2311 Connecticut Ave NW APT 405, Washington, DC 20008

Designer-owned and beautifully composed, this approximately 1,300-square-foot two-bedroom, two-bath residence at The Woodward pairs the grand proportions and architectural character of early 20th-century Kalorama with a distinctly modern design sensibility. Rich layers of color, pattern, and texture create a home with personality, while soaring ceilings, substantial mouldings, and graceful architectural details provide an elegant backdrop for everyday living and entertaining. A grand entry foyer opens seamlessly to the expansive living room, where nine-and-a-half-foot ceilings, wide mouldings, and gently curved walls evoke the sophistication of another era. Generous proportions accommodate multiple seating areas, while the curved architecture lends warmth and intimacy to the space. Phillip Jeffries wallcovering from the Glam Grass Collection adds depth and texture, while the windows are finished with custom Irish linen shades by The Shade Store, bringing a tailored softness to the room. The gracious dining room is perfectly scaled for large dinner parties and features an antique ice cabinet that adds character and provenance. Walls wrapped in a striking wallcovering by French luxury design house Élitis are complemented by oatmeal cotton-silk weave Roman shades from The Shade Store, creating a richly layered yet refined setting for entertaining. A five-panel door connects to the kitchen, where a classic checkerboard floor and built-in hutch complement modern appliances, gas cooking, and newly installed quartz countertops. Both bedrooms offer impressive scale and generous closet storage. The primary suite includes a refreshed en-suite bath, while the second bedroom is distinguished by an extraordinary 17-foot wall of floor-to-ceiling built-ins, providing abundant storage and exceptional flexibility. A second full bath and a separate storage unit in the building completes this special offering. Built in 1911 and featured in James Goode’s celebrated architectural guide, Best Addresses, The Woodward is admired for its distinctive Spanish Colonial and Beaux-Arts influences. Its handsome lobby showcases mosaic tile and decorative plasterwork, while residents enjoy a staffed weekday front desk, laundry facilities on every floor, bike storage, and an exceptional rooftop terrace with grilling facilities and a covered summer pavilion—an inviting perch for taking in sunset views toward the National Cathedral. The building is pet- and investor-friendly, with a minimum one-year lease requirement, and the condominium fee includes heat, electricity, gas, water, sewer, and basic cable. Ideally positioned at the crossroads of Kalorama, Adams Morgan, and Woodley Park, the residence is approximately 0.4 miles from the Woodley Park Metro and close to Kalorama Park, Mitchell Park, Tatte Bakery, So’s Your Mom Deli, Namak, Perry’s, Lapis, Streets Market, Yes! Organic Market, LivingWell Health Club and Pool at the Washington Hilton, and a wide array of neighborhood cafés, restaurants, shops, and conveniences. Architectural distinction, expressive design, gracious proportions, and one of Washington’s most coveted residential settings come together in a home of uncommon character.
