1440 W St NW

A six-story cooperative built in 1908, this masonry residence occupies a walkable block in Washington’s U Street/14th Street corridor. Units are primarily one-bedroom configurations laid out in traditional and open-plan arrangements; interior finishes commonly include hardwood floors, galley kitchens with upgraded countertops, large closets, window treatments and renovated bathrooms. Shared building features emphasize practical convenience rather than luxury: communal coin laundry in the hallway, a landscaped interior courtyard view for some units, and maintained common corridors. Financially the co-op carries an underlying blanket mortgage apportioned to individual units, and monthly maintenance fees typically wrap that mortgage payment together with taxes, insurance and most utilities. Parking is not an advertised onsite feature; pet policies are restrictive and often prohibit animals. The location places residents steps from restaurants, shops, Meridian Hill Park, and multiple Metro stations, reflecting a lively urban neighborhood where short walks replace car trips. Occupancy and resale are governed by co-op approval and income eligibility limits that shape buyer qualification and day-to-day building governance.
