Spectacular Adams Morgan and Capitol Hill Lofts currently on market

2328_champlain_408_526

While much of DC is playing out on the Eastern Shore, there might not be a better time than the dog days of summer to fulfill your dreams of owning a stunning DC loft. These are the kind of places that make you say WOW the minute you walk in the door.

The DC loft movement started in the Adams Morgan neighborhood and over the years various developers have continually one-upped prior projects in their quest for the quintessential loft development. Many obsolete industrial-era Adams Morgan buildings have been re-born as luxury loft developments.

DC's most stunning loft currently on the market is a penthouse unit located at The Lofts of Adams Morgan. This 2-story loft features a 2 BR / 3…

In a city where everyone seems to be out walking their dog, why is it so challenging to find a decent pet-friendly condo?

Pet-friendly is one of those terms that seems to have a different meaning to each and all and it is almost impossible to come up with a generic definition. Many condos are marketed as pet-friendly, sometimes it means that there are no restrictions, in other instances there is a weight limit or breed restriction.

If you are a dog owner in the market for the perfect DC condo, our team has experience assisting pet owners and can help you laser focus your search. To get started, here are some pet-friendly DC condo developments:

Adams Morgan

  • Adams Station
  • Beekman Place

Capitol Hill

  • Axis Condos

WY18: Classic Revival Style Renovation in Adams Morgan

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011 at 6:44am. 1068 Views, 0 Comments.

wy18_400

 

It has been a while since a new condo development was delivered in Adams Morgan.   Adams Morgan was one of the first NW District neighborhoods to see industrial conversions to residential lofts, but much of this activity has been completed for over a decade.  Also, there are fewer large infill parcels in this neighborhood as the riots following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King did not impact Adams Morgan nearly as much as neighboring communities.

Located at the corner of Wyoming Avenue and 18th Street, WY18 is the complete renovation and conversion of the Warrington and Wilmington apartment buildings.  These twin buildings were built in 1909 as the Adams Morgan neighborhood expanded with the street car service from two trolley lines.

DC Pre-war Condo Buildings

Monday, May 24th, 2010 at 8:50am. 2467 Views, 3 Comments.

2029_connecticut_ave_400 

In a city obsessed with new residential construction, many of our pre-war historic condo buildings are overlooked during the buying process.  This is easy to do as there is significantly more media and real estate industry hype about the latest project from DC residential developers.

The District is truly fortunate to also have a large number of wonderful residential buildings constructed in the pre-war years of the 20th century.  While there are venerable pre-war condo projects throughout the city, many of our favorites are located in the Kalorama and Adams Morgan neighborhoods.  

It is wrong to assume that an older condo building automatically means outdated floor plans, ugly appliances and tired common areas.   Many of DC's pre-war buildings and units…

While the Logan Circle area around Church and 14th is often viewed as the epicenter of DC's loft movement, Adams Morgan comes in a close second.  The Adams  Morgan loft inventory includes instances of both industrial re-use lofts as well as new construction infill developments.

The PN Hoffman developed Lofts at Adams Morgan is a new construction infill development completed in 2002 featuring 59 upscale units and a 300-car parking garage.  PN Hoffman has left its mark on this block of Champlain Street, as it also developed Adams Row which is located directly across the street.

The design of the Lofts at Adams Morgan, utilizing dark red bricks, exposed metal roof trusses and over-sized industrial windows mimics the feel of a rust-belt industrial era…

Court Yards, Parking and Security are Draws for DC Gated Communities

 

car_barn_courtyard_450 

A housing staple of the Sunbelt, there are only a handful of gated communities within the DC city limits.  Our dense, urban landscape with a limited availability of vacant land has curbed the development of gated communities.

The gated communities in the District are quite popular and geographically dispersed throughout the city.  Here are brief overviews of four DC gated communities:

Beekman Place - Adams Morgan

Perched on a high on a hill like a medieval castle, Beekman Place offers a commanding presence over the intersection 16th Street and Florida Avenue.  Beekman Place is situated on a parcel that formerly housed a castle built for Senator John Henderson.  Today the stone…
