1801 16th St NW

Completed in 1917 and standing seven stories tall, this converted Wardman-era property has been reimagined as a condominium with 84 residences primarily composed of studios and one-bedroom plans. The exterior retains pre-war masonry character with period detailing and sidewalk frontage, while interiors blend historic elements — high ceilings, original hardwood floors and crown moldings — with modern updates such as renovated kitchens, porcelain and marble baths, new windows and in-unit HVAC. Floor plans range from compact efficiencies and junior ones to full one- and two-bedroom layouts featuring open and traditional configurations, eat-in kitchens, island counters, built-ins and recessed lighting. Common areas emphasize resident convenience and social life: a dramatic staffed lobby, fitness room, wine/party room, bike storage, overflow laundry and individual extra storage. Services and systems have been fully upgraded as part of a large-scale renovation/conversion effort that added in-unit washers/dryers, upgraded plumbing and electrical, and a Nest thermostat in many units. Exterior amenities are modest and urban — sidewalk lighting, streetlights and some stone retaining walls — with on-site bike storage and nearby street parking; no dedicated garage is central to the property. Located at 16th and S Streets NW in the Dupont Circle/Logan Circle corridor, the building sits within a highly walkable neighborhood steps from 14th Street dining, two Metro stations, Meridian Hill Park and cultural destinations, supporting a city-centric lifestyle with easy transit, shops and nightlife. Pet policies and condo rules are managed by an active association that preserves the building’s historic character while maintaining contemporary systems and amenity access.
