    What's special

    Welcome to the most unique unit at legendary California Court. A private entrance through a manicured garden provides convenient and private access to unit No. 1, an elegant and dazzling maisonette residence in one of Washington’s Best Addresses. Ten deep-set windows on three sides bathe No. 1’s nearly 1300 square feet of luxurious living space in warm natural light, elegantly filtered by mature trees and lush landscaping. Be the first to enjoy the smart renovation of this open floor plan, with hardwood floors throughout and every detail considered. Conveniently located in the famed Kalorama neighborhood –Greek for “beautiful view”– California Court is a Washington landmark. Flanking its sister California House, the Court side, converted to condominiums in 1985, offers exclusivity and luxury. This large 2 bedroom, 2 bath is the only maisonette in the building, and the only layout offering this vast generous floor plan featuring windows across the entire building front. An entertainer’s dream, the open loft-like feel of the living space is unparalleled. Stepping inside the home reveals an airy and light floor plan punctuated with two stunning turn of the century cast iron columns, complete with original bolts and rivets bracing their flanges. The dining space flows gracefully into the light-filled living room and office area affording new owners endless layout configurations for furniture and entertainment as light from three large southern facing windows provide warmth and drama. The large open kitchen delights with vast counter space, timeless Poggenpohl cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, two large deep-set windows and one of the four additional closets, this one making for a perfect pantry. Working from home is easy and convenient with a large space off the kitchen - perfect for a desk, elegant entertaining bar, or even a Peloton. Down a hall, you’ll find two large bedrooms, two bathrooms, and in-unit washer and dryer. The primary suite is your own private retreat, featuring two windows, generous closet space, and a spa bathroom with sophisticated finishes and radiant floor heating. The second bedroom delights with a large closet and two more deep set windows, these facing west. Across the hall, you'll find a second meticulously appointed spa bath. Enjoy the new high-end windows for many years to come, just replaced in 2017. California Court is both pet-friendly and investor-friendly. No pet weight restrictions and no rental restrictions (minimum 6 month lease). This condo includes a large assigned storage unit, plus access to the bike room. Rental parking is easily available at multiple neighboring buildings. Update 4/10 - thank you for your interest. The seller requests that offers be received by Tuesday 4/12 at 12pm.
