More About the Lincoln, Washington, DC
Delivered in 2000, this contemporary building with its red brick, buff limestone, and white wooden balconies got its name due to its proximity to the famed Lincoln Theatre, just around the corner on U Street. Inside, the units enjoy a nice blend of modern and traditional sensibilities, avoiding the industrial chic trappings that have become so common in recent U Street Corridor condo developments, and instead opting for open living and dining areas, semi-open kitchens, and organic layouts that include interior hallways, fun den or office nooks, and lots of closet and storage space. Hardwood floors typically run throughout, with gas fireplaces in most living rooms. The kitchens often have a modified galley concept that is open on either one and a half or two sides. The windows are oversized, and the bathrooms are smartly finished. It is also not uncommon to find condos at the Lincoln that have been remodeled since their original completion.
