About This Home

As of April 2021

Come explore one of DC's "Best Addresses!" This 2 bed, 2 bath condo features gracious pre-war proportions with today's modern amenities, including coveted garage parking. Built in 1928, the building was home to President Harry Truman and was one of his favorite residences in DC. Steeped in history, the former president actually enjoyed dinner in unit #208 on his first day in office! The property has been lovingly restored and is a perfect blend of classic details and modern touches. The spacious entry hall welcomes you to the unit. Just beyond, the newly renovated kitchen features white shaker cabinets, leathered granite counters, and a subway tile backsplash, but retains the original glass-front cupboards from the 1920s. The original hardwood floors have been refinished throughout and flow through the separate formal dining room and large living room. French doors lead to the serene screened-in porch, perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails. The two bedrooms both feature en suite baths and generous storage space. Ideally located on desirable Connecticut Avenue, the property is just four blocks from the Van Ness Metro and loads of shopping and dining options.
