About this home
Expect a long love affair with this home.
Perched on the 8th floor of the iconic The Cairo, this bright, character-filled residence pairs historic architecture with elevated city views—and a fresh round of renovations that make it feel even better the moment you walk in.
Being on the 8th floor changes everything. The light is different up here—clearer, more expansive. Three oversized windows frame open sky and classic DC rooftops, giving you a true above-it-all perspective. By day, sunlight pours across the space. By night, the city glows beyond the glass. It’s the kind of vantage point that quietly reminds you why living in Washington feels special.
Inside, exposed brick adds warmth and texture, anchoring the main living space with authentic character. Beneath your feet, brand-new luxury vinyl plank flooring brings a clean, modern edge while offering durability that stands up beautifully to everyday life. The entire unit has been freshly painted in a soft, neutral palette, creating a crisp, airy backdrop that makes the home feel larger and effortlessly move-in ready.
The layout lives smartly within its 373 finished square feet, offering flexibility to create distinct zones for lounging, dining, and working without sacrificing flow. Updated lighting enhances the space after sunset, giving the home a polished, contemporary feel, while a modern ceiling fan keeps comfort simple year-round.
The kitchen is compact and thoughtfully designed with granite countertops, white cabinetry with glass-front uppers, a stainless sink, and full-size appliances including a refrigerator and range. Everything is positioned for efficiency. It’s easy to cook here, easy to maintain, and timeless in style.
Storage is refreshingly generous for a home of this size. Two well-proportioned closets help keep daily life organized and the main living area open and uncluttered.
The full bath has been refreshed with a newly resurfaced tub, giving it a clean, like-new finish that elevates the entire space. Bright, streamlined, and practical, it delivers both comfort and simplicity.
Beyond your front door, The Cairo offers a lifestyle that’s hard to replicate. Known for its ornate façade and commanding presence, it remains one of Washington’s most recognizable addresses. Residents enjoy elevator access, professional management, concierge service, and pet-friendly policies allowing up to two pets.
And then there’s the rooftop—an extension of your 8th-floor perch.
The Cairo’s extraordinary 360-degree rooftop views are widely considered some of the best in the city. From this historic vantage point, monument silhouettes, church spires, and endless skyline stretch in every direction. Morning coffee feels cinematic. Evening gatherings feel electric. It’s not just a view—it’s a front-row seat to Washington’s architectural story.
Location completes the picture. Just three blocks from Dupont Metro, getting around the city is refreshingly simple. Safeway, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and the vibrant 17th Street corridor are moments away, along with an ever-evolving mix of cafés, restaurants, bookstores, boutiques, and neighborhood staples. The energy of Dupont surrounds you, yet your 8th-floor retreat feels calm and elevated above it all.
Fresh renovations (2026)—brand-new LVP flooring, fresh paint throughout, updated lighting, and a resurfaced tub—blend seamlessly with historic charm and panoramic city views. The result is a home that feels intentional, efficient, and undeniably special.
City living doesn’t just happen here. It unfolds—high above the streets, wrapped in light, framed by skyline, and ready for its next chapter.
Opportunities on the 8th floor of The Cairo don’t come along every day.
