Description of 3401 38th St #609-402, Washington, DC 20016
Listing details for 3401 38th St #609-402, Washington, DC 20016 : An open kitchen flows into a living room framed by generous windows, and the effect is immediate — this two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath home at Vaughan Place settles around you with a quiet sense of ease. At 900 square feet, the layout makes every square foot count, moving naturally from the entry through an open floor plan designed for both everyday living and easy entertaining.
The kitchen anchors the space in the way a good kitchen should. Upgraded countertops and stainless steel appliances — refrigerator, stove, microwave, dishwasher, and even an ice maker — are ready for a weeknight dinner or a slow Sunday morning. A range hood keeps things fresh while the disposal handles the cleanup. Window treatments filter the light to whatever mood the day calls for, and the open plan means the cook is never cut off from the conversation happening in the living room just a few steps away.
Both bedrooms offer walk-in closet space that makes organization genuinely simple, and the entry-level bedroom adds flexibility for guests, a home office setup, or whatever the next chapter of daily life requires. The half bath adds the kind of practical convenience that becomes invisible in the best way — you only notice it when it isn't there. And because the washer and dryer are in-unit, laundry fits into the routine without ever requiring a trip downstairs or a pocketful of quarters.
The community surrounding this home carries its own rhythm. Vaughan Place is a gated property, which adds a layer of security and calm to coming and going. Elevators serve the building, parking is available via an attached garage and surface lot, and the fitness center means a workout is measured in steps rather than a commute. The pool and picnic area offer an easy transition from the workday to something slower, and the clubhouse, game room, and meeting room give residents spaces to gather, work remotely, or simply extend the apartment into the building around them. A dog park rounds out the community for residents with pets — cats and dogs are welcome here, subject to a deposit, breed restrictions, and a number limit.
The rhythm of Washington, DC wraps around everything else. Errands, restaurants, green space, and the energy of a capital city neighborhood are part of what it means to live here, and the daily routine — coffee, commute, dinner, repeat — finds a natural cadence when the home itself runs smoothly. When everything from the laundry to the parking to the fitness routine lives within the same well-maintained community, the margin between a hectic day and a good one gets noticeably wider. This is a home that works the way a home should, quietly and well, every single day. Pricing and availability subject to change on a daily basis. Photos are of model units. Parking may be available subject to availability and may be an additional fee.
