1807 California St NW #102

Classic Kalorama Address with Full-Service HOA

The residence at 1807 California Street NW #102 occupies a building constructed in 1909, placing it among the older and more architecturally grounded stock in the Kalorama neighborhood. Two bedrooms and a full bath are arranged within 752 square feet, a footprint that rewards thoughtful furnishing and benefits from the building’s period proportions.

The HOA structure here is notably comprehensive. Water, sewer, trash, snow removal, exterior building maintenance, insurance, management fees, and reserve fund contributions are all included — reducing the variable cost burden that often accompanies condo ownership and simplifying monthly budgeting.

California Street NW runs through one of the most walkable stretches of upper NW, with Connecticut Avenue and 18th Street corridors both nearby. The Woodley Park-Zoo and Dupont Circle Metro stations provide Red Line access, and the neighborhood’s density of restaurants, cafes, and daily-needs retail means most errands require no car at all.

At $359,900, this residence represents an accessible entry point into a neighborhood where the building stock is largely pre-war and resale inventory remains limited. The combination of location, HOA coverage, and building vintage makes this a considered option for buyers focused on the Kalorama and Adams Morgan submarket.

The Building
The 1909 building on California Street NW is part of the pre-war residential fabric that defines Kalorama. The structure’s age brings architectural character — higher ceilings, solid masonry construction, and a streetscape presence that newer buildings rarely replicate. Unit 102 is a two-bedroom, one-bath residence within this historic frame.
HOA Coverage
The monthly HOA fee covers an unusually broad range of expenses: water, sewer, trash, snow removal, exterior building maintenance, insurance, management, and reserve funds. For buyers comparing total monthly carrying costs, this level of inclusion meaningfully reduces out-of-pocket variables beyond the mortgage payment.
Neighborhood Access
California Street NW sits between two of the city’s most active commercial corridors. Connecticut Avenue and 18th Street are both nearby, offering access to groceries, restaurants, coffee, and services. The Red Line is accessible via Woodley Park-Zoo and Dupont Circle stations, and the neighborhood’s Walk Score consistently reflects its dense, pedestrian-oriented layout.
Market Context
Kalorama and the adjacent Adams Morgan submarket have long maintained limited resale inventory, particularly in pre-war buildings. The $359,900 price point positions this residence as one of the more accessible entries into the neighborhood. Buyers focused on this corridor will find that comparable two-bedroom units in buildings of this vintage and location trade infrequently.

About 1807 California St NW #102

The residence at 1807 California Street NW #102 is a two-bedroom, one-bath condo within a 1909 building on one of Kalorama’s most recognizable residential streets. The 752-square-foot floor plan is compact but well-structured, reflecting the proportions common to pre-war Washington construction. The building’s age and masonry character distinguish it from the area’s more recent condominium conversions.

California Street NW is a quiet residential street that connects these neighborhoods while remaining within easy reach of the commercial energy on 18th Street and Connecticut Avenue. The area’s housing stock is predominantly pre-war, and the neighborhood has long been among the more established residential enclaves in the District.

Daily life from this address is oriented around walkability. Local cafes, restaurants, and grocery options along 18th Street and Columbia Road are within comfortable walking distance, as are the amenities of Connecticut Avenue.
