What This House Offers
Experience an extraordinary blend of history, luxury, and modern living at The Walter Reed Mansion Penthouse. Originally constructed in 1910 to serve military... officers and their families associated with the nearby Walter Reed Army Medical Center, The Mansion has stood as one of Washington's most distinguished residences for more than 125 years. Thoughtfully reimagined for today's lifestyle, this iconic landmark now offers a one-of-a-kind luxury rental opportunity. Spanning nearly 3,000 square feet across two levels, the Penthouse lives like a private home in the sky. Offering 4 to 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, multiple living and entertaining spaces, and exceptional storage throughout, it provides a level of space, privacy, and flexibility rarely found in luxury rentals throughout Washington. Every finish, system, and structural component has been comprehensively updated, including new windows, flooring, HVAC, electrical, kitchen, and bathrooms. Historic charm blends effortlessly with sophisticated contemporary design, creating a residence that feels both timeless and completely turnkey. At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed chef's kitchen featuring premium appliances—including a built-in espresso machine—custom cabinetry, porcelain countertops, and an oversized eat-in banquet. A dramatic glass wine display serves as a striking architectural centerpiece, while the expansive living and dining rooms provide an ideal setting for everyday living and entertaining alike. The main level also features a private office, powder room, laundry room, and an impressive primary suite complete with a 130-square-foot walk-in closet and a spa-inspired ensuite bathroom. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms—or three bedrooms and a spacious flex room—offer endless possibilities for guest accommodations, additional office space, a media room, fitness studio, or playroom, complemented by two full bathrooms and abundant storage. Situated within The Parks at Walter Reed, residents enjoy immediate access to Whole Foods Market, neighborhood restaurants, retail, approximately 20 acres of public green space, community gathering spaces, and the scenic trails of Rock Creek Park. The community seamlessly blends historic architecture with one of Washington's most exciting mixed-use destinations. The lease includes one garage parking space, additional parking directly in front of the building, and complimentary monthly professional cleaning of the Penthouse residence. Furnishings are also available, offering the opportunity for a fully turnkey living experience. Need even more room? A completely separate 1,700+ square foot flex space on the main level is also available for lease. Ideal for a private office, creative studio, business headquarters, wellness space, or additional entertaining area, it offers the rare opportunity to create an exceptional live-work environment within The Walter Reed Mansion. For those seeking historic character without sacrificing modern luxury, The Walter Reed Mansion Penthouse delivers an unparalleled lifestyle—combining the scale of a single-family home, the convenience of luxury condominium living, and the prestige of one of Washington's most iconic historic residences.
