New price! This beautifully updated and maintained 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom co-op on the 3rd floor captures serene treetop views and is filled with original character that sets it apart. The apartment is over 1,300 sqft and retains its original hardwood floors, graceful archways, pocket doors, and all original doors and trim; preserving an authenticity that is rare to find today. Modern upgrades throughout, including in-unit laundry, luxury kitchen, spa-like bathroom, and bespoke light fixtures. Two large walk-in hallway closets offer exceptional storage. The spacious primary bedroom comfortably accommodates a king-size bed with its own oversized walk-in closet. The unit also comes with a large storage locker in the basement.
This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Washington, DC history in one of the District's most coveted addresses. Featured in Goode's Best Addresses, The Mendota is the District's oldest luxury apartment building and the first apartment building constructed in Kalorama Triangle, sitting at the corner of 20th Street and Kalorama Road. Built in 1901 in the grand Beaux-Arts style, it has been meticulously preserved to maintain its early 20th-century charm, and stands as a significant example of the boom in luxury apartment construction that took place in Washington, D.C. to accommodate the city's growing need for upscale housing. A walk through the elegant lobby and a ride on the building's vintage elevator offer residents a genuine glimpse into this building's rich and storied past.
Beyond the front door, you'll find yourself perfectly positioned between two of DC's most beloved neighborhoods. The Mendota is within easy walking distance of the Woodley Park Metro Station, and Dupont Circle on the Red Line is just ten minutes to the south — making the entire city effortlessly accessible. The surrounding Kalorama and Adams Morgan neighborhoods offer an extraordinary quality of life, with Kalorama Park's three acres of gardens and green space and the trails of nearby Rock Creek Park just moments away. The diverse dining scene is exceptional, including Lapis (Afgan) and Perry’s (Japanese) alongside beloved neighborhood staples like Tryst and the iconic Madam's Organ, a live music and blues bar that has anchored the neighborhood's nightlife for over two decades. With a farmers market, independent bookshops, boutique retail, and an endlessly walkable streetscape all outside your door, this is truly Washington living at its finest.
