an elegant 2 bedroom in Kalorama
On the second floor of the beautiful and beloved Woodward building, this 2-bedroom co-op apartment achieves sophistication and comfort. The seller fell in love with this home after considering 7 other apartments, immediately gravitating towards how this space had retained much of its original charm and character. During their ownership, the seller added custom window treatments & beautiful decor, elevating the apartment’s sunny and stylish disposition.

1835 Phelps Place NW, Unit 22 – listed by Chesley McCarty and Malcolm Dilley
A sophisticated kitchen
filled with subtle storage
While contemporary compared to the historic bones of the apartment, the kitchen feels efficient and hospitable. An architect who previously lived in the apartment worked within the kitchen footprint to integrate smart storage solutions that amplify the storage. A west-facing window, overlooking a historic Kalorama building, lets in glorious afternoon light that makes the space glow.
A radiant dining & living area
The main living area contains plenty of space for both a proper sitting area and dining table. Custom window treatments, which help to filter and frame the light throughout the day, convey with the apartment.
Cozy nook for reading or entertaining
There is a worthwhile nook carved into the side of the living room, lined with shelves for storage and treasures. This space is currently used as a reading nook, but could also be a hub for entertaining supplies and other celebratory finds.
A sunny primary bedroom
This bedroom receives gorgeous afternoon light, also framed and filtered by custom curtains that convey with the apartment. The room has space for a king size bed, dresser, and reading chair, and there is a sizable closet as well.
Graceful second bedroom
Tucked off of the main foyer, a second bedroom with two grand windows welcomes soft morning light. This bedroom has a closet, a built in storage unit that blends into the room’s architecture, and room for a queen-size bed. A similar apartment in the building converted this space into a library.
A contemporary bathroom with clean lines
The well-lit hall bathroom is filled with subtle storage solutions, allowing for plenty of opportunities for things to be tucked away, as well as a sizable shower and a towel warmer.
