WASHINGTON, D.C. (October 15, 2015) — Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage agent Ryall Smith of the Grant, Ryall and Andrew Group has just listed 1315 Independence Avenue Southeast PH 23 in Capitol Hill. The premier penthouse residence in the award-winning Bryan School Lofts is presented for $1.69 million and offers nearly 2400 square-feet of gracious living and entertaining space plus world-class views with 900 square-feet of rooftop terraces, a one-car garage and an outdoor parking space.
The expansive loft in the century-old former school gives a chic, SOHO industrial feel boasting a cubic volume rare in Washington, exposed brick and beams and cherry wood floors. The main level is home to two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The expansive great room with soaring 18-foot ceilings,10-foot windows & a fireplace is perfect for grand entertaining. The great room opens to a chef's kitchen with Viking and Subzero appliances and both breakfast and wet bar areas. A modern iron staircase leads to a home-office landing and on to a surprise family room on the roof. Four sets of French doors open up to the private wrap-around rooftop terrace with its own outdoor "rooms" and amazing views, including the Capitol Dome, Washington Monument and National Cathedral.
“This important residence brings New York City-scale and cubic volume to Washington, D.C. The space this penthouse offers, not just in square footage, but also in height and texture, is unmatched in Washington, D.C.” said Smith. “Having its first 2,000-square feet on one floor is very rare in this area. Couple that with the bonus outside living and entertaining areas featuring unobstructed views of the District’s iconic landmarks, this penthouse is one of the region's most spectacular condominium offerings currently on the market.”
The Bryan School Lofts are within walking distance of Eastern Market, supermarkets and Metro. Centrally located on Capitol Hill just off Lincoln Park; dining and shopping are available along nearby Barracks Row and Pennsylvania Avenue. In 2004, Smith led the original sales team during Abdo Development's launch of the 20 lofts in the Bryan School. He was the second purchaser of a unit there and still calls the Bryan School home.
