MERIDIAN HILL STUDIO APARTMENT2633 15TH STREET NW 3WASHINGTON, DC 20009




Tucked within the storied walls of the iconic Meridian Hill Studio Apartments, this one-of-a-kind residence — formed from two original apartments — is offered for the very first time. Featured in Washington's Best Addresses, and just steps from Meridian Hill Park and its newly reopened cascading waterfall, this is a home defined by light, history, and artistry in equal measure. Step into the grand salon and feel the room expand around you: soaring 24-foot vaulted ceilings, a spectacular wall of south-facing windows, and a luminous expanse of glass brick flood the space with light, all grounded by handsome built-in storage. A wood-burning fireplace, framed in original handmade ceramic tile, anchors the room, while herringbone hardwood floors underfoot add quiet elegance throughout. Designed in 1922 by George Oakley Totten, Jr. for Mary Foote Henderson, this enclave was conceived as a haven for artists — and that spirit endures today. Soaring rooms and abundant natural light were made for presenting large-scale work, and the current owners' architects have honored that legacy, seamlessly weaving the two original homes into one graceful retreat. The result: five bedrooms, two additional offices or dens, and four full and two half baths, unfolding across four beautifully considered levels. Original architectural details remain throughout — ornamental balustrades, decorative concrete elements, and interior leaded-glass windows that look out over the great room. The chef's kitchen, finished in marble and glass tile, meets every modern need, complemented by central A/C. Two generous primary suites, one with its own wood-burning fireplace, offer private retreats on each wing. Two off-street parking spaces complete the picture with rare, welcome convenience. Set back from the street behind a small, tree-lined courtyard, the home sits just moments from Malcolm X Park, with effortless access to the best of Mount Pleasant, Adams Morgan, and the 14th Street corridor — and mere blocks from Harris Teeter and the Columbia Heights Metro. The monthly fee covers property taxes, parking, master building insurance, water, trash, landscaping, and exterior maintenance — and with the building's underlying mortgage fully paid off, this is a rare opportunity built on true financial stability.
