Property Description
At the apex of the iconic Watergate West Cooperative, this extraordinary two bedroom, two and a half bath, corner penthouse with nearly 2,000 interior square feet, a 900 square foot private roof terrace and commanding Potomac River views occupies a rarefied tier of Washington living that only a select few get to experience. One of only four Watergate West penthouses with direct river views—and the first to hit the market since 2022—Penthouse Seven represents a seldom-seen opportunity to own a residence with few equals in the nation's capital.
Penthouse Seven welcomes you home with a dramatic, curved staircase with custom ironwork and brass detailing that rises through a sunlit, double-height foyer, creating a striking architectural centerpiece. From the moment you enter—beneath elevated penthouse ceilings—the residence draws your eye through a canopy of trees across Theodore Roosevelt Island, before the luminous Potomac River takes over as a constant and captivating focal point. A wall of windows in the living room captures this stunning backdrop and allows natural light to pour into the space that is anchored by a wood burning fireplace on one end and a wall of built-in bookshelves on the other. The sheer size of the living room and the configuration of the spaces provides ample opportunity to open and expand the kitchen and pair it with a fabulous open living and dining area. A guest powder room, a deep pantry closet and a large coat closet in the foyer provide added convenience and storage to round out this space.
A separate wing houses the bedroom quarters which include two generously sized bedrooms- each with their own views of the Potomac. The primary suite boasts two closets, including a large walk-in closet, and a primary bath with a large vanity, jetted tub and frameless glass shower enclosure. The second bedroom features a deep walk-in closet along with a secondary closet and easy access to a hall bathroom with ample storage and a shower tower with a handheld attachment.
Ascending the stairs to the upper landing unlocks a whole new feeling of awe as the 900 square foot private roof terrace opens up before you- almost like ripping the frame off a beautiful painting only to joyously discover that the painting stretches for miles in each direction. Warm sun glints off the Potomac's waters as crew shells silently slice through early morning waters, boats glide past to dock along the Georgetown Waterfront and intrepid paddleboarders weave in and out of the arches supporting the Key Bridge in the distance. The skyline stretches from the spires on Georgetown's campus and the skyline of Rosslyn to the hallowed ground of Arlington Cemetery and beyond. Equipped with water, electric and a large gas grille, this is a space built for a garden paradise, wonderful gatherings of friends and family, waterfront dinner parties or simply quiet contemplation witnessing the magic of a slowly setting sun over the Potomac River.
Set along the banks of the Potomac River, the iconic Watergate Complex offers a rare blend of architectural pedigree, full-service living, and unmatched location. Designed by renowned architect Luigi Moretti, the cooperative is celebrated for its striking curved façade, expansive river and timeless mid-century modern design. Residents enjoy an elevated lifestyle with 24-hour concierge and security, a doorman, a fitness and business center, a heated outdoor pool, on-site shops and dining, and impeccably maintained grounds. Penthouse Seven comes with a large, temperature controlled and private storage unit as well as a large, conveniently located rental parking space that should be transferable to the new owner. Just steps from the Kennedy Center, the Potomac River waterfront, and moments to Georgetown, Foggy Bottom Metro, Whole Foods, and downtown, Watergate West offers a seamless blend of tranquility and urban access in one of the city's most storied addresses. Co-op fee includes Property Tax
