2122 California St NW

Completed in 1905, this six-story, Beaux-Arts cooperative occupies a prominent Kalorama corner and is credited to architects Edgar S. Kennedy and Harry Blake. The Westmoreland’s exterior displays classical ornamentation and a formal entry that leads into a marble-clad lobby with intricate plasterwork and Corinthian columns. The co-op’s floor plates contain a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom homes with high ceilings and period details such as original pine or oak floors, crown moldings, wide millwork, pocket doors and built-ins. Many units have been comprehensively renovated to include modern kitchens with stainless appliances, stone countertops, upgraded windows and spa-style bathrooms while retaining historic elements. Shared features emphasize condominium-style convenience within a cooperative structure: a staffed front desk/concierge, on-site management, elevator service, common roof deck with panoramic Washington Monument and city views, private courtyard, secure bike storage, rentable parking and private storage rooms in the basement. The building offers laundry facilities, secure package handling, exterior lighting, sidewalks and roof-deck grilling. Pets are permitted (building-specific limits apply). Monthly maintenance typically covers property taxes and utilities, and fiber internet is available to residents. Located in the Sheridan-Kalorama historic district, the property sits in a highly walkable neighborhood with immediate access to restaurants, parks, public transit and cultural destinations. The building’s long preservation and periodic upgrades create a blend of historic character and contemporary amenities tailored to owners seeking a full-service, centrally located Washington address.
