The Winchester Condominiums

Located at 1807 California Street NW, Washington, DC 20009 | Adams Morgan

With its exquisite details and distinctive rooflines, The Winchester is a former apartment building that is now home to 24 one and two-bedroom condominium units. Originally built in 1909, the historic brick structure was lovingly renovated at the time of its condominium conversion, faithfully retaining much of the original character while also upgrading kitchens and bathrooms.

The Winchester is located at 1807 California Street, just steps from 18th Street and an incredible collection of popular restaurants. This is the southern part of Adams Morgan, and very close to the next-door neighborhoods of Kalorama to the west and Dupont Circle to the south. The condominium is in a hilly part of the neighborhood, on a tree-lined street that is pleasantly walkable. The building sits up on a grassy embankment, with steps leading up to the wide double doors. Large and boxy front bays combine with memorable limestone detailing, surrounding the windows, above the front doors, and across the top of the structure. There is alleyway parking along the side as well as in back, including assigned spaces.
