1661 Crescent Place - luxury Cooperatives in washington, dc

Timeless elegance at 1661 Crescent Place in adams morgan

One of Washington’s “Best Addresses,” 1661 Crescent Place is also named for its street address at 1661 Crescent Place NW, Washington, DC. One of the District' earliest cooperatives, the impressive Beaux Arts building was designed by Joseph Younger and completed in 1926. Located in the Adams Morgan neighborhood, this grand old six-story structure is home to 53 residences and has long been a favored place to live. The huge, tiled lobby is something straight out of a movie and the Adams Morgan location is also appealing, tucked into a quiet and hilly tree-lined street, directly across from the historic White-Meyer House estate.

1661 Crescent Place, one of Washington's Best Addresses

There are 63 co-op apartments at 1661 Crescent Place, with floorplans ranging from studios to four bedrooms. The sophisticated interior details include crown molding, built-ins, archways, and vintage hardwood floors. Some of the larger units once had servants’ quarters which have since become extra bedrooms, dens, or work-from-home spaces. The building features a wonderful roof deck, charming gardens, a doorman, concierge, and staffed front desk. There’s a nearby Harris Teeter, as well as famed restaurant rows to both the east and west, along 14th Street and 18th Street respectively.

Co-op ownership is something of a throwback to an earlier era, but it’s still popular in older major cities such as Manhattan and Washington, DC. Other notable cooperatives in the District include The Watergate in Foggy Bottom, 2540 Massachusetts Avenue in Kalorama, The Northumberland in Dupont Circle, and The Westchester in Cathedral Heights, just to name a few. Those fortunate enough to live at 1661 Crescent Place enjoy unusually spacious floorplans, gorgeous architectural details, and an accommodating front desk.

Adams Morgan has rightfully earned its hipster reputation as a vibrant neighborhood filled with creative energy. But while 1661 Crescent Place is within shouting distance of shops and restaurants, and less than a block from Meridian Hill Park, the majestic cooperative almost feels a world apart. The hilly enclave in which it is located offers a serene feeling, with quaint brick sidewalks and other well-heeled residential buildings. It almost feels more like next-door Kalorama with its mansions and embassies. For those living at 1661 Crescent Place and working in government, the location could hardly be better—simply exit the secure parking garage, turn right on 16th Street, and drive straight to the White House.
