Welcome to The Ontario, a stunning and iconic pre-war, full-service building in tree-lined Lanier Heights! Perched majestically atop the Ontario hill, this beautifully preserved cooperative features a grand entry, lush and flowering foliage, and ornate details from the moldings to the iron staircases. Unit #420 is just as charming as the building! With solid wood doors and trim, high ceilings, hardwood floors, hand-painted German tile (kitchen), and a clawfoot tub, this supremely functional, 1bed/1bath unit is a chic, urban sanctuary with fabulous storage solutions. The wall-to-wall/floor-to-ceiling bedroom closet is a custom expansion, which adds abundant storage to this unit. The kitchen has been opened with upper cabinets retained (but moved up) and additional storage on the living room side, which retains function and creates space - genius! The large foyer closet has a perfect built-in system, allowing for both outerwear and appliance storage without feeling overloaded. Building amenities include front-desk concierge, roof deck with panoramic views of the city, a large fitness center (under construction now), dedicated on-site management, cleaning crew, and building engineers. NOTE: this unit has no underlying mortgage. Adjacent to Adams Morgan and Rock Creek Park, Lanier Heights is a prominent residential neighborhood in DC. The building is surrounded by plenty of parks: Walter Pierce, Kalorama, Meridian Hill…and might make some new animal friends at the National Zoo! Here you will also enjoy the conveniences of Adams Morgan’s Safeway, CVS, ACE Hardware and more only .2 miles away on Columbia Road.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
