About 4000 Wisconsin Ave Nw #4k-485
Tucked into a quiet corner of Cathedral Heights, this one-bedroom residence at Upton Place invites you to slow down and actually settle in. At 701 square feet, the layout gives you room to breathe — a living space that doesn't feel borrowed or squeezed, but genuinely livable from the first afternoon you spend in it.
The kitchen anchors the home with upgraded countertops that make meal prep feel intentional rather than improvised. Your refrigerator is already waiting, and the counters give you enough surface to actually cook — to spread out ingredients on a Sunday morning, to pour a glass of something good while dinner finishes. It's the kind of kitchen that earns a regular routine rather than just tolerating one.
The bedroom holds its own as a true retreat, separated enough from the living area to feel distinct, quiet enough to make early mornings feel like a choice instead of an intrusion. The full bath completes the picture without fuss — clean, functional, yours.
What changes the character of the day, though, is what waits beyond your front door. The roof deck is where Cathedral Heights reveals itself — open sky above one of Washington's most quietly distinguished corridors, the kind of view that makes you linger longer than you planned. Evenings up there have a way of turning into something unexpectedly social or unexpectedly restorative, depending on what you need. The resident lounge offers another option when you want to be out of your apartment without being out in the world — a place to work through the afternoon or decompress after a long commute. Common grounds throughout the property extend that sense of shared, unhurried space.
When the weather turns warm, the swimming pool becomes the center of gravity for the building's social life. Lap swimmers and leisure floaters coexist easily, and there's something about having a pool in the city that still feels like a minor luxury worth appreciating. The bike room means that your ride is secure, accessible, and ready — whether you're commuting or just heading down to the waterfront on a Saturday. Parking is available in the building's garage, so car ownership here doesn't come with the usual urban negotiation of circling blocks or sweating permit zones.
Cathedral Heights itself is a neighborhood that rewards the curious. Wisconsin Avenue pulses with energy at the commercial nodes but softens considerably as you move into the residential stretches — enough foot traffic to feel alive, enough quiet to feel residential. The proximity to the National Cathedral grounds, the independent shops and established restaurants that dot the avenue, and the green space woven throughout the neighborhood give daily life here a texture that newer, denser corridors sometimes lack. This part of DC has always had character. What's changed recently is the energy — new construction bringing fresh amenities, updated retail filling in the gaps, and a palpable sense that the neighborhood is being rediscovered by people who care about where they live.
If you share your home with a cat, they're welcome here without apology. The building accommodates feline companions as a genuine policy, not an afterthought.
Life at Upton Place, in unit 4K-485 specifically, settles into a rhythm that feels earned. Mornings in a kitchen that works, evenings on a roof deck that doesn't disappoint, weekends in a neighborhood that keeps giving you new reasons to explore it. 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.
