1910 Masonry Condo in the Heart of Columbia Heights

At 500 square feet, the one-bedroom, one-bath layout is compact and purposeful, suited to buyers who prioritize location and low-maintenance ownership over square footage.

The condominium association is professionally managed with reserve funds actively maintained — a meaningful distinction in older DC buildings where deferred maintenance can become a liability.

Columbia Heights places this residence within easy reach of the Metro, a dense corridor of dining and retail along 14th Street NW, and the broader amenities of upper NW. The 1910 building’s masonry construction gives it a solidity and exterior presence that newer infill buildings rarely replicate.
