About 2550 17th St Nw #417
Welcome to Ontario 17, a boutique building sitting right at the edge of Kalorama & Adams Morgan, 2 of Washington DC's most storied & sought-after neighborhoods. Built in 2015 and impeccably maintained by its original owner, this 1 bedroom/1 bath condo offers a thoughtfully designed space with 9' ceilings, abundant natural light, and a layout that actually works.
Unit 417 sits on the 4th floor. The views from this height are exactly what Adams Morgan looks like when you step back and take it in: rooftops, treetops, and the kind of classic DC architecture that reminds you why people choose to plant roots in this city. The unit faces a quiet street, and despite being steps from one of DC's most energetic corridors, the building and this unit are genuinely peaceful. Ontario 17 is the rare find that puts you in the middle of everything without making you feel like it.
The kitchen is at the heart of the unit. Timeless, extra tall white cabinetry, a moveable island adds seating and prep space, and a separate tall pantry keeps everything organized. Stainless steel appliances, white subway tile backsplash, and wood floors throughout complete the look. Clean, bright, and cohesive.
There is added shelving in both the living room & bedroom and a walk-in closet. An in-unit stacked washer and dryer and fresh paint throughout mean this unit is ready the day you close.
Ontario 17 is a secure, professionally managed, and staffed with an onsite concierge and dedicated package room.The rooftop deck on the 6th floor earns its reputation. Washington Monument views. Room to exhale. The kind of space that makes city living feel worth it.
The assigned parking space is the first space in the garage, easy to pull in and out, and sized to fit an SUV. In Adams Morgan, that is not a small thing.
The building has history behind it, it sits on the site of the Ontario Theatre, a neighborhood landmark that opened in 1951 in the Streamline Moderne style. When the theater was transformed into this mixed-use development, the original marquee awning at the corner of Columbia Road and 17th Street was preserved. The result is a 2015 building with genuine character, a beautifully appointed lobby with a seating area, and condos that feel nothing like a generic new construction.
Adams Morgan is one of DC's most culturally rich and genuinely fun places to live. The main draw is 18th Street itself: independent restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and locally owned shops lining a strip that rewards walking. Kalorama adds a quieter, more residential counterbalance; tree-lined and unhurried. Dupont Circle & U Street are both minutes away, which means the options for dining, nightlife, shopping, galleries, & live music extend well beyond what is already at the front door.
A 97 walk score & 97 bike score mean a car is a luxury, not a necessity. The bus stops directly in front of the building. Woodley Park Metro is 0.8 miles away and Columbia Heights Metro is 0.5 miles away, putting 3 metro lines within easy reach.
The neighborhood has a full calendar of its own. Adams Morgan Day, DC's longest-running neighborhood festival, Movie Nights at Marie Reed Recreation Center, PorchFest brings live music to the blocks themselves. Kalorama Park is steps away. Rock Creek Park is minutes from the front door, with trails for hiking, running, and biking that feel nothing like the city you just left.
Various financing options may be available, including VA, DC first-time homebuyer programs, & other homebuyer assistance programs. Buyers are encouraged to confirm current eligibility with their lender.
This is not a unit you settle for. It is one you feel lucky to have found. 9' ceilings, a rooftop with Monument views, and a neighborhood that will never bore you.
