Property Description

Park Avenue elegance thrives in the heart of Kalorama! Welcome to 2540 Massachusetts Avenue NW, one of Washington's most distinguished cooperative apartment communities. Designed by Architect Harry L. Edwards and opened in 1926 as the "Army and Navy" cooperative (owing to the large number of military officers who were among the original unit owners), the building is featured in James M. Goode's "Best Addresses" under its original name. Since the "Army and Navy" moniker caused some confusion due to its similarity to the Army-Navy Club, the building's street address eventually became the coop's official name. Over the decades, 2540 has been home to senior-level government officials, writers, university presidents, business leaders and accomplished professionals in a wide range of disciplines. The timeless elegance of the building and its prestigious location on Embassy Row continue to attract discerning homeowners who value the coop's aesthetic charm and its convenience to galleries, museums, and fine stores. restaurants and other urban delights. Apartment 105, exquisitely renovated by the current owner, is one of the largest units in the building and features an impressive entryway into a large center gallery; four bedrooms (all with ensuite bathrooms); a gorgeous kitchen with and island, marbel countertops and high-end appliances; a large, elegant dining room; a copious living room that is perfect for elegant entertaining; and two sitting rooms, one of which is currently used as an in-home gym. One of the bedroom/bathroom suites is located at the opposite end of the apartment from the Primary Suite, providing extra privacy for visiting guests or for a live-in companion/caregiver. The apartment is on the "quiet" side of the building with views of Rock Creek Park. Garage parking is available for rent from a short waitlist, and pets are allowed. The lobby features a front desk that is staffed seven days a week to receive packages and guests.
