Downtown Washington Residence with All-Inclusive Ownership

Residence 401 at 1300 Massachusetts Ave NW sits at the intersection of downtown Washington’s civic and commercial core, occupying a building with origins in 1890. The address places the resident steps from the institutions, transit, and daily amenities that define central NW DC.

The one-bedroom layout spans 645 square feet, a considered footprint for a downtown residence where location commands a premium. The building’s historic character lends a sense of permanence that newer construction in the corridor cannot replicate.

The HOA structure here is notably comprehensive. Monthly dues cover air conditioning, electricity, gas, heat, insurance, building management, property taxes, and water — effectively consolidating the majority of ownership costs into a single monthly figure. For buyers evaluating true cost of ownership, this distinction matters.

The surrounding neighborhood — Downtown NW, near the Thomas Circle and Logan Circle corridors — offers immediate access to multiple Metro lines, a dense concentration of dining and retail, and proximity to major employment centers throughout the federal core and K Street corridor.

Historic Address
The building at 1300 Massachusetts Ave NW was constructed in 1890, giving it a depth of character uncommon among downtown DC condominiums. Its Massachusetts Avenue address places it within the established corridor connecting the White House precinct to Logan Circle, a stretch defined by institutional architecture and urban continuity.
Considered Layout
At 645 square feet, the one-bedroom layout is appropriately scaled for a downtown residence. The floor plan prioritizes livability within a compact footprint, a common and practical configuration for this submarket and price point.
All-In HOA
The HOA at this building covers an unusually broad range of expenses: air conditioning, electricity, gas, heat, insurance, management, property taxes, and water. Buyers should factor this structure carefully into their total cost analysis, as it substantially reduces the number of separate monthly obligations.
Central Position
The residence sits within easy walking distance of multiple Metro stations, including McPherson Square and Metro Center, connecting the owner to the full breadth of the WMATA system. The surrounding blocks include a dense mix of dining, coffee, grocery, and retail options characteristic of central downtown NW.
