A Pre-War Classic in Cathedral Heights

The Westchester is one of upper NW Washington’s most recognized pre-war addresses, a sprawling Tudor Revival complex set on landscaped grounds along Cathedral Avenue. Built in 1931, the building carries an architectural presence and sense of permanence that newer construction rarely replicates. Residence 705B sits on the seventh floor, offering elevated sightlines and the quiet that comes with height in a low-density corridor.

At 950 square feet, the one-bedroom floor plan is notably spacious for the price point. The all-inclusive fee structure is among the most comprehensive available in the DC condo market, covering electricity, gas, heat, air conditioning, water, sewer, taxes, insurance, and exterior maintenance. Buyers who have navigated the hidden costs of condo ownership elsewhere will recognize the value of that clarity.

Cathedral Heights sits between the National Cathedral grounds and the Glover-Archbold parkland, giving the neighborhood a green, unhurried character. The Red Line at Tenleytown and the Wisconsin Avenue corridor are accessible by bus or a short drive, connecting residents to the broader city without sacrificing the calm of the immediate surroundings.

Property Location

About 4000 Cathedral Ave NW #705B

The Westchester at 4000 Cathedral Ave NW is a 1931 Tudor Revival residential complex widely regarded as one of upper NW Washington’s most architecturally significant pre-war addresses. The B building rises several stories above the complex’s landscaped grounds, and unit 705B occupies the seventh floor. The residence spans 950 square feet, a generous allocation for a one-bedroom configuration in this market. The building’s scale, materials, and mature plantings give it a campus-like character that distinguishes it from the typical urban condo setting.

Cathedral Heights is a quiet residential neighborhood in NW DC, bounded by the grounds of Washington National Cathedral to the east and the Glover-Archbold Park trail corridor to the west. The area is characterized by pre-war apartment buildings, single-family homes, and an absence of the commercial density found in adjacent Wisconsin Avenue corridors. Nearby Massachusetts Avenue and Cathedral Avenue connect the neighborhood to Embassy Row and the broader upper NW fabric. Local amenities along Wisconsin Avenue and in the Glover Park corridor are accessible by bus or a short drive.

Day-to-day life at the Westchester is shaped by the building’s self-contained character and its proximity to some of NW Washington’s most significant green spaces. The Glover-Archbold Park trail system begins within easy reach, offering a natural corridor that runs from the Potomac to Tenleytown. The Wisconsin Avenue commercial strip provides grocery options, local dining, and everyday retail. The Red Line at Tenleytown and Friendship Heights stations, along with several bus routes on Wisconsin and Massachusetts Avenues, connect residents to downtown DC and the broader Metro system.

A Wardman team member and the Wardman Residential team at Compass have worked extensively in the Cathedral Heights and upper NW DC submarket, with particular familiarity with the Westchester’s building structure, fee dynamics, and resale history. We understand the nuances that distinguish a well-priced unit here from one that requires more scrutiny — from floor position and exposure to the implications of the all-inclusive fee on total cost of ownership. If you are exploring one-bedroom residences in Cathedral Heights or the broader upper NW condo market, we would welcome the opportunity to share recent comparables and our perspective on the building.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

Key details about the residence, building, and location to help you evaluate this opportunity.

The Westchester’s monthly fee is among the most inclusive in Washington DC, covering electricity, gas, heat, air conditioning, water, sewer, real estate taxes, building insurance, exterior maintenance, lawn care, snow removal, and trash. For buyers accustomed to paying those costs separately, the all-in structure simplifies budgeting considerably.
The Westchester operates as a cooperative, which means buyers purchase shares in the corporation rather than a deeded unit. This distinction affects financing options, as not all lenders offer co-op loans. Buyers should confirm their financing approach early in the process.
The Westchester was built in 1931 in the Tudor Revival style, and it remains one of the most architecturally recognized pre-war residential complexes in upper NW Washington. The building’s brick exterior, landscaped grounds, and campus-like setting along Cathedral Avenue give it a character that newer construction rarely replicates.
Several bus routes along Wisconsin Avenue and Massachusetts Avenue NW connect Cathedral Heights to the Red Line at Tenleytown and Friendship Heights, as well as to Georgetown and downtown DC. The neighborhood is walkable for local errands along Wisconsin Avenue, and the trail network through Glover-Archbold Park provides a car-free route toward Georgetown.
At 950 square feet, this residence is notably larger than most one-bedroom condos available in DC at or near the 319,000 price point. Many newer construction one-bedrooms in the city fall in the 600 to 750 square foot range, making the Westchester’s pre-war floor plans a meaningful differentiator for buyers who prioritize space.
The Glover-Archbold Park trail corridor begins within close reach of the Westchester, offering a wooded path that runs from the Potomac River to Tenleytown. The grounds of Washington National Cathedral are also nearby, providing open lawns and walking paths. Battery-Kemble Park is accessible in the immediate upper NW area as well.
The input data for this residence does not specify a deeded parking space. Buyers interested in parking availability at the Westchester — including any waitlist, rental, or purchase options — should confirm directly with building management prior to making an offer.
The Wardman Residential team at Compass has worked extensively in the Cathedral Heights submarket and has specific familiarity with the Westchester’s resale history, fee structure, and building dynamics. We can provide recent comparable sales, context on the co-op approval process, and guidance on total cost of ownership. Reach out to connect with a team member.
