Historic architecture meets modern luxury in one of Capitol Hill's most extraordinary residences. Welcome to The Sanctuary, an award-winning conversion of a 19th-century Gothic Revival church. This stunning two level penthouse offers a rare opportunity to live in a piece of Washington history, with dramatic architectural details, beautifully updated interiors, and the convenience of private parking.
The centerpiece of this remarkable home is a breathtaking, floor-to-ceiling stained-glass window, meticulously restored and framed by an original exposed-brick arch. Soaring 20-foot ceilings, an original church chandelier, and abundant morning light create a living space that is both dramatic and inviting. Wide-plank hardwood floors and an open layout connect the living, dining, and kitchen areas, creating an exceptional setting for everyday living and entertaining.
The beautifully appointed kitchen features imported Italian stone countertops, a breakfast bar, crisp white cabinetry, and premium stainless steel appliances, including a JennAir gas range, Zephyr hood, and KitchenAid refrigerator and dishwasher.
The main-level bedroom is a peaceful retreat, featuring its own gorgeous stained glass windows, a walk-in closet, and a luxurious en suite marble bath with a double vanity and spacious glass-enclosed shower. Upstairs, the second bedroom overlooks the spectacular living space below and offers an en suite bath, generous closet space, and a cupola skylight. A main level powder room, dedicated laundry room, and whole-home water purification system add to the home's thoughtful amenities.
