2001 12TH STREET, Washington, DC 20009

Let’s get this out of the way early: this one checks a lot of boxes—and a few you didn’t even know you were looking for. Located in the heart of the U Street Corridor, just one block to the Metro, residence #213 at The Lincoln Condominium is the kind of home that quietly flexes. Really renovated, smartly laid out, filled with light and actually functional (a rare combo). Inside, roughly 920 square feet unfolds in all the right ways. The living room is anchored by a gas fireplace wrapped in custom millwork—cozy without trying too hard—and flanked by built-ins that say yes, books live here. Cellular shades, gleaming wood floors and newer windows (2015) keep things polished and bright, while a dedicated dining area proves that not every meal has to happen at a kitchen counter. Now let’s talk about the den—because this is where the plot thickens. Behind double doors, you’ll find a fully enclosed flex space with its own full bath. Guest room? Home office? Peloton-adjacent life command center? All valid. This layout punches well above its square footage. The primary bedroom is refreshingly drama-free. Quiet, spacious, and genuinely functional, it fits a king bed and real furniture without negotiating. Two large closets handle your wardrobe without judgment, blackout cellular shades take sleep very seriously, and the en-suite bath brings an oversized vanity and a frameless glass shower that quietly says, yes, this was a good decision.
Let’s run the wish list. In-unit washer and dryer—yes. Assigned garage parking—of course. Concierge, gym, rooftop deck, party room, extra storage and a pet park in a professionally managed, pet-friendly building—because why compromise? These are the amenities that actually earn their keep. Bottom line? This is a turnkey, flexible, well-designed home in one of DC’s most vibrant neighborhoods—close to everything, yet calm when you need it to be. No theatrics. No compromises. Just a really solid place to land.
