Parquet flooring dates back to the 1600s with small wooden rectangles arranged in decorative patterns, most frequently in alternating squares or a herringbone pattern. Quite often when floors are described as hardwood it refers to long wooden planks, but parquet is a unique, acquired taste, and a homage to the turn of the century when the Connecticut Ave Corridor of Washington, D.C. was booming and delivering a diversity of multi-family housing that the city had never seen before. 2801 Cortland Place NW is quintessential Cleveland park- the charm and character of the early 1900s. 2 real bedrooms, 3 exposures, granite counters, stainless appliances, ample storage space and closets, natural light, and flow are just a few of the features that make this unit special. A rarely available price point for an established, amenity-rich Rock Creek Park proximal home that is also close to public transportation and the National Zoo! There are limited options in the city to be neighbors with giant pandas AND have a real second bedroom for this price. Welcome home!
