1860 California Street NW # 403

This Parisian-style flat located between eclectic Adams Morgans 18th Street and elegant and chic Kalorama must be seen in person to be savored appropriately. The Beaux-Arts building, with its classic brick faade and only four apartments per floor, is the very definition of boutique living. Upon entering this home, your eyes immediately try to adjust to the intense light that floods the apartment from the eight large west-facing windows. As your eyes adjust, they are drawn to a set of French doors that face South in anticipation that they open onto a spacious private deck. It is natural and easy to imagine yourself living in such an exquisite, joyous, and light-filled setting. The entryway is an expansive gallery wall perfect for showcasing art or the priceless momentos captured during a life well lived. As you are drawn in towards the light, you will find a generous bedroom large enough to accommodate a desk, hanging bookshelves, and a bureau with plenty of space to spare. Additionally, there is an updated bathroom with serene blue glass shower wall tiles, a timeless marble shower floor, and an encaustic cement bathroom floor reminiscent of Mediterranian mosaics. Advancing toward the well-proportioned open-concept living and dining area, it is easy to look out and get lost in dreams of the dinner parties you could host both inside and outside on the large private deck. With views to the South as far as the eye can see, including a direct sight line to the Washington Monument, perfect for 4th of July gatherings, and National Airport and beyond, you can follow the flight patterns of the planes in the distance as they make their way to and from the airport. It is truly a breathtaking view. An efficient and well-designed kitchen, open to the dining area, with granite counters, an undermount sink, and stainless steel appliances make it possible to see how the dream of entertaining could become a reality. Centrally located to shopping, several nearby grocery stores, public transportation, and absolutely all of the amenities and offerings of an international city, envision yourself living your best life by calling this your home. Even Emily would be jealous!
