Condo for rent in Ordway Gardens, Cleveland Park DC. The parquet hardwood floors are newly refinished, providing unmatched shine and luster (no carpet). It is unfurnished but includes all kitchen appliances (including quiet Bosch dishwasher) and clothes washer and dryer inside the unit. Central heat and AC controlled in unit.
It is a small private three-floor building that feels like a home, with electronic/video building entry or use a key. On the first floor of the building, up half a floor from sidewalk level so it is private and people cannot see in. The view is onto trees and lawn. There are 8 large windows giving plenty of natural light (windows on 3 sides), recently replaced so weather-tight and efficient. The windows have shutters of solid wood that can be opened or closed in any combination. Full closets in the entryway, hallway, and bedroom.
Private parking is in a numbered space behind the building. Permitted street parking is also available. A perk of the group of buildings is that trash is picked-up outside your unit door M-F morning in addition to the normal disposal area being available all the time.
We will not refuse to rent a rental unit to a person because the person will provide the rental payment, in whole or in part, through a voucher for rental housing assistance provided by the District or federal government.
About the area:
It is an amazing location 2 min. walk to Cleveland Park metro station and only one block from cafes, grocery stores, restaurants, a full post office, newly built public library, and movie theater, including Yes Organic Market, Firehook Bakery/Coffeeshop, Spices, Vace, California Tortilla, and many more. Despite all of the great things to do and eat nearby, it is a very quiet street, and inside the unit it is quiet and relaxing.
The metro is a block away (red line) and it is easy to walk to the National Zoo and the Mervin Hazen Park hiking trail which merges with Rock Creek Park for hiking and bicycle trails. It takes about a half hour to bike to the Mall and downtown and 20 minutes to walk to the National Cathedral.
The condo complex is very environmentally friendly and recently installed solar panels on its rooftop that feed back into the grid. Over the past ten years the association replaced most of its landscaping with varieties that are native to the DC area. There are a few garden plots for residents on the grounds; you could get one next summer. The Audubon Society has studied the grounds as a model of urban landscaping that works well for birds.
Available immediately but we will consider later dates too, 6 month or 1 year lease. Owner pays for gas, water, trash. Tenant pays electric, internet, cable.
