2901 16th Street NW Unit 602

Six stories up in one of 16th Street's most storied buildings, this one-bedroom has the kind of light and quiet that only comes with a top-floor perch — and views west to the National Cathedral from both the living room and bedroom. The Copperfield has stood at Harvard and 16th since the early 1910s — Italian Renaissance Revival details on the outside, real hardwood floors and a sense of permanence on the inside. Inside, the layout works hard for its 565 square feet: a proper ensuite bath, in-unit washer and dryer, stainless appliances, and central air — no window units, no laundromat runs. The location does a lot of the talking. Meridian Hill Park is minutes away for morning runs or Sunday picnics, and Columbia Heights Metro is a short walk for anyone commuting downtown. Mount Pleasant's restaurant row and 16th Street's embassies are equally close, putting Adams Morgan, U Street, and Columbia Heights all within easy reach. Pet-friendly, elevator building, 23 residences total — a small, well-kept condo community rather than a high-rise.
