Description of 1322 15th St, Washington, DC 20005
Listing details for 1322 15th St, Washington, DC 20005 : Situated on quiet, tree-lined 15th Street NW, this 1-bedroom condo puts you in the center of everything while keeping the hum of the city at bay. As a rear-facing unit on the third floor, you're set back from the street with a sense of privacy and calm that's hard to come by this close to the action.
Step inside the building and the character is immediate: a marble-and-mosaic lobby with a crystal chandelier, original wood-framed transom doors, and the kind of architectural detail that newer construction simply can't replicate. Upstairs, Unit 33 opens to a generous foyer with a double closet and classic five-panel doors throughout, details that speak to the craftsmanship of the original building circa 1960.
The living room is the heart of the home: sun-filled with 2 oversized windows, beautiful hardwood floors, and generous ceilings that give the space an open, airy quality. 2 dedicated mini-split systems provide individual climate control in both the living room and bedroom, so you're never at the mercy of a building-wide thermostat.
The bedroom is equally spacious, comfortably fitting a king-sized bed with room to spare, and features its own mini-split, two windows, and a closet. Brand new carpeting was just installed, and beneath it, original hardwood floors have been protected for years. A future owner could choose to resurface them for seamless hardwood floors throughout the unit. The home has been freshly painted from end to end. In the bathroom, a walk-in shower with floor-to-ceiling marble-look tile and chrome fixtures rounds out the space.
With gas cooking, generous cabinet storage, and its own window for natural light, the kitchen has good bones and a functional layout that just works. It's also the room with the most room to grow. A thoughtful kitchen update would elevate the entire unit.
Building amenities include an on-site laundry room and a sizable shared rear courtyard with outdoor seating and grilling.
But the greatest amenity is the address. You're a block and a half from Whole Foods, a block from Vida Fitness Logan Circle, and steps from Call Your Mother and the entire 14th Street restaurant and nightlife corridor. McPherson Square is your closest Metro station, crosstown buses run along P Street a block away, and local/express bus access on both 14th and 16th Street means you're connected to every corner of the city even without a car.
Perfectly suited for a first-time buyer ready to stop renting in one of DC's most sought-after neighborhoods, or an investor who recognizes the upside in a well-located home with room to add value, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of the Logan Circle-Dupont neighborhood in a building with real character, on a block that feels like you're in the heart of the city.
