The Carthage

The story of The Carthage, built in 1919, renovated in 1980, and designated a spot on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987, is as intriguing as the eight-story building itself. And inside the Beaux Arts residence you’ll find 26 expansive two-bedroom homes – made even homier with their own dining rooms, outdoor terraces, space for eat-in kitchens, and wood-burning fireplaces. Homes in The Carthage range from 1,400 to 2,000 square feet – plenty of space to enjoy the period details that add rich layers of history to your everyday life. Making your home in D.C.’s prestigious Kalorama neighborhood, you’ll be right up the hill from all the shopping and dining in historic Dupont Circle. And, on nice days when you don’t mind a bit of a walk, you can follow Connecticut Avenue across Rock Creek Park and up to the Smithsonian National Zoological Park. (On a lazy Sunday, stop by for a delicious breakfast at Open City, on the corner of Connecticut Avenue and Calvert Street.)
