What happens when natural light, enduring architecture, and thoughtful design align?
This 1,100 square foot corner unit inside the historic Letterman House is our answer. Just three blocks from The White House, this residence has been fully reimagined by District Units, LLC, not simply as a renovation, but as a study in livable design.
With a modern soul and classic bones, the home invites you to slow down and appreciate how light moves through a space, how materials meet, and how each room supports the rhythm of daily life. Sunlight pours through wall-to-wall windows, offering rare tree lined views and complete privacy, creating a natural sense of calm in the heart of Foggy Bottom. Underfoot, 6" Natural White Oak flooring runs throughout, grounding the home in warmth and cohesion.
The layout includes two true ensuite bedrooms, each with expansive windows, full separation, and a sense of serenity that's hard to find in central DC. The third room offers additional flexibility--perfect as a home office, guest room, or private retreat. But because District Units understands that no two lifestyles are the same, this space was intentionally designed to transform. At the buyer's request, District Units, LLC can remove the wall and doorway, turning this room into a formal dining area that expands the living space. The existing closet can then be easily transitioned into a large pantry or custom storage depending on how you live.
In the main living area, a custom birch-wrapped corner column adds organic interest, while a small built-in desk nook provides just the right space for focused work or quiet planning thus ensuring no square inch goes unused. The kitchen is clean, modern, and highly functional. Calcutta Tuscany Gold countertops continue into a seamless backsplash. A Matte Black Rain Dance pull-out faucet with built-in water filtration and a pressurized cup washer adds practical luxury. Italian appliances by FORNO and wood cabinetry complete the space with clarity and efficiency. The bathrooms take a subtle, modern approach--spa-inspired in tone, with large-format tile, clean-lined fixtures, and soft lighting.
Everything was chosen to support ease and comfort without excess. Throughout the home, classic crystal door knobs pair with elegant interior doors to offer timeless detail and tactile charm, quiet reminders that the small things matter. The unit also includes W/D hookup, a larger-than-standard secured garage parking space, and comes with a one-year workmanship warranty from District Units, LLC thus backing the craft behind every finish and every choice.
