2138 California St NW

Dating to 1910, this single‑story Beaux Arts condominium occupies a stately row in Washington’s Kalorama neighborhood. The building’s architecture emphasizes classical details and tall, elegant windows set over a landscaped urban courtyard; interiors across units often retain period elements such as crown moldings, built‑ins and wood floors while incorporating modern upgrades. Residences range from renovated one‑bedrooms to multi‑level penthouses that were once combined units, offering features like fireplaces, private balconies, terraces or patios, and generous closet and storage allocations. Common areas include a refurbished lobby, elevator access, assigned storage rooms and secure bike storage; the site has sidewalks and nearby parkland rather than on‑site garage parking, with street parking available. Units commonly report updated kitchens with stone counters and stainless appliances, in‑unit washers/dryers, recessed lighting and central HVAC in select homes. The association is pet‑friendly, allows investor ownership without strict rental caps, and maintains relatively modest condo fees. Located on a tree‑lined street near Connecticut Avenue, the building sits within easy walking distance of Dupont Circle and Woodley Park metros, neighborhood markets, restaurants and Rock Creek Park, positioning it for both urban convenience and a quieter, residential feel.
