New Condo Spotlight: 2501 Pennsylvania Avenue

Playing up the association with another Pennsylvania Avenue address, 2501 bills itself as an elite new building between Georgetown and the Capitol.

By Matt Carr   Published Wednesday, October 22, 2008

What: 2501 Pennsylvania Avenue

Number of Units: 16

Floor Plans and Sizing: The condos range from a 2,200-square-foot two bedroom with 2.5 baths to a 4,500-square-foot three bedroom and den penthouse with 3.5 baths.

Prices: $1,900,000 to $5,000,000

Luxurious Touches: Can’t stand the sound of traffic? Each unit comes with sound attenuation, which almost completely blocks out noise from Pennsylvania Avenue’s bustling rush hour. All units are fitted with eco-friendly, wide-plank wood flooring, which comes in teak, Brazilian cherry, and oak. The 10-foot ceilings in the majority of condos are complimented by numerous well-placed, light-filled windows. Some residences include terraces.

Perks: Each unit comes with two parking spaces and additional storage. The two efficiencies on the first floor can be purchased by residents only, for use as servants’ quarters.

Security: All residences come wired for a security system. There’s also a 24-hour doorman and 24-hour closed-circuit television monitoring system.  

Location: Close to Georgetown and Dupont Circle and just a few blocks from the Foggy Bottom Metro, the building sits in the midst of some of the area’s best dining, shopping, and nightlife. Trader Joe’s is just a few feet away on 25th Street.

So What’s Wrong With It? Aside from exorbitant prices in a bad market, scaffolding remains on the building and the sidewalks are a mess from construction delays. Look for it to clean-up within the next 45 days.

Number Sold: Only one, but the official opening was Tuesday.
