If you’ve been waiting for a downtown home that pairs a gracious interior with true, resort-caliber amenities, Residence 902 at Clara Barton/Lafayette delivers in a way few Penn Quarter condominiums can. Perched on the ninth floor, this rarely... available layout greets you with warm hardwood flooring, an open granite and electric kitchen for effortless entertaining, and not one but two private balconies, one off the living room and another balcony off the oversized bedroom, which is finished with a proper walk-in closet. In-unit laundry, generous storage, and courtyard views complete the private spaces; the rest of the story belongs to the building itself. Resort-style amenities & resident services Residents here enjoy the kind of full-service lifestyle more commonly found in luxury hotels: a 24-hour concierge that handles packages and dry-cleaning, two newly outfitted fitness centers plus a yoga studio, a staffed business center with high-speed Wi-Fi, printer, scanner and conference room, a tranquil library, a billiards lounge with catering kitchen, a 20-seat screening room, and a beautifully landscaped interior courtyard when you need a quiet moment outdoors. Rise to the roof and discover a heated swimming pool, gas grills, and generous dining terraces that have views of the Washington Monument, an unrivaled perch for evening dinners or Fourth of July fireworks. Direct-access garage parking is available for about $275 per month, bulk 200 Mbps fiber internet is just $50–$55, and move-in is simple with predictable fees. Neighborhood Snapshot – Eat, Experience, and Get Anywhere Fast Step outside Clara Barton/Lafayette and the city’s most exciting dining corridor unfolds at your feet: José Andrés favorites (Jaleo, Oyamel, Zaytinya), Michelin-starred Fiola and Bresca, the lively Farmers & Distillers, craft-coffee bars, speakeasy lounges, and a weekly farmers’ market—all within a five-minute stroll. Two blocks west, the National Portrait Gallery and Smithsonian American Art Museum anchor a cultural lineup that includes the National Gallery, Hirshhorn, and Museum of the Bible down on the Mall, plus live performances at Sidney Harman Hall, the Shakespeare and Warner Theatres, and Capital One Arena. Getting around is effortless: Gallery Place-Chinatown Metro (Red/Green/Yellow) is three minutes on foot, Archives-Navy Memorial (Green/Yellow) four minutes, and Judiciary Square (Red) about seven. Metrobus and DC Circulator routes ring the block, Capital Bikeshare docks sit on the corners, and a two-minute hop onto I-695 links directly to I-395 for Virginia and DC-295 for Maryland. From pre-theater cocktails to weekend museum hopping—or a car-free commute anywhere in the region—everything revolves around your new front door. Read More
