About This Home

Once serving as an embassy residence, this distinguished four level Beaux Arts home is positioned among Washington s notable diplomatic addresses just blocks from Dupont Circle. Rich in architectural character and thoughtfully updated for modern living, the residence offers a rare combination of scale, flexibility, and immediate access to the best of city life. Inside, the home unfolds with a layout designed to support both entertaining and everyday living. A welcoming foyer opens into the main living room where tall ceilings, oversized windows, and a gas fireplace create an inviting sense of scale and warmth. The space flows naturally into the kitchen and continues into an additional living area positioned at the rear of the home, creating flexibility for lounging, media, reading, or gathering with guests. From here, access extends directly to the private rear deck framed by a custom green wall, creating an effortless extension of the living space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Adjacent to the kitchen, a built in banquette offers an inviting setting for morning coffee, weeknight dinners, or working from home. The second level is dedicated entirely to the primary suite experience and lives more like a private retreat than a traditional bedroom level. The suite includes a custom oversized closet, dedicated office, laundry room, sitting area, and gas fireplace. The spa inspired bath features a freestanding soaking tub, oversized shower with dual shower heads and bench seating, dual vanities, and a separate water closet. The upper level offers three additional bedrooms and a full bathroom, creating flexibility for guests, work from home needs, or additional space to spread out. One bedroom opens to a private balcony overlooking the surrounding streetscape. The lower level, complete with front and rear access, provides another layer of versatility with recreation space, an additional bedroom, and full bathroom ideal for guests, fitness, media, or everyday living. Thoughtful upgrades throughout include customized Tailored Living closets, Lutron lighting and shades, built in speakers serving the main living and primary suite levels, and efficient three zone HVAC. Outside your front door, enjoy immediate access to Dupont Circle, the Red Line Metro, Embassy Row, and downtown Washington. Positioned for convenience to the World Bank, IMF, and major employment centers throughout the city, the location also offers seamless connectivity into Arlington and beyond. Neighborhood favorites become part of daily life, including Annabelle located just around the corner, while nearby cafes, parks, and cultural destinations make daily routines feel distinctly Washington. A residence that balances architectural presence, flexible living spaces, and location in one of Washington s most established and connected neighborhoods.
