A legendary address and modern living conspire to dazzle! The Cairo's #202 is a beautifully maintained 1BR/1BA that makes the most of its historic character. Oversized south-facing windows, including a striking curved bay in the living room, flood the space with natural light all day. Tall ceilings and original exposed brick add character and volume, while hardwood floors and fresh paint throughout give the unit a crisp, move-in-ready feel. This layout allows for enjoyably distinct areas for living and dining. The kitchen is outfitted with stainless steel appliances, and the marble bathroom brings a quiet, elevated finish. Thoughtful storage is built in throughout, a rare find. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Cairo pairs Moorish Revival grandeur with the ease of full service modern condo living. Residents enjoy a stunning roof deck with 360* views, elevator access, professional management, concierge service, and pet-friendly policies allowing up to two pets. Ideally located just steps from Metro access, bus lines, and bike share stations, this home offers effortless connectivity to everything the city has to offer. Enjoy the convenience of nearby grocery options including Safeway, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe's, along with a vibrant mix of restaurants, cafés, and neighborhood amenities right outside your door. HVAC replaced 2026. Condo fee includes water, sewer, trash, and hot water.
