Last summer, I had the pleasure of photographing a stunning condo tucked away in one of Washington, D.C.’s quieter neighborhoods—a true hidden gem just beyond the city's buzz. With 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 850 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, this home strikes the perfect balance between modern comfort and urban retreat.

From the moment you step inside the basement level condo, you’re welcomed by an open-concept living room and kitchen that feels airy and bright. Thanks to a large sliding glass door that opens onto a private patio, the space is bathed in natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that’s ideal for both relaxing and entertaining.

The kitchen is a dream for any home chef or design lover. Outfitted with sleek stainless steel appliances, elegant quartz countertops, and high-end cabinetry, it’s as functional as it is beautiful. There’s even room to customize—imagine adding a stylish island or countertop bar for extra seating and prep space. A cozy dining area completes the scene, making it easy to host intimate dinners or enjoy your morning coffee in peace.

Both bedrooms continue the home’s modern aesthetic with clean lines, oversized closets, and smart layouts. The primary suite is a standout, featuring a spa-like ensuite bath with a walk-in shower, double vanity, and striking black fixtures that add a dash of contemporary elegance. The marble-tiled shower, with its dual shower heads, feels more like a high-end hotel experience than a home bath—a perfect way to unwind after a busy day in the city.

The guest bathroom doesn’t hold back, either. With another double vanity, a walk-in shower with dual shower heads, and a state-of-the-art mirror, it offers the same level of luxury and attention to detail.

Step outside and you'll find a shared patio that’s ideal for morning coffee, weekend barbecues, or a quiet evening under the stars. It’s these little touches—combined with thoughtful design and a peaceful location—that make this condo so special.
