Welcome to 2101 Connecticut, Washington's renowned premier cooperative, designed by Joseph Abel and George Santmyers in 1927. Opened as a high-end rental by BF Saul in 1928, it was converted to owned co-operative apartments in 1976. According to James Goode, author of Best Addresses, the builder, Harry J. Bralove, said "Occupying the entire frontage on Connecticut Avenue between Wyoming Avenue and Kalorama Road, 2101 Connecticut Avenue is located in Washington's most fashionable residential center. It crowns one of the highest points in the city of Washington and is so designed that each apartment has three exposures, thus assuring a maximum of light and ventilation." 2101, as it's widely known, is perfectly sited in Kalorama in very close proximity to the Dupont and Woodley Metro stops, The Phillips Collection, restaurants in Dupont, Adams Morgan and Woodley, many shops, coffee and gelato bars, galleries, supermarkets, the famed Sunday Dupont Farmer's Market, plus all the services you need.
Apartment 78 is a grand 3,200 sq. ft., high-floor, corner residence with 9-foot ceilings, enjoying bright east, south, and north exposures from windows on three sides, and is one of the largest floor plans in the building. A welcoming foyer with a powder room and coat closet opens to the elegant gallery, a signature feature of 2101. The gallery connects the spacious, piano-sized living room with a wood-burning fireplace, the formal dining room (large enough to seat twenty), and a family room with a wet bar -- perfect for entertaining. The family room could also function as a second private bedroom as it features an ensuite bath. The private primary suite includes a serene bedroom, study/library with temperature controlled wine storage, and a spa-like bath featuring a TOTO Washlet bidet. The large kitchen is a cook's dream with professional-grade appliances and abundant storage. Completing this remarkable apartment is a sunroom surrounded by windows with tree-top views and an additional private bedroom with private hall bath, conveniently located near the apartment's second entrance. The home includes one assigned parking space.
The front desk is staffed 24/7 and there is a full-time engineer and super on staff, plus a cleaning team. There are four roof terraces at 2101, including two covered gazebos, all enjoying sweeping views of the city. In season the residents may use the two gas grills and the herb gardens. The fitness center on the lobby level is state of the art and there is an additional Exercise Studio for yoga and private personal training. There is a board room with seating and a built-in bar on the lobby level that can be reserved for individual use.
**The apartment may be rented furnished for an extra charge.**
