Stepping into The Northumberland is like stepping back into a time when craftsmanship and elegance defined city living. Built in 1909 by the prolific Harry Wardman and designed by Albert Beers, this iconic Georgian Revival building has been a treasured landmark of Washington, D.C. for over a century. With its stately columned entrance, intricate limestone detailing, and grand cornice, it remains one of the city’s best-preserved examples of early 20th-century architecture.
Thanks to its early conversion to cooperative ownership in 1920, The Northumberland has been meticulously cared for over the decades, offering residents not just a home, but a piece of Washington’s history. And now, a rare opportunity awaits within its storied walls.
This 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom co-op blends the building’s original charm with thoughtful modern updates. Inside, the beautifully stained wooden parquet floors, high ceilings, and oversized windows reflect the timeless character of the space, while the open-plan kitchen brings contemporary function with soapstone countertops and a Wolf gas stove, perfect for those who love to cook and entertain. The spacious bedrooms both feature walk-in closets and built-in storage throughout, a rarity in historic buildings.
Beyond the unit itself, The Northumberland offers residents a fabulous rooftop deck with sweeping city views, a reservable guest suite for your out of town guests, bike storage, and communal laundry in the basement. Its location is just as impressive—three blocks from the U Street Metro, one block from Meridian Hill Park, and moments away from the vibrant dining, culture, and entertainment of NW DC.
