Property Description

Welcome to one of Washington’s most coveted addresses—The Mendota in Kalorama Triangle. Built in 1901 in the grand Beaux-Arts style, The Mendota holds the distinction of being the oldest intact luxury apartment building in Washington, D.C. More than a century later, it remains a landmark of historic elegance, meticulously preserved to maintain its early 20th-century charm. This spacious corner one-bedroom residence offers beautiful multiple-exposure views overlooking the tree-lined streets of Kalorama and 1,000sqft of interior space reminiscent of a chic Parisian flat. The home retains many original details, including 10-foot ceilings, crown molding, gleaming hardwood floors, chestnut doors, and a classic fireplace. Separate living and dining rooms enhance the elegant layout, seamlessly paired with modern upgrades such as a high-end kitchen and an elegant marble bathroom. Additional features include an in-unit washer/dryer and generous closet space. Leased fully furnished, the home is thoughtfully appointed with antiques sourced from around the world—some dating back to the 1800s—paired with details such as fine glassware, dishware, and china for hosting elegant gatherings. The furnishings also include a bedroom TV, a projector screen in the living room, an espresso machine, and much more, ensuring both comfort and sophistication. All utilities, including high-speed internet, are included in the rent for a truly effortless move-in experience. Residents of The Mendota enjoy a grand building entry with concierge service, a landscaped courtyard and gardens, and a renovated bike room. The Kalorama location offers easy access to Dupont Circle, Woodley Park, and Adams Morgan, with multiple Metro stations and transit options just a short walk away. Experience the rare opportunity to live in one of Washington’s premier historic enclaves, where Beaux-Arts architecture, heritage, and modern luxury converge.
