Affordable Homeownership Now - No Lottery Required Welcome to 1225 Fairmont St NW #301, a top-floor, one-bedroom condo that blends style, location, and affordability in one of DC's most vibrant neighborhoods.

Best of all, this opportunity is available right now to any qualified buyer-no lottery, no waitlist, no uncertainty. Inside, this sun-filled home feels bright and open. Oversized windows and a sliding glass door flood the living area with natural light and lead to your own private balcony, an ideal retreat for morning coffee, afternoon breaks, or watching sunsets over the city. The open-concept layout is designed for both easy living and entertaining, connecting a modern kitchen-with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and generous cabinet storage-to the spacious dining and living areas. The bedroom offers a sense of calm, with plenty of space for a queen bed and a well-sized closet for organization. The sleek, updated bathroom features modern finishes, while an in-unit washer and dryer adds convenience. With hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and central A/C, this home is completely move-in ready. Outside your door, Columbia Heights offers everything from Meridian Hill Park-perfect for picnics and weekend relaxation-to countless restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, and local markets. The Columbia Heights Metro puts the entire city within reach, and the U Street and 14th Street corridors are just blocks away, bringing vibrant nightlife and culture close to home. Fairmont Street itself offers a quiet, tree-lined escape, giving you the best of both worlds: neighborhood charm and city convenience.
