Welcome to style and culture with this contemporary, spacious, two bedroom, two bath condo that provides the perfect balance of modern convenience within a historic setting. Since its construction in the mid-19th century, the building has been home to The Langham Hotel, a tobacco importing company, and of course its namesake, the offices of the French Consulate. It was even once called home to the person who patented the Ouija board, just to name a few of its tenants. It was converted to residential condos, its current use, in 1982...This modern unit is adorned with 12' tall ceilings, hardwood floors, and spectacular views of Mt. Vernon Place & the original Washington Monument, designed by Robert Mills, who also designed the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C.. The majestic floor to ceiling windows have been upgraded with interior soundproof inserts and custom window treatments, creating a serene, tranquil setting, in the heart of the city...The kitchen is sleek with ample cabinets, granite countertops, glass tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances including a Viking range & hood, and a concealed Bosch dishwasher. The vibe is enhanced with two Verner Panton chandeliers, a legend in Scandinavian design, a classic Baltimore tin ceiling, cove lighting, and a moveable kitchen island, for the utmost in flexibility...The living room is large, unusual for a condo in this area, with plenty of space for entertaining. Just past the living room in an ideal location is a den, a walk-in closet, or perhaps an office if you are in need of a little privacy, complete with plenty of storage, Shaw carpet tile, and a George Nelson bubble light, with a second one in the hall...Each full bathroom has a spa-like feel to them. One with a walk-in shower, and the other a Duravit soaking tub for those days with a little extra time, each adorned with Ann Sacks glass tile. One is complete with Kohler fixtures, a marble sink on walnut vanity, and speaking of vanity, a mirrored Robern medicine cabinet...Formally two one-bedroom units, the layout is ideal with two separate suites each including front-end loading washer/dryers, water heaters, electric panels, separate heat pumps for dual-zone climate control, built-in shelving, and West Elm floating shelves..Mt. Vernon is known for its cultural offerings by being home to some of the finest art institutions, performance & educational centers, and architecturally stunning buildings in the region. The neighborhood streets are lined with restaurants, shops, and boutique hotels. It is centrally located, and moments from Baltimore Penn Station, the City's transportation hub with Amtrak and M.A.R.C. trains providing service to D.C., Philadelphia, N.Y. and beyond. For local trips, the Charm City Circulator, Hopkins Shuttle to Homewood and East Baltimore Campuses, & Light Rail have convenient stops just blocks away. All this in a pet friendly building.
