TIMELESS CRAFTSMANSHIP MEETS CHIC STYLE AT
THE HISTORIC ONTARIO

The City’s first freestanding grand apartment residence – The Ontario – was constructed in 1905 at the crest of Lanier Heights – overlooking Adams Morgan, Kalorama, and the Capital below and serving as home to Senators, Diplomats, and leaders in every field in its serene park-like setting. Today, this luxurious Beaux Arts beauty combines the finest pre-War dimensions and details – including stone entry columns and marble lobbies – with chic renovations for modern living, just a short stroll to the best of the DC food scene, from tasty street food to Michelin starred restaurants!


All the hallmarks of early 20th Century craftsmanship greet you from the beautiful lobby continuing up the elevator to #518! Step inside and savor heart pine floors, 10-foot ceilings, plaster crown molding, transomed doorways, and original hearth to add style and glowing warmth to cozy winter nights. Your large living and dining area offers stunning south-facing views that brighten your home all day long. The adjacent kitchen is perfectly appointed for home cooking, with sleek updates including tile backsplash, natural light spilling across copious cabinets and ample stone prep counters.


Step down the hallway to the large hall bath, with cheerful mosaic tile and graceful clawfoot tub enhancing the historic character of your home while providing comfortable modern amenities. Enter your pleasantly large bedroom featuring even more south-facing windows, and TWO large closets ready to welcome your wardrobe!


Twenty-four hour concierge service at the main entrance guides you to all the conveniences of this classic co-operative, including onsite storage unit, laundry and fitness rooms, secure bike storage, private parking and three acres of serene flowering gardens and courtyards on all sides – unique among historic city buildings. A sylvan retreat, just steps to Rock Creek Park and the National Zoo, is also conveniently located 3 blocks to groceries and Adams Morgan restaurants, or 15-minute stroll to Woodley or Columbia Heights Metro and retail.


Grab the opportunity to make your OWN history at your home in the stately Ontario!
