4707 CONNECTICUT AVENUE CONDOS FOR SALE
Known simply by its address, 4707 Connecticut Avenue is one of Washington DC’s truly grand old buildings. First delivered as luxury apartments in 1929, the structure blends Tudor and Gothic Revival architecture, and was built by developer Harry M. Bralove, and a talented young draftsman named Joseph H. Abel. The young designer was still attending George Washington University at the time, and would eventually become one of the Capitol’s most noted architects.
This ornate six-story building is located in the small residential enclave of Wakefield, which is generally considered to lie within the larger Forest Hills neighborhood. DC’s With 93 residential units, 4707 Connecticut Avenue is set far back from the street, with a cobblestone circular driveway leading to a long central walkway with courtyard surroundings. The facade is accentuated by jutting “clinker bricks”, and also features limestone arches and decorative lintel blocks.

Entering the massive two-story lobby, one will be greeted by carved walnut staircase balustrades leading to the mezzanine. Far above is a decorative plaster and strapwork ceiling. The building was converted to condos for sale in the early 1980s, with central AC and heating replacing the old radiators, plus all new electrical and plumbing.
The 93 residences are, like the original apartments, a mixture of efficiencies, one, two and three-bedroom units. Sizes range from 492 to 1494 square feet. The interiors are a delightful blend of new and old, with masterfully redesigned residences that offer hardwood floors, original built-ins, tall windows set in triplicate, and amazing kitchens that blend old world charm with modern amenities. This pass-through cooking spaces have tiled floors and unique cabinets with glass end doors and overhead entry copper latticework. And while French doors once led to screened-in porches, those spaces have since been glassed-in as solariums.
Renovations have continued since the first conversion, both to common areas like the lobby, hallways and front drive, but to residences as well. The most recent work was done in 2011 and 2014. Condos for sale in this unique building typically start in the mid $300s and climb from there. Other amenities include front desk service, bike storage, laundry facilities for those extra-heavy wash days when your own washer/dryer stack isn’t enough, storage lockers, bike racks and an outdoor picnic area.
