1870 Wyoming Ave NW

A seven-story prewar cooperative built in 1917, this boutique masonry building offers large, classic apartment homes with early 20th-century Beaux-Arts details. Units are predominantly three-bedroom layouts with generous floor plans that include formal reception halls, banquet-sized dining rooms, and combination living/dining spaces. Character finishes such as high ceilings, original hardwood floors, crown moldings, intricate plaster work, and tall multi-pane windows are common; many residences have been updated with renovated kitchens, upgraded countertops, recessed lighting and modern baths while retaining historic millwork. Common areas include a staffed front desk, an elevator, a landmark-style marbleized lobby, a secure basement with extra storage cages and a bicycle room plus a small workshop. Rooftop access provides panoramic city and monument views; some units feature private terraces or balconies. Exterior amenities emphasize an established urban streetscape with sidewalk lighting. The co-op operates with consolidated monthly fees that often cover taxes, heat and water; building policies are pet-friendly, permit in-unit washers/dryers (with approval), allow arranged rental parking, and enforce rental restrictions and board approval processes. Located near Dupont Circle/Kalorama, the building places residents within walking distance of Metro stations, restaurants, and neighborhood services, blending historic architectural presence with practical city conveniences.
