Property Description
Welcome to the Dupont Circle neighborhood, rich in history and culture. This address, on one of the most coveted blocks in the city, is steps to the Red Line Metro, bus lines, 2 dog parks and quality shopping. Whole Foods, Safeway, restaurants, clothing shops and services make this an urbanite's dream. It boasts 23 large windows, high ceilings, trim moldings, wood flooring, recessed lighting and six fireplaces with original ceramic tiles and mantles -characteristic of Washington's charming Victorian houses. A key attribute to the house is the separate, fully-equipped English Basement apartment- an income producing bonus. It is a separately metered, 1-bath, 1- bedroom, living room/dining area plan- with full-sized, above ground windows in each room. Additionally, an outside private patio features plantings, table and chairs for relaxing, inviting friends, grilling/eating. The first floor's open concept boasts an architect's sculptural custom kitchen design. Located between the living room and dining area, it was featured in the Washington Post and The Washington Times magazines. The powder room is steps to the landing. The second floor has generously sized rooms, one with 5 windows and an arched opening. The second bedroom has a walk-in closet. The bathroom was renovated with double sinks, abundant storage, artful tiling and marble floors. The third floor has 3 rooms: a large bedroom with balcony, another large skylit bedroom and a smaller room-possibly for a home office or nursery. An updated full bath is down the hall. The interior lower level houses laundry, storage and utilities. Recently installed roof solar panels -- which are owned and do convey-- reduced the Pepco bill to $16/month in 2025's hot summer. Other outstanding features: copper plumbing, main lead line replaced, replaced windows, a central vacuum and industrial rubber roof.
