Historic Kalorama Residence with All-Inclusive HOA

The residence at 2122 California St NW #452 occupies a 1905 building in Kalorama, a neighborhood defined by its tree-lined streets, diplomatic presence, and proximity to the cultural anchors of upper NW Washington. At 1,325 square feet, the two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath layout offers meaningful interior space by DC condo standards.

The HOA structure here is one of the most comprehensive available in the DC market. Electricity, gas, heat, air conditioning, water, sewer, trash, taxes, lawn maintenance, snow removal, building maintenance, management, and reserve funds are all covered. For buyers focused on predictable monthly costs, this arrangement significantly simplifies ownership.

Surface parking is included with the residence, a practical advantage in a neighborhood where street parking is consistently competitive. The building’s 1905 origins give it architectural character that newer construction cannot replicate, while the Kalorama address places residents within close reach of the Connecticut Avenue and Columbia Road corridors.

Priced at $540,000, the residence represents a considered entry point into one of NW DC’s most enduring submarkets, with a cost structure that absorbs most of the variable expenses typically associated with urban homeownership.

The Building
The 1905 building at 2122 California St NW carries the architectural weight of Kalorama’s pre-war heritage. The residence spans 1,325 square feet across two bedrooms and one and a half baths, a floor plan that provides genuine room to live without the inefficiencies common in newer DC condos.
HOA Coverage
The HOA fee encompasses an unusually broad range of expenses: electricity, gas, heat, air conditioning, water, sewer, trash, taxes, building maintenance, management, snow removal, and reserve contributions. Buyers can underwrite monthly costs with a high degree of confidence, as most variable utility and maintenance expenses are absorbed by the association.
Parking and Access
Surface parking is included with the unit, a meaningful amenity in Kalorama where on-street availability is limited. The location places residents within walking distance of the Connecticut Avenue and Columbia Road corridors, with access to the Woodley Park and Dupont Circle Metro stations on the Red Line.
The Value Case
At $540,000, the all-in cost of ownership is shaped primarily by the HOA structure rather than unpredictable utility bills or maintenance calls. For buyers evaluating upper NW DC condos, this residence offers a rare combination of historic character, generous square footage, and financial transparency.

Property Location

About 2122 California St NW #452

The residence at 2122 California St NW #452 is a 1,325-square-foot two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath condo within a 1905 building in Kalorama, NW Washington. The building’s pre-war construction gives it a structural and aesthetic character distinct from the glass-and-steel inventory that dominates newer DC development. Surface parking is deeded with the unit, and the HOA fee covers an extensive list of operating expenses including electricity, gas, heat, air conditioning, water, sewer, trash, taxes, building maintenance, management, snow removal, and reserve funds.

Kalorama is one of NW Washington’s most historically significant residential neighborhoods, situated between Woodley Park to the north and Dupont Circle to the south. The area is characterized by its early-twentieth-century architecture, embassy row adjacency, and the commercial energy of the Connecticut Avenue and Columbia Road corridors nearby. Rock Creek Park is accessible from the neighborhood, and the density of local dining, grocery, and retail options along those corridors supports daily life without requiring a car for most errands.

Residents of this address have walkable access to the Connecticut Avenue corridor and the Columbia Road stretch of Adams Morgan, where a range of cafes, restaurants, and neighborhood retail are concentrated. The Woodley Park Metro station on the Red Line and the Dupont Circle Metro station are both within reasonable walking distance, providing direct access to downtown DC and points beyond. The included surface parking space adds flexibility for those who maintain a vehicle, while the all-inclusive HOA structure removes the friction of managing separate utility accounts.
