2000 16th St NW

The Balfour is a historic Beaux-Arts condominium at the corner of 16th and U Streets NW in Washington, DC, built in 1900 and converted to 53 condo homes in the late 1980s. The masonry façade and classical detailing announce the building’s architectural pedigree; interiors retain period touches such as high ceilings, tall windows, bay projections, original mantles and exposed brick alongside modern upgrades. Unit sizes vary from one-bedroom homes to multi-bedroom layouts, many featuring hardwood floors, open or traditional plans, renovated kitchens with stainless appliances and solid-surface counters, in-unit laundry, and generous closet/storage options. Common areas include a distinguished lobby, elevator service, communal bike room and additional owner storage in the basement, with building exterior assets like secure storage, sidewalks, exterior lighting and street lighting. The condominium association is presented as well-managed and financially stable, pet-friendly, FHA-approved, and offers forthcoming enhancements such as a funded rooftop deck. The site provides immediate access to transit and dense urban amenities — multiple Metro lines, frequent bus routes and a high Walk Score — situating residents within easy reach of Dupont Circle, Adams Morgan, the U Street Corridor and downtown conveniences.
