About the building

Classy, peaceful, one-bedroom unfurnished apartment in Columbia Heights at 1321 Fairmont St NW Apt 404 available Aug 1. On top floor, quiet alley side, of a 31-unit four-floor condo building - no one above you and minimal street noise, with quiet neighbors! City skyline views to north and east, with nice morning light and sunrise views, with distant views of the Basilica from the kitchen window and a radio tower from the bedroom window that looks like the Eiffel Tower (you can pretend you're in Paris!) - both landmarks lighted at night. 5-min walk to the edge of the Columbia Heights hill, where you can gaze south at the Washington DC downtown skyline, including the Capitol and Washington Monument. Living room and kitchen windows face east and bedroom window faces north. Honey-toned hardwood floors in living room and kitchen, new carpet (2023) in bedroom.
