What's around 303/2205 California Street Northwest

About this property

Welcome to Unit 303 at 2205 California St. NW—a truly special residence where historic grandeur meets refined modern living. From the moment you step through the original grand entry door, you���re greeted by soaring 9-foot ceilings, rich architectural details, and incredible natural light streaming through 10 oversized windows. This beautifully reimagined 3-bedroom, 2-bath home also features a charming private patio, deeded parking (1 car), secure storage, and reasonable condo fee ($877/month). A meticulous, top-to-bottom renovation by architect Mina Marefat of Design Research brings a fresh, sophisticated vision to the space—blending timeless character with high-end finishes, comfort, and functionality throughout. A Home Designed to Impress Chef’s Kitchen The open-concept kitchen is both stunning and functional, featuring premium Bosch appliances, sleek quartz countertops, custom cabinetry with soft-close drawers, and striking porcelain tile flooring. A rounded island creates the perfect gathering space, while thoughtful design details—like a hand-carved walnut wine rack and custom metal vent covers—add warmth and personality. Seamless Living & Entertaining The kitchen flows effortlessly into the dining and living areas, creating a bright, inviting space ideal for entertaining. The dining room features recessed lighting and custom built-ins, while the living room is anchored by a beautiful bay of windows that fills the space with natural light. Spa-Inspired Bathrooms Both bathrooms offer a serene, spa-like experience with designer tilework, walk-in glass showers, smart Toto toilets, and illuminated mirrors with integrated Bluetooth. Flexible Third Bedroom + Private Balcony A rare find in condo living, the third bedroom offers its own private outdoor access through a reinforced glass door. Whether used as a bedroom, office, or library, this space is as versatile as it is unique—complete with a stained glass transom for added charm. Upgrades Throughout New oak hardwood floors with sound-insulating underlayment, recessed lighting, a statement chandelier, upgraded electrical and HVAC (2021), wall mounted fireplace, and a full-size stacked washer/dryer ensure both beauty, convenience, and peace of mind. Iconic Building, Unmatched Setting Set within the historic California House (1905), this residence is part of one of Washington’s most distinguished Beaux-Arts buildings. Known for its stately façade, elegant symmetry, and timeless appeal, the building embodies charm and was recognized as one of DC’s “Best Addresses”.. The building is professionally managed, well maintained and improved with reasonable fees. Residents enjoy a gracious, period-inspired lobby, wide corridors, bike storage, and a boutique atmosphere—offering both privacy and a true sense of community.
