Developed by Adbo and designed by Cunningham | Quill Architects, Wooster and Mercer Lofts is a highly desirable condominium community located in Arlington’s Rosslyn neighborhood. The Wooster building offers 52 units while The Mercer is home to 35. The brick construction has an industrial chic warehouse vibe, with giant factory-style windows, exposed ductwork and repurposed 140 year-old brick accents that were taken from a former DC convent known as the Little Sisters of the Poor.
There was one new listing at Wooster and Mercer in October. Priced at $1,195,000, Unit #W206 has two bedrooms, two baths, and 1.642 square feet of living space. The warehouse-style accents are on full display with exposed ductwork in the living areas and bedrooms, wide-plank flooring with a rustic tone, and brick accents. A huge Great Room area includes living, dining, and cooking space with giant factory windows. The open gourmet kitchen is set against a single wall, with an extended island, granite counters, glass-front cabinetry, and Wolfe and Sub-Zero stainless steel appliances. Both bedrooms are quite spacious, with an owners’ suite that includes a walk-in closet/dressing room, and an attached bath with a twin sink vanity and a large frameless shower.
