About This Property
Welcome to The Ontario - "The Grande Dame of Adams Morgan" - a
magnificent Pre-War Beaux-Arts luxury apartment house constructed
in 1904 under the aegis of noted Washington architect James G.
Hill. Supremely sited on three acres of park-like setting, The
Ontario is nestled in the heart of eclectic Adams Morgan, one of
the most vibrant neighborhoods in the nation's capital. Numerous
Washington dignitaries have called The Ontario home, among them
General Douglas MacArthur and Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington
Post reporter Carl Bernstein. ------ Upon entering the massive
wrought-iron clad doors visitors are greeted by an elegantly
appointed lobby that's sure to impress. Sweeping arched doorways
and six-foot high marble wainscoting meet marble chip terrazzo
floors lined with a Greek key mosaic tile border. Original brass
mailboxes shine as bright as the day they were first installed more
than 100 years ago. An elaborate wrought iron public staircase
compliments wood-paneled elevators. A richly decorated parlor
welcomes guests in style. And that's just the lobby! ------ Ascend
to the third floor of this six-story architectural treasure and
you're steps away from a rare opportunity. The faded glory of Unit
304 awaits the vision of its next fortunate owner. This home is
ripe with possibilities of improvements and is priced to provide
instant equity from a thoughtful and complete restoration. ------
Rediscover the historic details that abound in this home -- The
spacious living room with voluminous 10' ceilings, original plaster
crown moldings and original Victorian fireplace featuring an
exquisite 4.5ft. high mantel and cast iron hearth emblazoned with a
torch & leaf design. The living room opens to the large dining room
through original pocket doors. The large dining room features two
vintage leaded glass built in corner hutches. The formal foyer,
heart-pine floors throughout, exposed woodwork, substantial
moldings, transoms with brass hardware, windows in every room and
other sublime details recall all the elegance of the era in which
they were designed. This premier residence is awash in sunlight
thanks to grand six-foot high windows and predominantly southern
exposures. This west-facing unit enjoys charming streetscape views.
------The kitchen was previously updated with quartz counters but
could be redone to add full cabinetry and even a washer/dryer,
which are allowed by the building pending board approval. A
preservationist~s dream, the vintage bathroom has been preserved
for 115 years and still features original hexagon floor tile, 4ft.
high white bathroom subway tile wainscoting with decorative egg and
dart border tile, original Carrera marble vanity, claw foot tub,
built-in medicine cabinet and transom. ------The building provides
residents with on-site waitlist parking for between $75 and $115
per month , front desk service from 7am-11pm Monday-Friday and
24-hours from Friday morning until Monday evening, roof deck, a
~summer house~ gazebo, guest parking, extra storage bin (7 ft.
deep, 4 ft. wide and 8 ft. 10in. high), a social room with
billiards table, an assembly room for large parties, an herb
garden, bicycle storage, multiple elevators, on-site building
manager and more! The building provides a laundry room, but allows
residents to install washer/dryer in units. The building welcomes
pets, including dogs, with board approval. Central air conditioning
may be installed with board approval.Once a turn-of-the-century
rural retreat, the area now boasts some of the city's best
restaurants (including Michelin-Star Tail Up Goat) and nightlife.
Here you can enjoy old world elegance less than two blocks from all
the action of this hip neighborhood. Additionally, Woodley Park and
Columbia Heights are within walking distance and both neighborhoods
have Metro stations. Rock Creek Park and the National Zoo are just
around the corner and downtown DC is only minutes away.
The manager has listed the unit size as 837 square feet.
