Description of 3401 38th St #T05-202, Washington, DC 20016
Listing details for 3401 38th St #T05-202, Washington, DC 20016 : Tucked into a well-appointed corner of the building, this one-bedroom, one-bathroom residence at Vaughan Place invites you to slow down and settle in. At 800 square feet, the open floor plan gives the space a generous, breathable quality — the kind that makes a home feel larger than its footprint suggests. Natural light filters through window-treated glass, landing across upgraded countertops in a kitchen that is genuinely built for daily life. Stainless steel appliances line the workspace: a full-size refrigerator with ice maker, a stove and range hood, a dishwasher, a microwave, and a garbage disposal. Everything a working kitchen needs is already here, arranged so that the act of cooking dinner or packing a lunch feels unhurried and easy.
The open layout means the kitchen flows naturally into the living area, so whether you are hosting a friend or stretching out alone after a long day, the space adapts around you. A walk-in closet anchors the bedroom, giving you the kind of storage that actually changes how you feel about coming home. The in-unit washer and dryer — no basement trips, no quarters — round out the everyday comforts that make the routine run smoothly.
Beyond the front door, the community amenities are genuinely worth your time. The fitness center is the kind of space that makes it easier to keep a promise to yourself — convenient enough that there is no reason not to stop in. When you want something more social, the clubhouse and game room offer a change of scenery without leaving the building. The meeting room is there for the days when working from home means you still need a professional backdrop. Outside, the picnic area offers a place to decompress in the open air, and the pool gives warm-weather evenings a destination. For residents with dogs or cats, the on-site dog park means your pet gets outdoor time without negotiating city sidewalks alone. The gated community and on-site security provide a settled, grounded sense of place. Parking is available in the attached garage and on the parking lot, so whether you drive daily or just keep a car for weekend trips, you are covered.
Vaughan Place sits within Washington, DC, a city where the rhythm of daily life is shaped as much by neighborhood character as by the broader urban energy around it.

The convenience of DC's transit infrastructure means that a car-free or car-light lifestyle is genuinely viable, with the broader Metro network connecting you to the city's corridors of work, dining, and culture. Whether your commute takes you downtown or across the district, the connections are there.
This is a home that works across all the seasons of a life in DC — quiet enough to think, close enough to everything to feel connected.

If this is the kind of home you have been picturing, it is worth a closer look. Pricing and availability subject to change on a daily basis. Photos are of model units.
