Welcome to 3901 Cathedral Ave NW #218 at The Marlyn, an Art Deco, full service building in the heart of Cathedral Heights. Designed in the 1930's by renowned architect Francis Koenig, The Marlyn is also featured in James Goode's Best Addresses, celebrating DC's most profound architecture. This spacious one-bedroom, one-bath home has been thoughtfully updated and offers just over 750 square feet of living space – one of the largest one-bedroom condos at The Marlyn. As you enter, enjoy original oak floors and lots of natural light from the large picturesque windows that overlook scenic tree-lined streets. The open floor plan offers great space for a dining area, a living area, and a flex space that is currently utilized as a home office with a custom built-in desk and a customizable storage unit. The chef’s kitchen is a true delight, featuring classic touches, honed granite countertops, an under-mount sink, and beautiful white cabinetry. The generously sized primary bedroom features shelving, tranquil tree-lined views, a large walk-in closet, and can easily fit a king size bed. The updated full bathroom features a tub/shower combo, new vanity, and additional closet space. The unit also features two new convectors (6/2022). Convectors have integral thermostats that you can set temperature at each unit. Other updates include: new thermostat, new kitchen faucet (delta touch2o), new shower head with hand shower, new lighting in bathroom, and new ceiling fan in den. This full-service building is investor and pet friendly and offers an array of desirable amenities, including a rooftop common area with great views of the city, a concierge, elevator, laundry room, fitness center, sauna, bike room, and storage room. Plenty of street parking. When you live here, convenience is a matter of lifestyle; short distance to shops and restaurants including Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Giant, Cactus Cantina, Raku, Barcelona Wine Bar, Silver, 2 Amys, and so much more. 1.6 miles to Cleveland Park Metro and access to multiple metro bus stops. Glover-Archbold Trail and Newark Street Dog Park are also just outside your doorstep. With such convenience and amenities, this is urban living at its best!
