Spacious Classic Residence on Cathedral Avenue NW

The residence at 4000 Cathedral Ave NW #311B occupies one of NW DC’s most architecturally grounded addresses, a building constructed in 1931 that has maintained its character through decades of the city’s evolution. At 1,430 square feet, the two-bedroom floor plan offers proportions that are increasingly rare at this price point in the District.

Ownership here is structurally straightforward. The HOA covers electricity, gas, air conditioning, heat, water, sewer, trash, snow removal, and real estate taxes — a scope of inclusion that materially reduces the variables in monthly cost planning. Surface parking is available on-site, a practical advantage in this part of NW.

Cathedral Avenue runs through a corridor defined by embassies, parkland, and the proximity of the National Cathedral. Rock Creek Park and Glover-Archbold Park are both accessible from this stretch of the city, offering substantial green space within the urban fabric. The neighborhood’s scale and tree canopy give it a character distinct from denser parts of the District.

The combination of building vintage, square footage, location, and HOA comprehensiveness makes this residence a considered choice for buyers evaluating the upper NW market.

The Building
The 1931 construction at 4000 Cathedral Ave NW reflects a period of DC residential development characterized by solid masonry construction and generous room proportions. Unit 311B carries 1,430 square feet across a two-bedroom layout, a scale that distinguishes it from more recently built condominiums in the area.
HOA Structure
The HOA at this building is among the more comprehensive in the NW market, covering electricity, gas, air conditioning, heat, water, sewer, trash, snow removal, and real estate taxes. Buyers should factor this inclusion into any cost-of-ownership comparison with properties carrying lower stated HOA fees but separate utility obligations.
The Corridor
Cathedral Avenue NW runs through an established stretch of upper NW defined by embassy row, the grounds of the National Cathedral, and access to Rock Creek Park. Glover Park’s commercial strip along Wisconsin Avenue is nearby, offering neighborhood dining, groceries, and everyday services within a walkable distance.
The Value Case
At $518,000 for 1,430 square feet with an all-inclusive HOA and surface parking available, this residence presents a straightforward ownership proposition in a part of NW DC where comparable square footage at this vintage commands attention. The building’s history and the comprehensiveness of the fee structure are the defining factors in the value equation.
