California Street Character in the Heart of Kalorama

The residence at 1829 California Street NW sits within a building constructed in 1911, a period that produced much of the architectural fabric that defines Kalorama and the surrounding NW neighborhoods. Unit 101 offers two bedrooms and two full baths within 794 square feet, a layout that reflects the thoughtful proportioning common to buildings of this era.

California Street is one of the more quietly distinguished addresses in this part of the city, running through a corridor of early-twentieth-century residential buildings that have retained their scale and character. The location places residents within walking distance of the Connecticut Avenue commercial strip, the Dupont Circle Metro station, and the independent restaurants and cafes that populate Adams Morgan to the north.

At 490,000, this residence offers access to a neighborhood where comparable inventory is limited and the built environment has remained largely intact for over a century. The combination of address, configuration, and price point makes this a substantive opportunity in the NW condo market.

The Building
The building at 1829 California Street NW dates to 1911, placing it among the early residential structures that established the character of Kalorama. Buildings of this vintage in this neighborhood are sought for their proportions, masonry construction, and the sense of permanence they convey relative to newer construction.
The Location
California Street NW runs through one of the city’s most intact early-twentieth-century residential corridors. The address offers proximity to Dupont Circle, Adams Morgan, and the Connecticut Avenue commercial strip, giving residents access to a dense network of dining, retail, and transit options without leaving the NW quadrant.
The Floor Plan
The two-bedroom, two-bath configuration within 794 square feet is well-suited to the building’s era and the neighborhood’s residential character. Two full baths in a sub-800-square-foot plan is a meaningful feature in this segment of the market, where single-bath layouts are common at comparable price points.
The Opportunity
At 490,000, the residence enters the market at a price point that reflects both the neighborhood’s established standing and the practical considerations of a ground-floor unit in a 1911 building. For buyers focused on Kalorama and the broader Dupont-Adams Morgan corridor, this address warrants close attention.

Property Location

About 1829 California St NW #101

The residence at 1829 California Street NW #101 occupies a building constructed in 1911, one of the earlier residential structures along this stretch of Kalorama. The unit offers two bedrooms and two full baths within 794 square feet, a configuration that is notably well-appointed for the size. Ground-floor placement provides direct entry and a connection to the streetscape that upper-floor units in comparable buildings do not offer.

Kalorama is among the most established residential neighborhoods in NW Washington, defined by its early-twentieth-century building stock, tree-lined streets, and proximity to multiple commercial corridors. California Street sits at a natural crossroads between the Dupont Circle and Adams Morgan neighborhoods, giving residents access to the Connecticut Avenue retail and dining strip as well as the independent restaurants and bars concentrated along 18th Street NW. The neighborhood’s residential character has remained consistent for decades, shaped in part by the scale and age of its building stock.

The Connecticut Avenue corridor offers a range of dining, coffee, and grocery options within walking distance of California Street. The Dupont Circle Metro station, on the Red Line, provides direct access to downtown DC and connections across the system. Adams Morgan’s 18th Street NW corridor, a short walk to the north, adds a second commercial district with a distinct character and a dense concentration of independent restaurants and nightlife. Rock Creek Park is also accessible from this part of the city, offering green space and trail access within the urban fabric.
