From the West End to Potomac, four homes embody the grace of exceptional and functional design.
Each room flows seamlessly to the next
MODERN MARVEL Step into Westlight and the expansive foyer of No. 93, where a complete renovation resulted in a contemporary space with lavish black, white and gray finishes. “The Venetian plaster ceilings and walls in certain rooms are gorgeous and exude luxury,” says Marin Hagen, one of the property’s listing agents. “It’s unlike most other apartments in the building.” With two living rooms, 180-degree views and custom furniture, the three-bed, 3 ½-bath condominium is a sumptuous gem. Upon entering the 3,000-square-foot space, admire Phillip Jeffries silk wallcoverings and a custom Venetian plaster ceiling with polished nickel trim.
Black and gray finishes abound.
Floor-to-ceiling windows run the length of the entertaining space, creating a seamless flow from the formal living room to the open-concept kitchen-dining area. Prepare delectable bites with top-of-the-line appliances before sitting down for casual meals at the custom LED-backlit onyx island—the centerpiece of the chef’s kitchen. Contrasting the home’s dark gray and black palette are three tranquil bedrooms outfitted in pure whites. The serene primary suite is the perfect place to unwind, complete with an en suite bath. Begin every morning in the cedarfloor shower before primping at the double-vanity counter. Bonus: Building residents can enjoy a rooftop deck with grilling stations, a 25-meter heated swimming pool, and indoor and outdoor eating spaces. $7.45 million, 1111 24th St. NW, #93, Marin Hagen and Sylvia Bergstrom, 202.471.5256, hagenbergstrom.com
