Both Modern and Timeless Co-Op Features at the Northumberland


Located at the corner of New Hampshire Ave and V Street, the Northumberland essentially straddles three neighborhoods. It is in the northern part of Dupont Circle, near the U Street Corridor and Adams Morgan. The building is also just a couple blocks south of the well-known Meridian Hill Park which is generally associated with the Columbia Heights neighborhood. Regardless of how you define the boundary lines, however, this is a quiet and leafy residential area, known for its amazing historic buildings and architecture.

The Northumberland is home to 67 cooperative units, ranging from studios to three-bedroom layouts, and from around 500 to over 2,000 square feet in size. These are timeless treasures, often with intriguing layouts that comport to the building’s triangular shape. You’re also apt to find a lot of vintage details, from classic hardwood floors to lovely built-ins, to fun nooks and crannies. What has most often changed is the kitchens. Because let’s face it, who really wants a century-old cooking space? Out with the old ice box and in with the fancy new stainless steel fridge!
