A Historic California Street Address in the Heart of Kalorama

The residence at 1807 California Street NW sits within a building constructed in 1909, a period that defined the architectural character of Kalorama and the broader NW corridor. At 752 square feet across two bedrooms and one full bath, the floor plan is efficient without sacrificing livability.

The HOA structure here is notably comprehensive. Water, sewer, trash, exterior building maintenance, insurance, reserve funds, management, and custodial services are all included — reducing the variable cost burden that often accompanies older building ownership.

California Street NW occupies a privileged position between Dupont Circle and Woodley Park, two of the city’s most active and walkable neighborhoods. The Red Line is accessible at both ends of the corridor, and the density of dining, grocery, and everyday retail along Connecticut Avenue and Columbia Road NW is substantial.

At $405,000, this residence represents a considered entry into a neighborhood where the housing stock is predominantly larger and priced accordingly. The combination of historic fabric, full-service HOA, and a two-bedroom configuration at this price point is a relatively uncommon alignment in this submarket.

The Building
The building at 1807 California Street NW dates to 1909, placing it among the earliest residential construction in Kalorama. The neighborhood’s pre-war building stock is a defining characteristic of the area, and this residence sits squarely within that tradition. Unit 102 offers two bedrooms and one full bath across 752 square feet.
HOA Coverage
The monthly HOA fee covers an unusually broad range of expenses: water, sewer, trash removal, exterior building maintenance, building insurance, reserve fund contributions, management fees, and custodial services. For a buyer weighing total monthly cost of ownership, this level of inclusion is a meaningful factor.
The Neighborhood
Kalorama occupies a central position in NW DC, bordered by Dupont Circle to the south and Woodley Park to the north. Connecticut Avenue NW and Columbia Road NW provide immediate access to grocery, dining, and daily retail. The Red Line runs along both edges of the neighborhood, with Dupont Circle and Woodley Park stations each a reasonable walk from California Street.
The Value Case
Two-bedroom residences in Kalorama at this price point are uncommon. The neighborhood’s housing stock skews toward larger units and higher price thresholds, making this a relatively accessible entry into a well-established NW corridor. The comprehensive HOA structure further strengthens the ownership proposition for a buyer focused on predictable monthly costs.
