2029 Connecticut is the epitome of grand Beaux Arts construction in Washington, influenced by French architecture, including the Palace of Versailles. It was designed by Hunter and Bell and built in 1916-17. Its lobby's marble floors and exquisite plaster moldings provide an elegant welcome. It is perfectly located in Kalorama, and has been home to a former president, presidential candidate, ambassadors, members of Congress and many distinguished people representing a variety of professions. This exquisite home offers large, light-filled public spaces that gracefully flow together for elegant entertaining. It is approximately 3,150 sq ft (per floor plan) and boasts tall ceilings with fabulous, crisp moldings. The gallery space opens to the living room, library/study, dining room, and separate private bedroom wing. The primary bedroom suite includes an adjacent large, renovated full bath. There are two additional bedrooms, one additional full bath and large hall closets in this wing. Adjacent to the kitchen, with a separate entrance, there is another small bedroom and a half bath/laundry room. There is ample storage and two assigned parking spaces. The building's roof deck has just gotten a major facelift, with the passenger elevator going to the roof, new furniture and umbrellas, plus a newly renovated kitchen and restroom. The attentive staff at 2029 provides 24-hour front desk service, cleaning and building maintenance.
