The Cassandra Condominium is a midcentury low-rise condo building in Washington, DC, completed in 1957 and renovated for condo use. Composed primarily of two-bedroom residences with occasional dens, units emphasize open, flexible floor plans that combine living, dining, and kitchen areas. Interiors commonly feature hardwood floors, recessed lighting and speakers, skylights, upgraded countertops and stainless-steel appliances in eat-in or breakfast-bar kitchens; many homes include in-unit washer/dryer, ample closet storage and a mix of full and half bathrooms. Common building infrastructure includes secured entry with intercom and video, an on-site fitness room, bike storage and additional basement storage lockers. The property offers assigned off-street or garage parking for residents, a pet-friendly policy, and routine exterior maintenance and condo governance that has kept fees stable. Located on a quiet, tree-lined street with easy bus access and short drives to Fort Totten, Petworth and Silver Spring metros, the building sits within walking distance of neighborhood favorites, casual dining and forthcoming retail redevelopment at The Parks at Walter Reed. The overall character is practical, well-updated midcentury housing geared toward low-maintenance city living with commuter access and modest building amenities.
