PRICE REDUCED! Shangri-La - an imaginary, beautiful place, often far away, where everything is pleasant and you can get everything you want. The Columbia Residences are right here in the heart of West End and consider it your real-life utopia. It starts right when you walk in the building of the former Columbia Hospital for Women, which was built in 1918 with the residences constructed in 2006. A stately and generous lobby awaits you attended by a concierge that is truly staffed 24 hours a day, 7-days a week. That makes package delivery a snap. This 2 bedroom, 1 bath unit revolves around the open concept living area with nearly 11 foot ceilings for a nice airy feel. The kitchen features upgraded counters, a center island, and high-end appliances such as a Sub-Zero refrigerator and a Viking stove. This rarely available center unit provides a beautiful and tree-lined view that might make you feel like you lived in a tree house. The owner's suite also has that view and rises to an equally rarefied air with a tray ceiling. Lots of closet space gives you all the immediate storage that you need. It leads to a spacious bathroom with a double vanity and an oversized frameless shower. A loft/den/office/second bedroom makes for a flexible layout. But have no fear, you have more options for guests to stay over. The Columbia has 3 guest suites on premises available for rent at very reasonable rates for up to 90 days. You and your guests can enjoy the outstanding amenities like a party room, theatre room and rooftop deck with a heated pool. Naturally a parking space conveys, and there are 2 extra storage units for your longer term repository needs. The Walkscore of 97 means it's a walker's paradise! Amazingly, Trader Joe's is in the same building complex, and you can get to it without going outside! George Washington University and Medical Center, Whole Foods, Foggy Bottom metro, and a host of retail options are all within a 10 minute stroll. A few more minutes by foot finds you in Georgetown, Washington Harbour, Rock Creek Park, the Potomac River and much more. And when you do need to travel by car, you're close to major arteries like I-66 and Rock Creek Parkway. It's utter perfection and happiness at The Columbia!
