1831 2nd St NE

A low-rise, early-20th-century masonry condominium in Washington, DC, the five-story property was constructed in 1900 and later renovated into 37 one-bedroom homes. The architecture blends a stately brick exterior and traditional proportions with modernized common spaces: a bright lobby, elevator access to upper floors, and an exterior roof deck reached directly by elevator. Typical residences offer open and traditional floorplans with hardwood floors, abundant natural light through large windows, in-unit washer/dryer setups, granite or quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, and a mix of galley and island-style kitchens. Building-level amenities emphasize active-urban living and community use, including a landscaped community garden, an oversized bike room in the basement, a roof terrace with sweeping city views, sport-court-adjacent hardscaped areas, and staffed or monitored entry features. The grounds include sidewalks, street lighting, and maintained plantings creating a residential streetscape. Policies and practicalities reflect mid-range urban condominium ownership: pet-friendly rules, income-restricted Affordable Dwelling Unit (ADU) allocations in some units, storage options, and on-site conveniences that support commuting — proximity to multiple metro stations, buses, Capital Bikeshare, and the Metropolitan Branch Trail.
