Modern Condo Features at Carolina on the Hill
In a part of Washington, DC that is well-known for historic condo conversions, Carolina on the Hill stands firmly on its own, merging new modern luxury finishes with intriguing vintage imprints. The Capitol Hill residential community also has a fascinating backstory.
Fronted by green lawns and a circular drive, the landmark building with its Beaux-Arts corners and promontory was known for a lengthy period as Saint Catherine’s Home for Working Girls. Intended as a dormitory for single women who would pay a modest weekly fee for board and job training, the Capitol Hill location was operated by the Baltimore-based Sisters of Mercy. This altruistic global network was founded by Irish Catholic laywoman Catherine McAuley, along with two other sisters and the backing of the church. Also known as Three Sisters, the charitable outreach operated several Saint Catherine’s chapters throughout the U.S. and abroad, including orphanages, shelters, and homes for working women.
The large property at 101 North Carolina Avenue was ultimately purchased by the Tenacity Group undergoing a concerted redevelopment and renovation process which was completed in 2005. The result was 49 studio and one-bedroom condominium units. The floorplans are fairly small in size, generally ranging from around 300 to 460 square feet, with a few outliers that can be as large as 615 square feet. But as modest as the footage may be, these apartments are really quite airy and delightful with soaring ceilings, seven-foot tall windows, picturesque views, and in some cases large bays. The restored hardwood floors are absolutely gorgeous, and the open kitchens with their stone counters and stainless steel appliances are stunning. There are wood-burning fireplaces in many of the units, and you’ll also find all sorts of fun nooks, alcoves, built-ins, and other architectural details.
