Property Description
This light-filled 2 BR, 2 BA unit in Art Deco Woodley Park Towers retains the 1929 building’s charm (9’ ceilings, 6-over-6 windows, hardwood floors) and many original features (“Miracle Doors”, louvered doors (for airflow) plus the usual access doors, brass-and-glass doorknobs, etc.) Some of the Sellers’ many upgrades aren’t obvious (a new electric panel) while others are more visible (stripped/repainted doors and refinished hardware). Whenever something new was added, it was designed to blend with Unit 11’s age and style. ------
“WPT” has quick access to DC’s urban advantages with two nearby Metro stops and is within walking distance of both Cleveland and Woodley Parks’ restaurants, shops, and services (a Post Office, DC Branch Library, cleaners). It also overlooks the Klingle Valley and is linked by a short path to the bike and pedestrian trail that goes downhill to join Rock Creek Park’s extensive trails. ------
#11 gets the best of both worlds since it’s on WPT’s main floor and surrounded by nature. It feels more like a house than an apartment; from the Foyer, you see through an arch to the living room and, to one side, through French doors to the oversized Dining Room. Both have large windows framing the trees and gardens outside. The Kitchen was redesigned to make use of all available space and has abundant storage in custom-built cabinets that extend to the ceiling and are tucked into often ignored spots. Custom copper countertops provide plenty of work space (there’s room for more than one cook). The Bedrooms/Baths are down a hallway lined with 3 closets, all redone to increase their capacity. The Primary Bedroom’s ensuite Bath has a large walk-in shower while the Hall Bath has a shower- over- tub for traditionalists. ------
The floor plan is flexible. Cable runs to the Solarium and 2nd Bedroom, so the Solarium’s built-in desks, bookshelves, drawers and cabinets can be an office or reading/study space and the Bedroom works as a den or office, too. The Foyer, accented by a vintage fireplace mantle fitted with bookshelves, is big enough to hold an extra table for parties or for projects. The Primary Bedroom is spacious but filled with storage, featuring both a walk-in closet and custom-built floor-to-ceiling louvered cabinets that can be used for shelving or to hang clothes. ------
There are no steps between the street and WPT’s lobby/elevators . Unit #11, on the same floor, is especially convenient because it has no internal steps and is close to the only elevator that goes to the basement, where the Laundry Room, Fitness Center/Sauna, Community Room, and extra Storage Units are located. (It’s also near the adjacent stairway, so just one flight away from those amenities and a shortcut out to Connecticut Ave.)
