Listing details for 1205 N St NW #C, Washington, DC 20005 : OFFERS DUE BY 5:00PM SUNDAY, MARCH 17TH. Logan Circle reached the height of its aesthetic achievement in the years spanning the last quarter of the 19th century. It was during this time that the development of two complementary architectural styles emerged which embodied the aspirations of a newly affluent middle class. This part of the neighborhood showcases the most important examples of these two styles: Italianate and Second Empire. Both share many similar features, so much so that it is occasionally difficult to distinguish one from the other.The combination of mansard roofs, layered exterior details including enriched door surrounds, cornices, and arched windows are clear expressions of both of these architectural idioms. The increase in Logan Circle s popularity during the last two decades has helped inspire a renewed interest in the preservation and conservation of historic styles, in addition to supporting residential development that is consonant with the fabric of the neighborhood.This unit is located in a townhouse-style project that was built in 1989 as a modern interpretation of the 19th-century styles found throughout the neighborhood. It is sympathetic to the earlier historical styles while offering an opportunity to live in a contemporary way on a quiet block of this vibrant neighborhood.Set back from the street, this townhouse takes part in a neat and rhythmic harmony with its elegant neighbors. One enters on the piano nobile and is welcomed into a spacious and modern interior illuminated by natural light. An open living space offering two bedrooms and a full bathroom provide more space than is common in most condominiums of this type in the city. In keeping with its 19th-century neighbors, the living room has a working, wood-burning fireplace and high ceilings. The association offers a gated rear terrace that provides for outdoor cooking and dining. The unit includes the added convenience of one parking space.What made Logan Circle an appealing location and desirable address during its halcyon days was its proximity to other fashionable neighborhoods. That same sensibility is evident today. Set at the crossroads of historic restorations of three other important districts comprising Dupont Circle, Shaw, and the U Street corridor, it is a short walk to retail and dining along the 14th Street corridor, Metro, and City Market at O Street.
