Remember when penthouses were squalid structures? Of course, you don’t.

The $10.5 million price tag makes it one of the most expensive properties currently for sale in the area, according to a recent story in the Washington Business Journal. Listing agent Zelda Heller says the price should come as no surprise for the “caliber, size and quality” of the 9,129-square-foot condo. “What’s unusual is that this has come on the market,” Heller says.

The four-bedroom, nine-bathroom floor plan is full of exquisite details and furnishings.

The residence has four bedrooms and nine bathrooms (six full bathrooms). Furnishings and bespoke finishes, such as a stained glass skylight, wood-paneled library and niches decorated with hand-painted murals, suggest a European-style decor.
