Open Sunday 1/18 1pm-3pm. Set the DC standard for timeless urban character. Welcome to the Ontario at 2853 Ontario Road NW #316, a two-bed, one-bath home with 1,100+ square feet that exemplifies what it means to live in the city today. Past the Beaux-Arts exterior, #316 is a standout home with heart pine floors, a decorative fireplace, windows on three sides, Jeffersonian pocket windows that open onto an iron balcony, and soaring 10-foot ceilings crowned with moldings that evoke a bygone era. It is also practical–with central A/C, in-unit W/ D, available on-site rental parking, upgraded appliances, an ample pantry, and a Scandi social kitchen. The airy living and dining rooms flow seamlessly together, creating a connected space that’s as dynamic as it is welcoming. Throughout the home, sunlight streams in through six-foot, double-paned windows, highlighting the architectural detail inside along with the striking outdoor vistas. Two bedrooms offer gorgeous views of the cityscape and the building's extensive three acres of manicured grounds. Steps away, the generous bathroom showcases hand-painted tile, a sleek vanity, and a jetted tub and shower. The washer and dryer are perfectly tucked away. Complementing everything #316 already has to offer is the Ontario itself. From the seven-day front desk to the panoramic rooftop deck, the state-of-the-art fitness center, the summer pavilion, the herb garden, and shared social room, the Ontario anticipates what you need. Additional perks for residents include pet-friendly policies, available rental parking, extra storage and neighbor-designed community events. Perched atop three private acres in the heart of Lanier Heights, the Ontario fuses timeless Beaux-Arts elegance with the energy of city living. Ideally located at the crossroads of Mount Pleasant, Adams Morgan, and Woodley Park, residents enjoy immediate access to cherished destinations. Wander through Rock Creek Park, visit the pandas at the National Zoo, get some fresh air at Walter Pierce Park, or shop for fresh seasonal produce at the weekly farmers' market. When you’re looking to dine out, the neighborhood’s vibrant restaurant scene offers something for every palate, with Reveler’s Hour, Elle, and Lapis standing out as local favorites. And when the rest of the city beckons, two Metro stations (red and green lines) are just a short walk away. This is a home that doesn’t compromise on location, amenities, or character. It's the ultimate place to start your next chapter.
JUST LISTED. Vacant & Staged. The Ontario 316 is a premiere apartment home in one of Washington's Best Addresses. This extraordinary two bedroom, one bath 1121 SF residence is a dream home for those with a discerning design eye: exposures on three sides, paired Jeffersonian pocket windows opening onto an handsome iron balcony, 10-foot ceilings, crowned with hefty moldings - just one of many original architectural details that pay homage to the building's storied history. The living and dining rooms open onto one another and allow the rooms to work as one grand gathering spot or two singular, intimate spaces. Six foot, double-paned windows throughout allow profuse natural light to saturate each space and highlight crisp white walls that provide the perfect backdrop for an art collection and the magnificent outdoor vistas. The spacious social kitchen with ample counters, open shelving and abundant cabinetry is certain to delight amicable chefs who love cooking among friends and family. The bedrooms echo the aesthetic found in the living and dining areas with their mix of white walls and original woodwork as well as its wealth of windows with a photographer's view of the iconic Ontario cupola, mature trees and neighboring rowhomes. Referred to as one of the city's grandest dames of architecture and tradition, the Beaux Arts Ontario building represents quintessential DC apartment living. Mostly owner-occupied, this turn-of-the-century, six-story building opened in 1905. Sited on three leafy acres, with two courtyards and a stone pathway surrounding the perimeter of the building, Ontario residents enjoy a park-like setting in the center of the city. Located in Lanier Heights, on the corner of Ontario Road and 18th Streets, NW, the Ontario sits in a quiet corner of Washington's diverse and dynamic Adams Morgan neighborhood. Two blocks from Columbia Road, the Ontario is just steps to Metro stations, green spaces, grocery stores, popular retail destinations, coffee or cocktails at The Line hotel and meals at Tail Up Goat, Mintwood Place Restaurant or Elle, some of the city's finest Michelin Star restaurants. On-site rental parking available from $100/mo
