1725 17th St NW

Rutland Court is a five-story, 1917 Beaux-Arts cooperative developed by noted Washington builder Harry Wardman. The masonry building displays early 20th-century details — high ceilings, oversized multi-pane windows, and original hardwood floors — preserved through sensitive upgrades. The inventory is dominated by studio and small one-bedroom residences, many reconfigured over time to create expanded suites with formal foyers, generous closets, and built-in millwork. Typical interiors combine period features (crown moldings, leaded-glass transoms, clawfoot tubs) with modern conveniences such as updated kitchens, recessed lighting, and in some units the option for in-unit washer/dryer with board approval. Common spaces emphasize refinement: a staffed front desk/concierge, a refreshed lobby, finished roof deck with panoramic city views, two landscaped courtyards and shared laundry. Practical amenities include bike storage, rentable secure storage rooms, and recently repointed brickwork and refreshed gardens. The pet-friendly co-op covers many utilities within its monthly fee and operates with cooperative governance and occasional storage/parking arrangements handled by the board. Located on 17th Street in Dupont Circle, the building sits within walking distance of Metro stations, grocery, restaurants, parks and cultural venues, delivering a prewar aesthetic coupled with city living conveniences.
