This modern residence occupies the entire top floor at The Margie, and includes a private rooftop terrace matching the full interior measurement. Direct elevator access to the 5th floor opens to a welcoming foyer with multiple windows facing westward toward nearby Rock Creek Park. Gleaming hardwood floors run throughout the spacious residence, with oversized windows casting an inviting warm glow throughout with 4 exposures. Airy ceiling heights create a modern and elegant environment. The spacious family room and dining area is open to a glorious Chef's kitchen with Viking stainless steel appliances, including gas range. There are three bedrooms and three full baths, plus a walk-in laundry room/pantry. Two additional balconies grace the east-facing side of the residence. A large owner's suite features a wall of windows, overhead beam work and ceiling fan, a large walk-in closet plus an en-suite bath with granite counters, spa soaking tub and separate step-in shower. The massive private roof deck bears repeating, with 360-degree views of Washington. It's the perfect place to watch the sunrise, the sunset, or to dine under the stars. Moreland’s Tavern and Gold Coast Café are outside your doorstep. The vibrant 16th Street Heights neighborhood is home to a Saturday morning farmers’ market right out front of the building, and an extended spine of eateries and coffee shops along the 14th Street corridor. The stunning penthouse comes with a reserved parking space and basement storage unit, and is just two blocks from Rock Creek Park, home to the nearby Rock Creek Tennis Stadium and historic Carter Barron Amphitheatre.
