Welcome to Apartment #113 at the Marlyn Condominiums, a historic gem designed in the 1930s by architect Francis Koenig and prominently featured in Best Addresses, James Goode's authoritative book on Washington’s most notable apartment buildings. Nestled on a peaceful, tree-lined street, the Marlyn offers the perfect balance of tranquility and convenience. It's just steps from the iconic National Cathedral and within easy reach of Cathedral Commons' shops and restaurants, as well as Glover Park, Georgetown, and American University. Metro Bus service provides easy access to Dupont Circle, downtown DC, and Friendship Heights. Apartment #18 (labeled Apt. #113 on the unit door and mailbox) is a charming 768-square-foot, 1-bedroom home. The unit boasts a modernized kitchen, an updated bathroom, and stunning west-facing windows that fill the space with natural light. Highlights include a spacious living/dining area, pristine parquet floors, and excellent closet space, flexible bonus space to use as Den/Office or walk in storage. Located just across from the elevator, the apartment offers direct access to the basement level, leading to its designated parking space—conveniently the first spot outside the exit door. The condo fee covers a lockable storage unit, water/sewer, snow and trash removal, and professional building management. Residents enjoy the convenience of a staffed concierge in the lobby seven days a week, along with access to an exercise room, sauna, party/meeting room, and bike storage. The Marlyn is a pet-friendly building that welcomes both dogs and cats. Renting is permitted with Board approval and a minimum lease term of six months. Don't miss the opportunity to make this timeless residence your new home!
