Description

There’s only one place in Washington that’s truly the prime West End power address. Where walls of glass meet open sky. A place defined by light, luxury, and an effortless rhythm of city living. This is Residence 53.

Where entertaining can happen at scale—indoors or above the skyline.
As one of the few coveted corner residences in Westlight, Residence 53 offers an unmatched sense of openness and privacy. Triple-glazed floor-to-ceiling window walls—rated at an impressive Sound Transmission Class (STC) 42, quieter than most airports—wrap the home in natural light and frame sweeping city and treetop views. Each window is fitted with custom automatic shades for precision light control. Wide-plank natural oak floors ground the space, while the fluid open layout invites effortless entertaining. The kitchen balances form and function with Italian high-gloss cabinetry, quartzite countertops, and integrated Bosch and Thermador appliances. Natural-gas cooking vents directly to the outside—an uncommon luxury in city residences.

Where privacy and serenity define every bedroom retreat.
Each of the three bedrooms is a sanctuary lit through those same acoustically superior windows with custom shades. The primary suite offers blackout shades for the most luxurious sleep. Generous closets including a custom walk-in, and a spa-inspired bath featuring Waterworks fixtures and a teak-slatted shower floor round out the spacious suite.

Where wellness and design work in perfect harmony.
LEED Gold certified, Westlight provides HEPA-grade fresh air and near-silent interiors—a rare standard of urban wellness. The dramatic lobby, anchored by a 50-foot living green wall, sets a tranquil tone the moment you arrive.

Where service is both white-glove and intuitive.
Residents enjoy 24/7 concierge, doorman, porter, and onsite engineer services. Amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center with Peloton and Technogym equipment, dog-wash station, and bicycle storage. Residence 53 conveys with two private, controlled-access garage spaces near the e-charging station and a secure storage space.

Where life rises above the city.
Unwind or entertain atop D.C.’s only 25-meter rooftop pool, complete with grill terrace and clubroom with catering kitchen. With Michelin-guide dining (Nobu, Blue Duck Tavern, Rasika), the Kennedy Center, Downtown, and Dupont art galleries just blocks away, Westlight 53 (5-C) isn’t just a home—it’s a lifestyle statement.
