1601 18th St NW

A mid-century, full-service condominium tower built in 1962, the ten-story Imperial House sits in Dupont Circle and contains primarily studio and one-bedroom units. The architecture reflects restrained 1960s proportions with large picture windows and parquet or hardwood floors common in individual residences. Interiors range from renovated loft-style studios to traditionally planned one-bedrooms; many units feature open living/dining plans, eat-in or galley kitchens, built-in storage, walk-in closets, and original- or upgraded-bath finishes. Shared spaces emphasize urban convenience and social life: a staffed 24-hour front desk, elevators, common laundry and bike storage, a fitness/yoga room, and a prominent rooftop deck with panoramic city views. Exterior amenities include street-level sidewalks and lighting; limited vehicle parking is offered separately. The building is pet-friendly and supplies essential utilities through the condominium fee in many units. Located steps from Dupont Circle, the property provides immediate access to transit (Red Line), retail, grocery options, cafes and parks, supporting a highly walkable, amenity-rich urban lifestyle for tenants and owners seeking compact city living with concierge-style services.
