1705 P St NW

A boutique, early-20th-century elevator building in Dupont Circle, this five-story, historic condominium presents classic Beaux-Arts proportions and retained period details. Built circa 1900, the property houses primarily one-bedroom residences that combine tall ceilings, hardwood pine floors, crown moldings, recessed lighting and original sash windows with modern updates. Individual units typically feature open or traditional layouts, built-in storage, walk-in closets, eat-in or galley kitchens with upgraded counters, recessed lighting, and bathrooms with walk-in showers. Many homes open to small private balconies or face a quiet interior courtyard; several units use French doors or flexible living/dining configurations to create extra usable space. Common elements include an elevator, on-site laundry, professional management, and a fire escape; condo fees commonly cover water, heat or hot water, trash and exterior/common-area maintenance. Assigned parking is available in some offerings either included with the unit or nearby for a monthly fee. Pet policies are board-supervised with size limits in some units, and there are generally no stringent rental prohibitions. Located steps from Dupont Circle park and a block or two from the Red Line metro, the building sits amid dense retail, restaurants, Whole Foods and nightlife, offering a highly walkable urban lifestyle with a blend of historic character and practical modern conveniences.
