3401 38TH STREET, Washington, DC 20016

An open kitchen flows into a living room framed by generous windows, and standing there for the first time, you understand immediately why this two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence at Vaughan Place feels larger than its 912 square feet suggest. The layout breathes. The proportions are deliberate. And the kitchen — upgraded countertops catching the light, stainless steel appliances lined up with quiet confidence — is the kind of space that turns a Tuesday morning into something worth slowing down for. The refrigerator hums softly, the range hood waits above the stove, and the dishwasher and disposal sit ready to handle whatever ambitious dinner you talked yourself into the night before. An ice maker and microwave round out a kitchen that has clearly been thought through, not just furnished. You can picture yourself here: coffee brewing, the rhythm of a morning already finding its shape. The open floor plan means the living space doesn’t disappear the moment you step out of the kitchen — it extends, connects, and invites. Both bedrooms are comfortably sized, each served by its own full bathroom, which means no negotiations over the mirror and no waiting for the shower. Walk-in closets in the unit offer the kind of storage that actually changes how you live, and window treatments throughout give you control over light and privacy without the weekend errand of sourcing your own. The washer and dryer are in-unit, which, once you’ve had them, becomes the single feature you’ll refuse to live without. Vaughan Place carries the character of a community that was designed to function as one. The building is gated, with elevator access and a staffed security presence that makes coming home at any hour feel easy. The fitness center is the kind you actually use, convenient enough that there’s no commute required between your workout and your morning routine. A clubhouse, game room, and meeting room offer flexible spaces depending on whether the evening calls for something social or something productive. Outside, a pool and picnic area give summer a proper backdrop, and the dog park means your four-legged resident — cats and dogs are welcome here, subject to number limits, breed restrictions, and a required deposit — has their own reason to look forward to mornings. Parking is available via both an attached garage and a surface lot, a rare and practical combination in this part of Washington. Washington, DC moves at a pace that rewards people who are planted somewhere real. This is a neighborhood where buildings have histories and residents have routines, where the coffee shop around the corner has been there long enough to know what you order and where the sense that you belong somewhere isn’t accidental — it’s built into the fabric of how the block operates. Living at Vaughan Place means you’re not just renting space in a city; you’re settling into a community that has its own particular rhythm, one that tends to match the way you already want to live. Pricing and availability subject to change on a daily basis. Photos are of model units. Parking may be available subject to availability and may be an additional fee.
