Modern Condo Features at 4200 Cathedral
The six-story 4200 Cathedral building with its mid-century modernist look and a circular front drive is home to 183 condos with a variety of one and two-bedroom floorplans, generally ranging from around 700 to 1,100 square feet in size. There are a number of other condo and co-op buildings in the neighborhood, including the Towers with a similar architectural style on the other side of the street. While Cathedral Heights was largely developed during the late 1800s and early 1900s, there was a subsequent post-World War II development boom, including the construction of several large residential buildings along the neighborhood’s greenbelt.
Residences at 4200 Cathedral have often been remodeled by individual owners since the 1978 general renovation. The original parquet wood floors are still found in many of the units. Parquet floors with their geometric patterns started falling out of style in the 1990s and early 2000s but have staged a comeback more recently. The extra-wide horizontal sliding windows at 4200 Cathedral are another example of mid-century modernism. Many of the kitchens have white cabinetry and white counters. The pet-friendly building has 24-hour concierge service in the large front lobby with its original, futuristic Googie architectural feel, albeit with renovations. Residents also enjoy surface parking, an exceptional roof deck, a nicely equipped fitness center, a large laundry facility, and a lovely courtyard within the building’s V-shape, facing into the adjacent parkland. The popular Glover Archbold Trail is nearby for hiking.
The property is near the corner of Cathedral Avenue and New Mexico Avenue, with a bus stop right outside the building. There’s a Starbucks just up the street, along with popular local restaurants like Al Dente, Chef Geoff’s, and Shemalis. The 4200 Cathedral condominium is on the west side of Glover Archbold Park, and for that reason, some assume it to be in the Wesley Heights neighborhood rather than Cathedral Heights. The American University campus is about a half-mile to the north.
