Welcome to The Mercury Condominium, a boutique, professionally managed building in the heart of Columbia Heights. This sun-filled home puts you just steps from your green urban escape - Meridian Hill (Malcolm X) Park. A Walk Score of 95 means the city's best dining, shopping, and nightlife are right outside your door. This pet-friendly 2BR/1BA residence offers 784 square feet of bright, open living with the rare combination of a low condo fee and investor-friendly rental policy. Large windows, wood floors, and a seamless layout lead to a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances, gas cooking, a breakfast bar, updated cabinetry and sink (2022), and brand-new refrigerator, oven, and dishwasher (2025). Recent upgrades including a new washer/dryer (2025), HVAC (2024), and a refreshed bath with vanity and sink (2021), toilet (2021), and newly sealed tub (2024) deliver true move-in-ready convenience. The building features a secure intercom, package drop box, and a new roof (2024) with a 25-year warranty, and the condo fee includes gas, water, and trash. Quietly tucked on a one-way street yet moments from the U Street Corridor, you'll enjoy effortless access to Trader Joe's, Streets Market, cafes, Metro stations, several veterinarian clinics, and the energy of Columbia Heights, Adams Morgan, Dupont, and Logan Circle - offering the ideal balance of lifestyle, location, and value. *Owners are also interested in selling.
