$600,000

Welcome to one of Naval Square’s most extraordinary residences! This rare penthouse condominium, offering over $60,000 in thoughtful upgrades, is one of only two coveted Stockdale models in the entire community. Located within historic Biddle Hall, Naval Square’s iconic and architecturally significant 18th-century landmark, this two-bedroom, one-bath home seamlessly blends timeless character with modern sophistication. A charming veranda entrance leads into a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring classic shaker-style cabinetry, sleek granite countertops, and a stainless-steel appliance suite, including an upgraded Samsung refrigerator. The open living and dining area is enhanced by upgraded recessed lighting and flows effortlessly onto a private terrace overlooking the lush, tree-lined parade grounds—an ideal setting for morning coffee or evening cocktails. The upper level is highlighted by a serene and sun-drenched owner’s suite, showcasing striking windows adorned with custom plantation shutters. This inviting retreat offers an expansive walk-in closet with custom built-ins and a gracious sitting area accented by a ceiling fan. A spacious second bedroom, also filled with natural light, provides ample closet space and versatility for guests or a home office. Dramatic skylights flood the space with exceptional natural light throughout this entire level. The completely renovated spa-inspired bathroom features dual vanities with built-in medicine cabinets, marble countertops, and a beautifully tiled, oversized walk-in shower. A stacked LG washer / dryer (2020) is conveniently located on this level. Significant capital improvements provide peace of mind, including a full HVAC system replacement (air handler and condenser) in 2020 and hot water heater in 2017. The association replaced all upper windows (excluding the top transom) in 2016 and the homeowner replaced lower-level windows in 2020. In August 2024, a full roof repair/ replacement was completed in Biddle Hall and funded by the Naval Square Association. Storage is abundant, with a private storage locker in the building, an expanded coat closet tucked beneath the staircase, and an additional oversized closet on the upper level. Deeded parking space #P-55 is conveniently located just outside the front entrance and accessible directly via the elevator. Enjoy the ease of having the heater outdoor pool & state-of-the-art fitness center less than a minute walk from your building and the concierge close by. You’ll also love the convenience of having an Amazon Locker station right in the community. The dramatic community room in Biddle Hall rotunda is perfect to reserve for private parties. Enjoy the outdoor amenities of the 20-acre park-like setting: including picnic areas, well-kept gardens & mature landscaping.
