Apartment 5CW has been thoughtfully updated to show off its old world charm and incorporate modern conveniences. The apartment boasts 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a separate dining room, an expansive living room, a large & versatile kitchen, a laundry room and GARAGE PARKING. The unit features replacement windows throughout, stunning built-ins and tons of storage. A west-facing panorama affords a view of the Washington Cathedral and a south facing balcony off the primary bedroom provides a sweeping view of Virginia. A large chef’s kitchen has been configured to expand useable and very flexible space. Both bedrooms offer en suite bathrooms and a convenient powder room is discreetly tucked away. The second bedroom also can be used as a den/home office and features custom built-ins that include a desk. Completing this beautiful apartment is a separate laundry & storage area behind the kitchen. Building amenities include additional private storage, an on-site porter, and a fitness room.

*Neighborhood highlights abound: restaurants, myriad shops, embassies, a Sunday farmers market, art galleries (including the Phillips Collection), Mitchell Park, Rock Creek Park Bike & Hiking Trails, two METRO stops and more. 5CW is the perfect downtown home for today’s lifestyle!

PLEASE NOTE: The St. Nicholas is a no-dogs building. The professionally measured floor plan shows that the residence comprises 2110 sq. ft. rather than 1743 reflected in the tax record.
