Description:

Set within the iconic Dresden, this beautifully scaled residence offers a rare blend of timeless architecture and refined, modern livability, delivering a sense of volume and elegance that far exceeds its footprint. A gracious foyer unfolds into an expansive, light-filled living room anchored by a decorative fireplace, framed by oversized windows, and detailed with elegant millwork, creating a sophisticated yet inviting setting for both everyday living and entertaining. The layout flows seamlessly to a dedicated dining area, ideal for intimate dinners or larger gatherings, while the adjacent kitchen offers generous cabinetry, gas cooking, and a highly functional design with the flexibility to personalize over time. Privately tucked away, the primary bedroom serves as a true retreat, easily accommodating a king-sized bed along with additional seating or workspace, and enhanced by custom built-ins, ample closet storage, and an en-suite bath with classic, enduring finishes. High ceilings, graceful architectural lines, and abundant natural light elevate the home throughout, allowing it to live far larger than its approximately 874 square feet. Built in 1909 by renowned developer Harry Wardman in the Georgian Revival style, The Dresden is one of Washington’s storied “Best Addresses,” offering a restored marble lobby, staffed front desk, panoramic rooftop deck with sweeping city views, dedicated storage, convenient on-site laundry facilities, a fitness room, and beautifully maintained common areas. Ideally positioned along Connecticut Avenue in Kalorama, the residence places you among grand historic buildings and tree-lined streets, just moments from Rock Creek Park, Dupont Circle, and a vibrant array of dining, shopping, and cultural destinations, creating a lifestyle defined by convenience, character, and enduring sophistication.
