About This Property
Open 4/13/22, 2-3:00 PM. Tenth floor 2 bedroom condo in the Cairo Condominium, a landmark in the Dupont Circle neighborhood, and is the District of Columbia’s tallest residential building. Completed in 1894 as the city’s first skyscraper. The 164ft tall brick building prompted local legislation to limit the height of subsequent buildings that continues to shape the District’s skyline. Please call to take a look. Quick leaseUp. Online application ($30) at TheCairoCondo.com This historic Cairo Condominium has an exotic Egyptian theme with gargoyles perch high above the front entrance. Winged griffins stare down from cornices, along with elephants supporting the front windows and fourth floor dragon and dwarf crosses. The stone front steps lead up through the lobby and lounge with Egyptian columns and a marble floor. A large mirror pictures adorn the lobby’s walls with two square columns of red-orange marble anchoring the space in front of two elevators. Between the elevators is a stairway that leads down through double glass doors into the stone garden central courtyard. The building’s rooftop deck provides one of the most complete views of Northwest DC’s skyline, including Catholic University, the National Cathedral, Georgetown, the Washington Monument, and the Capitol. The AIA Guide to the Architecture of Washington, D.C. says: “For all its quirks, the awkward tower reigns as one of Washington’s guilty architectural pleasures.”

Legendary Americans from Frederick Douglass to Woodrow Wilson have called Dupont Circle home at various points over the past two centuries, and it continues to be a highly desirable place to live. The historic architecture of the neighborhood (particularly in the Victorian-era rowhouses) contributes to a distinctly European flair in much of Dupont Circle. This, combined with the presence of numerous foreign embassies and countless international restaurants, creates an unparalleled cosmopolitan atmosphere.
The dining scene also includes a vast selection of more traditional eateries, low-key coffee shops, and convenient grocery stores, giving most folks the option to pick up a quick bite to eat or a week’s worth of necessities with ease. For off hours, museums and galleries are close at hand, and the eclectic nightlife offerings span from alternative rock venues to glitzy clubs to high-end cocktail bars.
