Property Description

Nestled along one of Dupont Circle's most charming and peaceful residential blocks, this quintessential historic row house masterfully blends period character with modern comfort. Renovated in 2006 while preserving many of its original architectural details, the home showcases soaring 11-foot ceilings, elegant plaster crown moldings, original hardwood floors, distinctive round-top windows, and beautiful historic millwork throughout. A substantial original front door, decorative wrought-iron detailing, and handsome proportions create a memorable first impression, while oversized windows and a coveted southern exposure flood the interiors with natural light throughout the day.

The gracious main level is equally suited to everyday living and entertaining, offering beautifully scaled rooms, abundant sunlight, and seamless access to an exceptional rear garden. Behind a secure roll-up garage door, the expansive outdoor space provides rare off-street parking for two vehicles while still leaving generous room for outdoor dining, gardening, and relaxation.

Occupying the entire second floor, the primary suite serves as a private retreat unto itself. A restful bedroom is complemented by a large walk-in closet and dressing area, while the renovated marble bath features a double vanity, separate soaking tub and shower, and private water closet. Up one more level, you'll find two bright and generously sized bedrooms served by a renovated hall bath. The front bedroom is enhanced by built-in bookcases and offers exceptional versatility, whether used as a bedroom, cozy family room, or workspace. Large windows bring in abundant natural light throughout the floor. The fully finished lower level offers a flexible one-bedroom, one-bath in-law or guest suite with both front and rear entrances, ideal for visitors, extended stays, or additional living space.

Just moments from the restaurants, cafes, yoga studios, neighborhood markets, and daily conveniences of 17th Street, the home enjoys easy access to Logan Circle, the Dupont Circle Metro, and some of Washington's most beloved neighborhoods. Quiet, elegant, and unmistakably Dupont, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly handsome and authentic city residence.
