About This Home

In a neighborhood that’s always had a pulse, this Columbia Heights condo gives you the calm you want at home, with the city’s best parts a short walk away. Inside, hardwood floors carry you through an easy, livable layout, and large windows bring in the kind of daylight that makes the place feel awake even in winter. The kitchen is clean and practical, with generous cabinet storage, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar that works for coffee, dinner, or the endless life admin we all pretend we enjoy. A private balcony adds breathing room, and the building offers shared roof access and bicycle parking, because DC is a city that rewards people who actually go outside. Step out and you’re in the orbit of 14th Street’s restaurants, shops, and the Metro. Within a few minutes you can do “real life” errands without turning it into a project: grab brunch or a late coffee at The Coupe, make a dinner plan at Thip Khao, or meet friends for a bottle in the garden at St. Vincent Wine. For essentials, DC USA keeps it simple with Target and more retail right by the Metro. The neighborhood has a real cultural backbone too: the historic Tivoli Theatre, now home to GALA Hispanic Theatre, anchors the corridor, and the area’s story includes famous residents like Duke Ellington, who once owned a home right here in Columbia Heights, and author Jean Toomer, who wrote about growing up on these same streets. It’s the kind of place where the city feels layered, not manufactured. **Key details** * Water included (resident pays electric + gas) * Private balcony + shared roof access * Hardwood floors, large windows, stainless kitchen with breakfast bar * Pets welcome; street parking available * Building move-in/move-out deposit applies ($200 per move; $100 returned if no common-area damage) * Security deposit: one month’s rent * Near Columbia Heights Metro (Green/Yellow) Bicycle Parking Common Roof Gas Stove Oven Washer/Dryer Water
