2153 California St Nw #1 · Apartment for Rent

Property Status: Active Prewar grandeur meets modern ease in this rare single level maisonette, privately entered apart from the building's main entrance and shared resident circulation at California Court, one of Washington's Best Addresses. Spanning more than 1,250 square feet, the two bedroom, two bath residence lives with the independence and privacy of a home while retaining the conveniences of distinguished building living. Its entire footprint is arranged on one level, offering true single level living with no interior stairs. A private street entrance leads through the building's manicured garden to the apartment's own front door. Inside, ten deep set windows across three exposures fill the rooms with natural light and frame lush garden views. Hardwood floors, generous proportions, and original cast iron columns lend authentic prewar character, complemented by central air conditioning and in unit laundry. The expansive living and dining areas offer exceptional flexibility for entertaining, working from home, and everyday living. The kitchen features Poggenpohl cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, abundant counter space, and excellent storage. The primary suite includes generous closets and an en suite bath with radiant heated floors. A spacious second bedroom and full hall bath are equally well suited for guests, a dedicated office, or shared living. Residents enjoy package storage, assigned storage, bike storage, elevator access, professionally maintained common areas, and beautifully landscaped grounds, offering the privacy of a private entrance without sacrificing the ease and amenities of an established condominium building. The setting is quintessential Kalorama, tucked away among embassies, mature trees, and distinguished residences, yet only a few blocks from the energy of Dupont Circle and downtown Washington. Kalorama Market is directly across the street, Mitchell Park is moments away, and Woodley Park, Embassy Row, Rock Creek Park, neighborhood dining, and Metro are all within easy reach. Private when you want it, connected when you need it, and unmistakably Kalorama. Office Phone: (228) 324-7894 Copyright © 2026 Bright MLS. All rights reserved.
