1940 3rd St NE

3rd Street Flats is a small boutique condominium in Washington, D.C., originally built in 1940 and reconfigured into modern two-bedroom residences. The building’s exterior reads as a low-rise urban infill with modest common outdoor space and a rear parking area; several parking spaces are offered separately. Inside, units prioritize open plans and natural light with oversized windows, wood floors, recessed lighting, and contemporary kitchens that typically include islands, granite counters, and stainless LG appliances. Bathrooms feature tiled finishes and a mix of tub and stall showers; primary suites often include walk-in closets. Common building features are practical and resident-focused: an in-unit washer/dryer in most homes, access to a large shared roof deck with city views, and limited additional exterior amenities. The property’s small scale creates a quiet, residential feel while the owner community and management allow for potential zoning work — listings note opportunities to add units or deliver vacant possession. Located in Eckington near NoMa and Rhode Island Avenue, the building sits within walking distance of transit, the Metropolitan Branch Trail, Union Market, grocery options, new retail promenades, and cultural amenities, supporting an urban, everyday lifestyle.
