1930 18th St NW

SOHO in Dupont!! Large, elegant, modern, and light-filled English basement condo unit with 9ft+ ceilings. Two large bedrooms with two baths in a historic brick building constructed in Beaux-Arts architecture style. The kitchen, living and dining areas have been remodeled with a completely open design ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. This very large unit (1600+ sq ft. ) is unique as it has two entrances. Private entrance to unit from the 18th street courtyard as well as a second private entrance from Florida Avenue provides complete privacy with no interference from other units in the building and safe exits in any emergency. Additionally, the convenience of being classified as both Residential and Commercial zoning makes the condo suitable for an office, a residence or a combination of both. This unit offers a rare opportunity for actually living in a historical landmark building. The building was entered into the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 for its historical significance as well as distinctive architectural style. An extraordinarily large open area near the main entrance provides multiple options for entertainment and recreation. A spacious open courtyard is easily accessible to the unit just across the main entrance. The community rooftop offers a spectacular all around view of the Washington skyline. During renovation in 1989, the interior was gutted, leaving only the floor structures, and reconstructed with fire resistant material and other safety measures. The exterior of the building was renovated in accordance with Department of Interior Historic Register requirements, and the facade of the building was restored as closely as possible to its original appearance. Two separate heating and cooling systems allow flexibility to achieve differentiable settings for maximum user comfort. A new energy efficient water heater was installed last year. In-unit full size washer and dryer in the den adds further convenience.
