The analoston Condominium - historic condos offering modern convenience in washington, dc
Modern living at the landmark analoston in dupont circle, washington, dc
The Analoston condominium, located at 1718 Corcoran Street NW, Washington, DC 20009, was one of the first apartment buildings in Washington, DC to include an elevator. Designed by renowned architect George S. Cooper in the Beaux-Arts style, the taupe brick structure with its exquisite detailing was completed back in 1885, and is listed in James Goode’s “Best Addresses” book about the most notable apartments in the District. The building’s name is emblazoned in limestone halfway up the front, and is likely a variation on “Analostan,” deriving from a 17th century Native American tribe, as well as the original name of DC’s Roosevelt Island. Other historic buildings in the neighborhood include the Cairo, the Northumberland, and the Albemarle. After serving as luxury rental apartments for many years, the Analoston was eventually renovated and converted to condominium living with 26 residences, and serves as a shining example of how older buildings can still provide a luxury lifestyle experience in today's modern era. The location is also important, in the heart of Dupont Circle, a historic district that has also evolved over time while retaining a high degree of desirability as one of Washington's favorite communities.

Modern Convenience at the Historic Analoston Condominium
The 26 residences at Analoston are not particularly large, ranging from around 350 to 750 square feet with layouts from studios to two bedrooms. But these beautifully restored units are true treasures, combining original architectural details with new contemporary upgrades. The location is also key, on the charming tree-lined Corcoran Street just steps from 17th Street and the heart of Dupont Circle’s popular restaurant scene. This is a highly walkable historic district with canopies of trees, quaint sidewalks, and incredible buildings and rowhouses.
Condos at the Analoston pay homage to yesteryear while still offering modern conveniences. You’ll often find at least one exposed brick wall in each apartment, along with restored hardwood floors. Many of the units still have fireplaces, some also have dramatic three-window bays. Murphy beds are found in some of the studio apartments. This is an old building with a lot of character and flavor, and interior remodels have either been done or not done according to individual owners. As a result, you may find a new gourmet kitchen with all the new bells and whistles, or you could find an apartment with an older galley kitchen.
The Analoston has long had a reputation as a wallet-friendly gem, a place where you can find a smallish apartment that exudes true charm while not necessarily breaking the bank. Considering Dupont Circle’s status for high-priced real estate, it’s nice to know that there are still some buildings that are unique, historic, and relatively affordable. Grocery shopping is a snap, with a local Safeway right across the street at the corner of Corcoron and 17th Street as well as the nearby Whole Foods. Bars and restaurants like Dupont Italian Kitchen, Annie’s Paramount Steak House, Prego Again, Hank’s Oyster Bar, and the Commodore DC are literally steps away. You can browse for books at nearby Kramers, grab coffee at Java House or Au Lait, and stroll a few blocks south to the legendary traffic circle with an inner park and fountains, known as Dupont Circle.
