About This Home

**1717 P Street NW, Unit A | Dupont Circle** Some homes don’t just have character — they announce it the moment you step inside. Built in the late 19th century and later incorporated into a condo, this residence carries the signatures of old Washington: richly colored trim at the entry, a central foyer with presence, and a sweeping staircase that feels designed for arrivals, not rush-hours. The main level is made for real living and easy entertaining. Two parlors give you flexibility—conversation on one side, quiet on the other—while a proper dining room anchors the home in the way classic DC houses do. The kitchen sits at the heart of it, ready for gatherings that start as “just a couple friends” and end around a full table. Out back, a deck extends the living space and leads to the parking area. The lower level adds a rare bonus: a guest, nanny, or in-law suite with its own kitchen and full bathroom—ideal for extended stays, live-in support, or a private retreat set apart from the main house. Upstairs, the primary suite is bright and calm, with an en suite bath and generous closet space. Two additional bedrooms and another full bathroom complete the level—classic, livable, and increasingly hard to find this close to Dupont. **Home highlights** * Late-19th-century architecture with historic interior detailing * Central foyer with a grand staircase * Two parlors plus a dedicated dining room * Rear deck with access to parking area * Lower-level suite with its own kitchen and full bathroom * Light-filled primary suite plus two additional bedrooms and another full bath **Neighborhood favorites and nearby attractions:** * Dupont Circle Park, with its iconic fountain and shaded benches * Summer outdoor movie nights in Dupont Circle, a beloved neighborhood tradition * 17th Street’s restaurant row, including Duke’s Grocery, Sushi Taro, and Little Serow * Kramerbooks & Afterwords Café, a neighborhood institution for coffee, books, and late nights * The Phillips Collection, an intimate world-class art museum * Dupont Circle FRESHFARM Market on Sundays * Whole Foods Market along P Street for everyday shopping * Dupont Circle Metro (Red Line) for easy commuting and city access This is Dupont Circle at its most livable—historic, walkable, and quietly vibrant.
