This is the home that checks all your boxes, then casually adds a rooftop deck and off-street parking just to flex a little. Welcome to 408 M St NW Unit 4, a 2 bed, 2 bath penthouse in a boutique 4-unit building that combines upscale living with a location that’s pure DC gold. Inside, it’s all about thoughtful luxury—wide plank hardwood floors, tall ceilings, custom crown molding, and recessed lighting that brings the mood (and flatters in every mirror). The gourmet eat-in kitchen is loaded with granite countertops, Viking stainless steel appliances, and soft-close cabinetry—perfect whether you're actually cooking or just plating something that came in a to-go bag. The primary suite is no less than a retreat, featuring lighted coffered ceilings, serious closet space, and a spa-inspired ensuite bath with custom tile and luxe fixtures. Two private outdoor spaces, including a rooftop deck with city views, give you the kind of indoor-outdoor flow that’s usually reserved for vacation rentals. And yes—you get dedicated off-street parking (aka, freedom from street sweeping panic). But what really seals the deal is location. Walk Score: 97 (Walker’s Paradise) – daily errands don't require a car Transit Score: 92 – multiple Metro stations nearby, including Mt Vernon Sq/7th St-Convention Center and Shaw-Howard Univ Bike Score: 93 – excellent bike infrastructure Just blocks from CityCenterDC, Whole Foods, Blagden Alley, and local favorites like The Dabney, All Souls Bar, and Compass Coffee Quick access to I-395, I-695, and Route 50. Weekend getaway? Say less. This penthouse is turnkey, thoughtfully designed, and right in the center of it all. It’s for someone who loves luxury but lives real life. If that sounds like you, it’s time to schedule a showing—because listings like this don’t stay quiet for long.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
