Penthouse of a Bloomingdale Victorian Conversion

The address is half a block from the epicenter of Bloomingdale’s ever-growing retail scene.

• Price: $599,999

Classic Kalorama Co-op in a Former Restaurant

In the early 1900s, The Altomont was a luxury apartment building that housed 12-room units with servants quarters, and a restaurant on the top floor. Since then, the massive apartments have been chopped up into smaller co-ops, and the restaurant was turned into five separate units. This listing is one of the latter units, and the unusual layout betrays its former life. Angled ceilings, a skinny hallway leading to the kitchen, and a completely mirrored bathroom make this stand out from a typical home. UrbanTurf particularly liked the huge skylight over the living room.

• Full listing: 1901 Wyoming Ave NW #74 (map)
• Price: $515,000
• Bedrooms: One
• Bathrooms: One
• Year Built: 1917
• HOA Fees: $513/month (includes property taxes)
• Listing Agent: Catherine Czuba, McEnearney Associates
