Welcome to one of Northern Exchange’s coolest loft-style residences at 1401 R St NW #206. This 1-bedroom, 1-bath home was originally built in the 1920s and masterfully reimagined in 2012, blending historic character with modern design. Industrial-chic details shine throughout—terra-cotta ceilings, exposed brick, wide-plank wood floors—while a sunlit window bay with 15’ ceilings fills the open layout with natural light. The sleek gourmet kitchen, tranquil lofted bedroom, cozy nook, and generous closet space round out this rare urban retreat. Set in the heart of Logan Circle, this boutique 36-unit building puts you in one of DC’s most walkable neighborhoods. With a Walk Score in the high 90s, everything you need is just outside your door—designer boutiques, cafés, galleries, and leafy parks like Franklin Square and Logan Circle Park. Food lovers will especially appreciate the 14th Street corridor just around the corner. From French cafés to Peruvian, Northern Thai to Southern-inspired favorites, the neighborhood offers endless dining and nightlife options. It’s the perfect blend of historic streetscape and vibrant city energy. Top it all off with the building’s crown jewel: a panoramic rooftop deck with sweeping views of Logan Circle, U Street, and beyond. Whether it’s morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or hosting friends, it’s your private front-row seat to the DC skyline. With pet-friendly living, modern finishes, and unbeatable location, this home delivers both style and lifestyle.
