The Arundel Cooperative is a low-rise, four-story cooperative built in 1916 and made up of roughly 18–20 residences, primarily one-bedroom layouts and several larger flats. Exterior character is classically Capitol Hill: red-brick masonry, street-level stoops, pedestrian sidewalks, and modest exterior lighting along a tree-lined residential block one short block from Stanton Park. Interiors retain historic details — original heart-pine floors, 9-foot ceilings, transom and French doors, crown moldings, built-in cabinetry and vintage hardware — while many units show modernized kitchens and bathrooms with quartz or granite counters and stainless-steel appliances. Common building traits include generous basement storage for owners, optional bike storage (one-time fee), on-site shelving, and a neighborly small-building feel with shared utilities included in the monthly coop fee. The cooperative operates with low common charges that commonly cover property taxes and utilities such as heat, hot water and sewer; there is no underlying mortgage. Pet-friendly policies, board-controlled resale and rental approval rules (rentals permitted after ownership period), and proximity to multiple Metro lines, Eastern Market, H Street and Union Station define the building’s practical conveniences and urban lifestyle.
