Known for moving DC’s staid architectural “scene” forward with exciting and creative designs, DITTO Residential has built some of the city’s finest small-scale condominiums. 625 5th Street NE is one of these properties. The look is a clean and timeless but contemporary aesthetic exemplified by sweeping lines, high ceilings, and ample glazing that produce a soothing environment. Unit 1 is a quite large (1900SF) two bedroom and den, two and one-half bathroom home that is spread across two levels. The floorplan is one of an open concept, but owing to a kitchen with an expansive island located in the center, it offers versatility in layout and use. The sizable primary suite offers a luxurious space with access to a verdant patio, a spa-like double-vanity bath, and walk-in closet. The second bedroom and den are serviced by another high-end bath that is accessible off a wide hall. This home allows for seamless living in a location that is unrivaled. On a quiet block, the home is shielded from the hustle and bustle of traffic, but is located in the heart of it all - private off-street parking means you will never be encumbered by the popularity of your neighborhood. Whole Foods, Giant, myriad dining/drinking/caffeinating establishments, transit (METRO, Amtrak, bus, streetcar, etc.) options, and parks are all within blocks. This home is not to be missed. 10/10.
