Description:

Welcome to this beautifully maintained 1,100 square foot, top-floor 1 Bedroom + Den residence, ideally situated on a quiet, tree-lined one-way street in one of Washington, DC’s most architecturally distinguished neighborhoods. This light-filled home seamlessly blends historic character with thoughtful modern updates. Refinished hardwood floors, fresh paint, updated lighting, and classic architectural details create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. West-facing windows bathe the home in natural light and offer sweeping views across Northwest DC, including sightlines to the Washington National Cathedral. Newly installed central air conditioning adds a level of modern comfort rarely found in residences of this era. One of the most compelling features of this home is its flexible den, which was originally designed as a true second bedroom. It can easily be converted back, creating a private and spacious second bedroom ideal for guests. As currently configured, it offers versatility as a home office or secondary living space. With the addition of a Murphy bed or daybed, it could easily become an effortless multi-functional room that adapts to your needs without sacrificing style or comfort. A charming butler’s pantry, built-in shelving, and generous closet space add both elegance and functionality throughout. Located within the highly regarded Crescent Place Cooperative, one of DC’s “Best Addresses,” residents enjoy an impressive suite of amenities including 24-hour concierge service, one assigned garage parking space, private storage, and on-site laundry. A shared rooftop terrace offers panoramic city views, while three beautifully landscaped gardens provide peaceful outdoor retreats. The building is known for its welcoming community and attentive management. The monthly co-op fee includes property taxes, water, and heat, offering simplified ownership and predictable monthly costs. A unique financial advantage of this unit is the flexibility surrounding the underlying mortgage of approximately $76,000. Buyers have the option to keep this financing in place at an attractive 5% interest rate, reducing the cash needed at closing, or request that the seller pay off the underlying mortgage at settlement for a more straightforward financing structure. Perfectly positioned just steps from Meridian Hill Park and within easy walking distance to Dupont Circle, neighborhood cafés, and cultural destinations. Across the street are two renowned John Russell Pope–designed landmarks, providing a historic and architecturally significant backdrop. Whether used as a full-time residence or an elegant pied-à-terre, this home offers a rare combination of flexibility, charm, financial optionality, and convenience in one of Washington’s most distinctive cooperative buildings.
