The 12' long marble Dual Vanity was refinished, with new sinks and faucets installed. The monumental Elevated Shower (open to the entire 14' ceiling) was completely restored with new Tile and by exposing & water-sealing the original 1893 Brick, and adding a custom glass enclosure. Antique French Doors were added to Bathroom entry, and the free-standing antique Claw Foot Tub was reglazed. Other notable features of Unit D include include an additional Storage Closet (44"Wx44"Dx11'H) located next to unit entry and a new Hot Water Heater in 2018.

The building itself is just as impressive as the unit, with amenities far beyond a typical boutique condo building -- nothing about the Pierce School Lofts is typical! The crown jewel is the 40,000-gallon Black Bottom, Heated In-Ground Pool & in-ground jetted & lighted Jacuzzi (maintained and open year round) that anchors the stunning rear Courtyard. Professionally landscaped with lighting & hardscaping, this courtyard is truly an Oasis in the middle of the city! The Pool & Jacuzzi were re-painted & re-tiled summer of 2021. There are multiple seating areas -- including at the gas fireplace made of imported limestone -- with new (2020) Patio Furniture from Design Within Reach, including chaise lounges, tables, chairs, sofa, cushions. The large (10') industrial Cooler has bar seating for four and can accomodate all your food & beverages for a large gathering or intimate BBQ. A sink & brand new (2021) commercial Weber hard-lined gas grill complete the Outdoor Kitchen for effortless entertaining! A Fitness Center is complete with new Treadmill, new Cable Machine, Free Weights, Squat Rack with plates and other muscle-specific machines. The entire brick facade of the building was re-pointed (comprehensive mortar & brick repair) in 2021. New Security System with cameras and resident mobile entry (from WHOO) installed Sept. 2021. Electronically locked Bike Storage & Package Storage rooms.
Come see this truly special home and building, and you'll never want to leave.
