River Park in SW
River Park is a co-op community on 11 park-like acres in southwest Washington DC. It is a hidden enclave designed by the renowned mid-century modern architect Charles M. Goodman. After 50 years of planning and development, this community has it all.
Now is the time to buy in SW before it becomes another DC neighborhood too high priced to afford.
Coveted by those who want style and function, this four level townhome is rarely available. The BEST location in the community with sunrise and sunset views. The distinct barrel roof is a design never seen anywhere else in Washington, DC!
Kitchen
The stunning crafted new kitchen reflects the Goodman sensibilities. It features custom sustainable bamboo cabinets with clever doors and storage. Tuscan Hills is known for its superior craftsmanship. It shows. Great slide out drawers, a desk, room for a TV, and room for a real table too.
Other kitchen features include a super-stylish painted glass backsplash. Aptly named Serenata Blue, the light reflects beautifully. A clean Arctic White Corian counter top complements these hues. The chandelier with multicolored stained glass – a find from a Barcelona flea market – all blend beautifully to complete this sleek room.
Living Room
Barrel Roof townhomes are known for their half-moon “barrel” shaped walls and views from every line of sight. The living room has floor-to-ceiling glass doors overlooking a private patio. Perfect for the dog or some fun-filled summer barbecues before the Nationals play ball. Season tickets are a must. This townhome features cool parquet floors, perfect for mid-century styles or any style! An open staircase completes the scene.
If you prefer the arts, this home is just a block from Arena Stage. But…back to this fab floor plan.
First Upper Level
The second level has two bedrooms and a remodeled bath. Even a claw foot tub to relax in. Each bedroom has a wall of windows, great closets and hardwood floors.
The open staircase with distinctive wood wall stretches up, perfect for that distinctive art from your travels. A sweet built-in is the perfect pause. Stairs are lit by stylish sconces. The perfect touch!
Second Upper Level: The Barrel Roof
The top floor here has the Barrel Roof design by Charles Goodman. Front and back floor-to-ceiling windows, framed by the clever barrel, framing your sunrise and sunset views.
This fab location in the River Park Community is private and the views are treetops with views of the hardscape planned by the architect. One tree outside the upper floor bedroom window resembles a modern sculpture.
Two more bedrooms and another full bath are on this special sanctuary level. Nothing compares. Walls of closets and a built-in are perfectly situated. Each bedroom has the full barrel design, possibilities are endless. Hardwood floors and a remodeled bath are special surprises! This is the dream of DC living!
All the must have brand names from the kitchen to the baths assure quality and value. Toto toilets, GE Profile, the list goes on. And the co-op lifestyle, you are taken care of!
