The Maxwell Condos For Sale, Washington DC
Which do you prefer—history or modernity in Washington Metro real estate? Some are fans of new mixed-use buildings with jutting angles and walls of glass. And some buyers favor century-old charm—as long as the residences themselves have all the luxury amenities. The Maxwell Condominium in Columbia Heights belongs to the age-old category—a 1909 structure designed by the notable architect Albert Beers, and built by one of DC’s most prolific and famous developers, Harry Wardman.
This glorious brick former apartment building has a myriad of exterior flourishes, including pediment windows, wide widow’s walk balconies and a giant front porch with balustrades. Inside the three-story building are 18 condos—sometimes for sale if you’re lucky. These are typically listed as two-bedroom units, although some are actually one bedroom and a multipurpose library or den. There is also a choice of one or two full baths.
