Overview
OPEN HOUSE CANCELED. Under Contract. Location, Location, Location! This is the one you have been waiting for, an elegant one bedroom at the storied Mendota in the historic Kalorama neighborhood. This beautiful co-op unit is located just a stone's throw away from Dupont Circle, Adams Morgan, the Metro, Rock Creek Park, Kalorama Park and Woodley Park. Exuding period charm and a rich history, this pied-à-terre once was the home of Jeanette Rankin, the first female member of Congress. The beautiful building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is featured in James Goode’s book Best Addresses. This gem of a property features 10' ceilings, oversized windows, a decorative Victorian style fireplace with a wood mantle and original Minten glazed tile, original carved four-panel wood doors and rare Heart Pine floors. The mirrored entry hall leads to the comfortable living room and dining area, featuring built-in shelves & cabinetry. The sizable bedroom offers space for a queen-sized bed, nightstands and a desk as well as a closet with double doors. The compact and well-outfitted kitchen includes a refrigerator, gas stove, built-in microwave, garbage disposal, 18" dishwasher and wood and glass-front cabinetry. A classic bathroom enjoys a claw foot tub, original hexagon mosaic tile flooring and subway tile walls, and a pedestal sink. This unit also has extra storage in the building's basement. The Mendota, one of the oldest Grand Dame buildings in Kalorama, was designed by James G. Hill and constructed in 1901. The vintage elevator was converted to automatic operation in 2011. There is also a back-up service elevator. A concierge attends the lobby during weekdays. A reception room is off of the lobby. The common areas include bike storage and laundry room. In-unit washers & dryers may be approved by the Coop Board on a case-by-case basis subject to requirements. Cats are welcome. The building requires owner-occupancy but subleasing is permitted for a limited time subject to restrictions and approval. The co-op fee includes concierge, real estate taxes, water, sewer, heat and gas.
