1855 Calvert St NW

The Cliffbourne is a historic Beaux-Arts condominium built in 1915 and organized as a low-rise masonry residence with five floors and 32 units. Units are primarily two-bedroom layouts, many reconfigured over time to combine spaces or create open-plan living; ceiling heights are frequently tall and interiors often retain period details such as exposed brick, multiple large bay windows, and decorative fireplaces. Common interior features include wood floors, recessed lighting, built-ins, practical galley or table-space kitchens with modernized countertops and stainless appliances in many units, and washer/dryer facilities located on each floor rather than inside individual units. The building provides basic shared amenities and services: an elevator, separate storage lockers in the lower level, on-floor laundry rooms, and street parking opportunities. Pet-friendly policies and relatively low condo fees are noted across listings. Located in Adams Morgan/Kalorama, the property fronts walkable tree-lined streets with sidewalks and sits within blocks of 18th Street dining, supermarkets, multiple metro stations, Rock Creek Park and local green spaces, offering a compact urban lifestyle that balances historic character with selective contemporary updates.
