The Benjamin Condos For Sale, Washington DC
The Benjamin is a perfectly lovely old building in Columbia Heights that was renovated and converted to a condominium in 2005. Born in 1925, the four-story Beaux Arts structure has two distinctive hexagonal front bays, framing an ornate front entrance. There are 24 one and two-bedroom units in the building which occasionally means condos for sale. When these gems come on the market, you’d better be prepared to swoop in like a bird of prey!
Enter a luxury unit and feast your eyes on cherry hardwood floors, exquisite original detailing, tons of light and fireplaces. The old galley kitchens have been nicely transformed and opened up with oversized maple cabinets, granite counters and stainless steel appliances. But beyond the standard upscale accoutrements that you’d expect from most Washington DC condos for sale, these units just have tons of character and charm, with fun nooks and crannies and a real homey feel.
