Perched above the tree-lined streets of Kalorama, this penthouse-level studio at Schuyler Arms Condominium pairs timeless charm with thoughtful updates and sweeping southern views. Newly refinished hardwood floors lead into a light-filled living space framed by oversized windows overlooking the city, from downtown to Capitol Hill. Previously home to an architect, the residence has been intelligently designed to live far beyond its footprint. An elevated built-in sleeping platform captures the view while incorporating generous storage drawers below; custom cabinetry creates separation from the main living area and adds even more practical storage. The windowed kitchen has been refreshed with new countertops, backsplash, stove, cabinet hardware, and paint. The windowed bath offers a calming blend of modern updates and original character. Low condominium fees, dedicated basement storage, and a rooftop terrace just steps from the front door make this an exceptional opportunity for flexible, convenient city living in one of DC’s most desirable neighborhoods.
Washington Heights Historic District, located between Rock Creek Park and Connecticut Avenue NW, is a historic and residential Washington neighborhood with early-20th-century rowhouses and leafy, sloped streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Connecticut Avenue NW at Albemarle Street NW, where sidewalk cafes, independent boutiques, and low-key restaurants line the corridor. Landmark The Avalon Theatre and Politics and Prose Bookstore act as cultural anchors, with Comet Ping Pong adding a local hangout. Brick facades, bay windows, and deep front porches set a consistent architectural rhythm. Trails and overlooks in nearby Rock Creek Park shape daily routines. Metro access at Cleveland Park keeps commutes streamlined without changing the calm street grid.
