Overview

Welcome to 2138 California St NW #505, a sun-soaked, top-floor retreat tucked into the heart of Kalorama, one of DC’s most enchanting and elegant neighborhoods. This 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom condo offers the best of historic charm and modern updates in a beautifully maintained Beaux Arts building. From the moment you step inside, you’ll feel the calm that comes with being perched among the trees and surrounded by architectural beauty. The open-concept living space is designed for both comfort and connection. A fully renovated kitchen with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and custom cabinetry flows into the living and dining area, anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace. Hardwood floors and tall ceilings add to the sense of warmth and airiness. Step out onto your private balcony to take in the sunrise over leafy views - there’s plenty of space for a bistro table and your morning coffee ritual. The oversized bedroom is a true sanctuary, offering space for a desk or reading nook, plus generous closet space. The bathroom has a smart layout, with a separate area for the tub and sink that’s ideal for busy mornings. You’ll love the modern conveniences that make life easy: in-unit washer and dryer, central AC, and move-in-ready updates throughout. And then there’s the neighborhood - Kalorama. It’s quiet, refined, and rich with history, yet a stone’s throw from everything. Mitchell Park is around the corner for afternoon picnics or dog walks, and the Kalorama Market just downstairs is a beloved neighborhood staple. Stroll to Dupont Circle, grab dinner at one of DC’s top restaurants, or hop on the Metro. Life here offers the rare balance of peaceful retreat and vibrant city living.
