Washington, DC 20024

Welcome to 332 G St SW #501, a mid-century modern gem designed by the renowned architect Chloethiel Woodard Smith, reputed as one of the region's finest architects in mid-century classic modern architecture and profiled in the 1967 New Yorker as "quite simply one of the best architects, planners, and thinkers about cities now working anywhere." This Capitol Park II townhome with a coveted attached garage is rarely available and ideally situated in the Southwest Waterfront within walking distance to the National Mall, Smithsonian museums, and monuments, as well as the new Wharf development, Arena Stage, Navy Yard, the Nationals Stadium, and so much more.Inside, the three bedroom, one and a half bathroom home features over 1,700 square feet of fully finished space. The first level of the home provides access to the garage in addition to a powder room, a living space that works wonderfully as a home office with floor-to-ceiling windows with a garden view and patio access to a backyard in the city! The backyard garden opens up to a larger enclosed courtyard with flowering plants and trees to flourish throughout the year, including cherry blossoms, lilacs, and Japanese maples. Originally designed by "the dean of American landscape architecture" Dan Kiley, widely considered one of the most influential landscape designers of the 20th Century, working with Eero Saarinen, I.M. Pei and Frank Gehry. Kiley won a lifetime achievement award from the Smithsonian Institute. The highlight of the courtyard are the four graceful redwoods, long thought to be extinct until found in China in 1948 and likely grown from seedlings acquired shortly after that discovery. As you enter through the front door, you will find custom storage space and the front-loading stackable washer and dryer behind the closet doors. The outstanding design of this house brings the outside in, with the main floor opening up to a balcony overlooking the garden, and has ample natural light from the windows that wrap the front and back of the house. Hardwood floors can be found throughout the home. The newly updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, custom cabinets, subway tile backsplash and granite countertops. The top level is complete with three bedrooms, a hall closet and a newly updated full bathroom highlighting custom tile floors, a shower and tub, and built-in shelving. The location of this home is truly second-to-none, equidistant from both the Wharf and Navy Yard, and with Penn Quarter nearby. The restaurant and entertainment options are endless and you can enjoy the convenience of being walking distance to the three metro stations, including the Orange/Blue/Silver lines and Green/Yellow lines, making commuting incredibly convenient. During the summer months, enjoy access to the private outdoor pool at the Capitol Park Towers, which is an included amenity in the condo association. With all this home has to offer in such a central location, it will surely not last!
