Step into a piece of Washington, D.C.’s history with this extraordinary residence in the prestigious Kalorama neighborhood. Originally built in 1902 as the Imperial Chinese Embassy and designed by renowned architect Waddy Wood, this one-of-a-kind home blends timeless elegance with modern convenience.
Spanning over 2,300 square feet across two levels, this residence boasts 11-foot beamed ceilings, intricate Jacobean paneling, and an original wood-burning fireplace with a cozy inglenook. The expansive great room, once the embassy’s formal reception hall and state dining room, now serves as a breathtaking living space with impressive scale, stunning crown moldings, and high-end flooring.
Designed for both refined entertaining and everyday comfort, the renovated kitchen is tucked behind the great room, offering privacy while remaining easily accessible to the living and dining areas. Thoughtful updates blend seamlessly with historic charm including a new Italian stone fireplace frame, two custom primary bedroom closets, and upgraded fixtures throughout.
One of this home’s most exceptional features is its two private outdoor spaces—a large deck and a sunken garden area—accessible from every room. Whether you are sipping coffee in the morning or hosting a soirée under the stars, the seamless indoor-outdoor connection is truly rare for a condominium.
Unlike any other unit in the building, this home includes a separately deeded driveway with off-street parking for two cars, as well as a private entrance directly from the street, providing unmatched convenience. Additional recent upgrades include: fresh paint throughout, a new HVAC (2022), a new water heater (2022), custom window treatments, and an updated primary bath with a new stone countertop vanity.
Nestled in one of D.C.’s most prestigious and walkable neighborhoods, this home is minutes from Dupont Circle, Adams Morgan, and the U Street Corridor, with world-class dining, shopping, and cultural landmarks at your doorstep. A rare opportunity to own a piece of history—schedule your private tour today.
