Welcome to Unit #6 at 2000 16th Street NW, an elegant one-bedroom, one-bath residence located in the heart of Northwest DC’s most dynamic and walkable neighborhood. The historic Balfour is one of the smartest buys in all of Washington DC. Sought after for its stunning Beaux Arts period design, the building drips in character and resonates with community. The all marble lobby is grand yet warm and inviting. Outside you have lush landscaping and a circular driveway (easy to drop those groceries off, grab that Uber or Lyft, or mingle with your awesome neighbors!).
All interior hallways and common areas were redone in 2023. The building features a bike room and plenty of common storage space. The Balfour is renowned for its exceptional management, offering residents peace of mind and a beautifully maintained environment steeped in architectural character. Smart updates over the years (e.g. entire building was wired for FiOS, ensuring you never need to worry about connection or speed) and a 'no deferred maintenance' mentality of the BOD have resulted in exceptionally strong finances, no special assessments and much lower fees than most established, legacy condo regimes in the city. Lastly, but probably MOST importantly, the building is PET-FRIENDLY. :-)
Walking into the condo you will notice the extra high ceilings and the extra large bright sun-drenched windows that spread across the entire unit (BTW, the window sills are perfect for tons of plants, Mr. Kitty's bed, or your favorite art piece, you choose!). Newly painted walls, doors, and trim work plus brand-new flooring complement the unit’s bright and open layout. The kitchen (brand new refrigerator and stove!) is perfect for meal prep and cooking, with plenty of counter space and cabinet space. There's even pantry/storage space!
The spacious bedroom offers a quiet retreat, One of the standout features of this home is its abundant closet and storage space—a rare find in a one-bedroom city residence. With multiple closets, you’ll enjoy the kind of storage typically reserved for larger units.
But it’s not just the unit—it’s the location that truly sets this property apart. Perfectly positioned at the intersection of Dupont Circle, U Street, and Columbia Heights, this is a true Walker’s Paradise (Walk Score: 98). Enjoy 14th Street NW’s “Restaurant Row”, filled with top-tier dining, cafés, and nightlife, or unwind in the lush green spaces of Meridian Hill Park, just steps away.
Transit options are unbeatable with easy access to the U Street (Green/Yellow Line) and Dupont Circle (Red Line) Metro stations, multiple bus lines, and dedicated bike lanes. Whether you're commuting downtown, heading to the Hill, or exploring other parts of the city, getting around is effortless.
Grocery stores including Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and Harris Teeter are all nearby, along with boutique fitness studios, galleries, bookstores, and weekend farmers markets.
