About This Home
Nestled elegantly atop Adams Morgan, this exquisite one-bedroom, one-bath condominium graces you with its spacious design and refined comforts. Unit #5 at The Wendell offers a blend of modern sophistication and classic charm within a meticulously preserved historic DC building. As you enter, you're greeted by warm hardwood floors and the first glimpse of the 14 radiant windows that flood the living space with natural light.
The expansive den serves as a versatile area, suitable for a living room, home office, or guest accommodation, complete with two sets of French doors that can be opened to embrace an open floor plan or closed for a private sanctuary. The luminous dining room accommodates a six or eight-seater table with ease, seamlessly connecting to the open kitchen. This culinary space is adorned with ample cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances, complemented by a charming door leading to the outdoor fire escape.
Down the hallway, you will find a generous storage closet alongside a brand new washer and dryer. The spacious bedroom, lined with additional windows and an expansive fitted closet, provides a luxurious retreat. The fully renovated bathroom features a modern vanity, a sleek glass sliding shower door, ceiling-high marble accents, and a stylish tiled shampoo nook that adds flair to the space.
For those seeking additional storage, this condominium offers a private storage closet on the building's lower level. The Wendell’s prime location at the convergence of Adams Morgan, Dupont Circle, and Kalorama places you moments away from the Dupont Metro and an array of dining and recreational options along Connecticut Ave.
