The Embassy Condominium is a five-story Beaux-Arts residential building completed in 1923, located at the confluence of Mount Pleasant, Adams Morgan, and Columbia Heights in Washington, DC. The property retains classic pre-war character — high ceilings, original hardwood floors with inlaid borders, decorative plaster and picture-frame moldings, and a restored period lobby — while incorporating modern conveniences such as an elevator, integrated HVAC, in-unit washers/dryers in many residences, and updated kitchens and baths. Typical residences are one- and two-bedroom layouts that range from efficient studios to spacious two-bedrooms with formal dining rooms, generous closets (often walk-ins), and abundant windows that provide strong natural light; some units feature private balconies and park or city views. Building-common amenities include a fitness room, library/resident lounge, bike storage, community laundry, package storage, and rentable basement storage lockers; a limited number of deeded parking spaces are available. The exterior setting includes a landscaped gated lawn, sidewalks, exterior lighting and hardscape, and close pedestrian access to grocery, dining, transit, Meridian Hill Park, Rock Creek Park and the National Zoo. The condominium is pet-friendly and is recognized among DC’s notable pre-war addresses, blending historic architecture with contemporary urban living.
