Crescent Place #604 is a spacious top-floor home with approximately 1,166 SF, 9-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, and west-facing windows overlooking Northwest Washington and the National Cathedral. Although a one-bedroom, the apartment’s flexible layout provides options that are increasingly hard to find.
A proper foyer opens to two generously sized main rooms. The dining room is nearly 18 feet long, with handsome built-ins and enough space to combine living and dining areas. The adjoining living room, with its decorative fireplace and western views, could then be used as a den, home office, or occasional second bedroom. Wonderful afternoon light carries through both rooms.
The windowed kitchen offers extensive cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and generous counter space. A separate pantry provides even more storage, along with a built-in workspace. The large bedroom has three west-facing windows and a walk-in closet. There is also a full bath, a hall closet, and a dedicated storage area on the first floor. The residence’s double pane windows and dual zone HVAC systems were installed in 2021.
The setting is a large part of what makes 1661 Crescent Place special. The street curves past the grounds of Meridian International Center and the historic White-Meyer House before arriving at one of Washington’s most distinguished residential buildings. Colorful perennial gardens line the walkway beneath the portico and into the grand landmark lobby. Reimagined in 2020, the reception area pairs classical architecture with renewed sophistication, framed by stately Palladian windows and doors overlooking the building’s gardens.
Residents enjoy a 24-hour front desk, a roof deck with panoramic city views, bicycle storage, community laundry facilities, and additional storage. Central air conditioning and heat are included in the monthly co-op fee, and dogs and cats are welcome in the community.
The location brings together the best of Adams Morgan, Mount Pleasant, and the 14th and U Street corridors. Meridian Hill Park and Harris Teeter are close by, along with an impressive selection of restaurants, cafés, shops, and neighborhood conveniences. The U Street Metro station, serving the Green and Yellow lines, is approximately 0.8 mile away, while nearby 16th Street bus routes provide convenient access downtown.
