OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY, OCT 19 2pm-4pm. Discover one of the season’s premier apartment homes found inside the iconic Ontario: a building that sets the DC standard for timeless urban character. Welcome to 2853 Ontario Road NW #316, a two-bed, one-bath home with 1,100+ square feet that pays homage to the landmark property’s history while exemplifying what it means to live in the city today. Past the Ontario’s Beaux-Arts exterior, #316 is a standout home with heart pine floors, central AC, a decorative fireplace, windows on three sides, Jeffersonian pocket windows that open onto an iron balcony, and soaring 10-foot ceilings crowned with moldings that evoke a bygone era. Airy and light-filled, the living and dining rooms flow seamlessly together, creating a connected space that’s as dynamic as it is welcoming. Here, it’s hard not to imagine elevating every moment — whether you’re savoring a peaceful evening or hosting friends. Conveniently framing the dining area, the newly renovated, social kitchen serves up stainless appliances, a marble backsplash, chic cabinetry, a generous island, and a separate sink for stress-free entertaining. Along the back wall of your culinary hub, a sizable pantry keeps storage simple. Throughout the home, sunlight streams in through six-foot, double-paned windows, highlighting the architectural detail inside along with the striking outdoor vistas that invite a closer look. Down the hall, the two bedrooms continue this trend of radiant design, offering charming views of the cityscape and the building's extensive manicured grounds. The superior layout ensures that each is a private oasis. Steps away, the generous bathroom reveals hand-painted tile, a jetted tub and shower, a sleek vanity, and a washer/dryer that’s perfectly tucked away. Complementing everything #316 already has to offer is the Ontario itself, where life unfolds with effortless charm. Here, residents get to unlock a curated suite of amenities — from a seven-day front desk to the panoramic rooftop deck, the summer pavilion, the herb garden, the state-of the-art-fitness center, and shared social room. Additional perks for residents include pet-friendly policies, extra storage, available rental parking, and neighbor-designed community events.
Perched atop three private acres in the heart of Lanier Heights, the Ontario fuses timeless Beaux-Arts elegance with the energy of city living. Ideally located at the crossroads of Mount Pleasant, Adams Morgan, and Woodley Park, residents enjoy immediate access to some of DC’s most cherished destinations. Wander through Rock Creek Park, visit the pandas at the National Zoo, get some fresh air at Walter Pierce Park, or shop for fresh seasonal produce at the weekly farmers' market. When you’re looking to dine out, the neighborhood’s vibrant restaurant scene offers something for every palate, with Reveler’s Hour, Elle, and Lapis standing out as local favorites. And when the rest of the city beckons, the Woodley Park/Adams Morgan and Columbia Heights Metro stations are just a short walk away. A home that doesn’t compromise on location, amenities, or character, 2853 Ontario Road NW #316 is the ultimate place to start your next chapter the way you want to live it.
