The building at 1501 W. Virginia Ave. NE, in D.C.’s Trinidad neighborhood, was a church before it was redeveloped into three condominium units. The two available units, 2 and 3, look and live like townhouses, each with a separate entrance and three floors of living space. A third unit, which is already sold, is at ground level.

Both available units have an open-concept first level with great room, kitchen, and living and dining space. Each has two bedrooms on the second level, as well as a primary bedroom suite with walk-in closet and en suite bathroom on the third level. Real estate agent Stefan Rahimian said high-end appliances and materials were used throughout the units. Five layers of soundproofing were installed beneath hardwood flooring. The primary bedrooms have skylights and south-facing windows to maximize natural light. Two parking spaces are available for purchase separately. Grey Wood Effect Porcelain Tiles
