2101 Connecticut Ave NW

An eight-story, 1928 Beaux-Arts cooperative on Connecticut Avenue in Washington, DC, this landmark property was designed by Joseph H. Abel and George T. Santmyer and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The façade and roofline incorporate Moorish, Spanish Colonial and Gothic Revival motifs, including carved grotesques and sculptural ornamentation that give the exterior strong period character. The building contains roughly 64 large units configured primarily as three- and four-bedroom homes; many residences retain prewar proportions such as deep galleries, high ceilings, detailed crown moldings, original wood floors and windows on multiple exposures. Interiors across units show a mix of careful historic preservation and modern upgrades — grand reception rooms, formal dining spaces, butler’s pantries, multiple bathrooms with high-end finishes, and versatile service wings with secondary kitchens and laundry. Shared amenities emphasize residential service and urban leisure: a staffed 24-hour front desk, full fitness center, meeting rooms, communal roof terraces with planted rooms, grills and gazebos, secure storage, covered parking and a commercial-size laundry with a dog-bath station. The building operates as a cooperative with on-site engineering and porter services; maintenance fees historically have included taxes and blanket mortgage components. Located in Kalorama, the address places residents within walking distance of parks, embassies, and Conn Avenue retail while offering elevated city views from the roof terraces and penthouse setbacks.
