Metropolitan Overlook Condos For Sale
Up in Washington, DC’s northeastern Eckington neighborhood, is an ambitious recent condo conversion. Dating back to 1929, Metropolitan Overlook is a monolithic four-story brownstone building that stood vacant and neglected for two decades. That was before developers Menkiti Group and Dantes Partners, together with funding from City First Homes, rolled up their sleeves on a “total gut rehab.”
Located at 1831 2nd Street NE in the District’s 20002 zip code, the project was completed in 2013, with 37 one and two-bedroom market rate, workforce and affordable condos for sale. Eleven of the units qualify as “permanent affordability”, while all feature a combination of modern amenities, bright and open floor plans, and tributes to an earlier era when the building was home to grand old apartments.
There are 13 different models, typically ranging in size from 500 to 800 square feet, and with prices from the high $100s to low $300s. Inside you’ll find delightful original hardwood floors that have been faithfully preserved, plus open gourmet kitchens with espresso cabs, stainless steel GE appliances, and granite counters and breakfast bars. There are also luxurious baths, designer lighting and washer/dryer stacks.

Additional Info About Metropolitan Overlook Condominiums
Common amenities include a new elevator, a community room, secure access and an awesome rooftop deck with wood floors, sweeping views and large wicker lounge furniture. Eckington is a neighborhood that has been upwardly transitioning in recent years, following trends in nearby communities like Brookland, Trinidad and Shaw. The building is super close to the Harry Thomas Recreation Center, the National Arboretum, and the Metropolitan Branch bike trail.
Residents at the Metropolitan Overlook are also reasonably close to the Rhode Island Metro to the north, and the Noma-Gallaudet-U Metro to the south. For the money and the workmanship, this is a terrific addition to DC’s rapidly escalating real estate market, offering condos for sale at a reasonable price. That, of course, depends on availability.
