Property Description
Welcome to one of Washington's most coveted addresses-The Mendota in Kalorama Triangle. Built in 1901 in the grand Beaux-Arts style, The Mendota holds the distinction of being the oldest intact luxury apartment building in Washington, D.C. More than a century later, it remains a landmark of historic elegance, meticulously preserved to maintain its early 20th-century charm. This spacious corner one-bedroom residence offers beautiful multiple-exposure views overlooking the tree-lined streets of Kalorama and 1,000sqft of interior space reminiscent of a chic Parisian flat. The home retains many original details, including 10-foot ceilings, crown molding, gleaming hardwood floors, chestnut doors, and a classic fireplace. Separate living and dining rooms enhance the elegant layout, seamlessly paired with modern upgrades such as a high-end kitchen and an elegant marble bathroom. Additional features include an in-unit washer/dryer and generous closet space. Leased fully furnished, the home is thoughtfully appointed with antiques sourced from around the world-some dating back to the 1800s-paired with details such as fine glassware, dishware, and china for hosting elegant gatherings. The furnishings also include a bedroom TV, a projector screen in the living room, an espresso machine, and much more, ensuring both comfort and sophistication. All utilities, including high-speed internet, are included in the rent for a truly effortless move-in experience. Residents of The Mendota enjoy a grand building entry with concierge service, a landscaped courtyard and gardens, and a renovated bike room. The Kalorama location offers easy access to Dupont Circle, Woodley Park, and Adams Morgan, with multiple Metro stations and transit options just a short walk away. Experience the rare opportunity to live in one of Washington's premier historic enclaves, where Beaux-Arts architecture, heritage, and modern luxury converge.
