WASHINGTON, DC 20009
Description
QUINTESSENTIAL DC! This is one of Washington's most beautiful buildings to call home. The Renaissance, formerly the historic Kenesaw, is a distinguished Beaux-Arts building featured in James Goode's "BEST ADDRESSES" and one of the very first apartment houses ever built in the nation's capital, once home to congressmen, dignitaries, and Hall of Fame pitcher Walter Johnson. Ideally positioned in the heart of Mount Pleasant, where historic architecture, tree-lined streets, and vibrant city living come together seamlessly, this rarely available residence is a true opportunity to own a piece of Washington history. This spacious CORNER home is filled with character and natural light, offering OVERSIZED WINDOWS on multiple exposures, soaring charm, and timeless details throughout. Corner units like this seldom come to market, and it shows why: warm hardwood flooring flows throughout, complemented by beautifully preserved original wood trim and elegant arched windows that add architectural depth rarely found in newer construction. The bright and airy living room offers generous space for both relaxing and entertaining, while large windows frame leafy neighborhood views. The kitchen features granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, gas cooking, and ample prep space, creating a functional and efficient layout for everyday living. Just beyond, the spacious bedroom serves as a peaceful retreat, highlighted by stunning oversized arched windows and enough room for additional seating or workspace. The classic black-and-white tiled bathroom adds to the home's timeless appeal. The Renaissance is one of Mount Pleasant's most recognizable and architecturally significant buildings, known for its stately facade, grand marble lobby, and well-maintained common spaces. Residents enjoy secure entry, elevator access, on-site laundry facilities, and professional management, all within a building rich in historic character. The location is truly exceptional, with a 99 Walk Score that qualifies as a Walker's Paradise. Meridian Hill Park and its famous cascading fountain sit just down the block, an extraordinary front garden for sunset picnics and Sunday drum circles, while the trails of Rock Creek Park and the National Zoo are a short stroll west. The Mount Pleasant Street village is around the corner, with morning tacos at La Tejana, fresh bread at Elle, the Saturday farmers market, coffee shops, and beloved neighborhood dining. Blocks from the Columbia Heights Metro, Giant, Target, Each Peach Market, fitness studios, and the energy of Adams Morgan, this address offers the rare balance of landmark living, green space, and urban convenience, all within a short stroll.
