1245 4th St SW #E805, Washington, DC 20024

Sunlight hits differently up on the top floor, and this unit is proof. This one-bedroom lives bigger than you’d expect, and the oversized balcony is the main character. Step outside and you get the full DC flex: the Washington Monument, the Capitol dome, and the Potomac stretching out beyond. It’s the kind of view that makes you pause mid-scroll, turns quick mornings into slow ones, and somehow makes a regular weeknight drink feel like a plan. Inside, this renovated penthouse does not feel like the standard one-bedroom box. Custom built-ins add real function, ELFA closets keep life organized, and the kitchen and bath upgrades are thoughtful and clean: vertical subway tile, thermostatic shower fixtures, Fisher & Paykel appliances, plus a fridge water line. There’s also a tucked-away nook that’s perfect as a home office, a reading corner, or a creative space. Everything feels dialed in and truly move-in ready. The day-to-day here is refreshingly simple. The monthly co-op fee covers property taxes, building insurance, all utilities, high-speed internet, and cable, so your monthly costs stay predictable. Truly set it and forget it. There’s no underlying mortgage. Pets are welcome. Parking is available to purchase or rent, including EV-friendly options, or live car free! The SW-Waterfront Metro Station is across the street. The building brings the extras without the fluff. Two fitness centers, an outdoor pool with grills, vast green space next to the water, a community room, and a 24-hour front desk. It’s well run, easy to live in, and gives you space to gather, host, or unwind whenever you feel like it. Then you walk outside and you’re instantly in Wharf mode. Morning water walks, biking the Marina and Waterfront trails, hopping on a water taxi, or grabbing coffee at Pluma. Del Mar, Hank’s Oyster Bar, and The Salt Line are close enough to become regular rotation. Groceries are nearby, and with Waterfront and L’Enfant Plaza Metros close, commuting stays painless. DCA, the National Mall, downtown, and Capitol Hill are all just minutes away, whether you’re walking, biking, or hopping on Metro. Between live music, festivals, and waterfront evenings, there’s always something happening. Home still feels like a calm reset when you want it. Thoughtfully upgraded home, a building that simplifies your life, and a location that delivers the Wharf lifestyle every single day.
