Description

A commanding presence on one of the most sought-after streets in Logan Circle, this grand 1880s residence is a masterful blend of historic beauty and modern refinement. Rich in architectural detail and warm in spirit, the home stands as a testament to craftsmanship rarely replicated today.
Upon entry, a sweeping historic staircase—complete with cleverly concealed storage—sets the tone. Soaring ceilings, intricate crown moldings, timeless fixtures, and luminous bay windows transport you to a decadent era of elegance and design. The gracious living and dining rooms unfold beautifully from the foyer, separated by functioning pocket doors that allow for both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining. Each room is anchored by its own gas fireplace, while the living room’s dramatic bay window bathes the space in natural light.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen offers a seamless marriage of comfort and performance. Anchored by a generous center island, the space is appointed with premium appliances including Monogram and Sub-Zero, blending elevated design with everyday functionality. A remote-operated gas fireplace adds unexpected warmth and ambiance, creating an inviting atmosphere for gathering. Just off the kitchen, a convenient full bath enhances practicality, while a full-size side-by-side washer and dryer provide effortless daily convenience.
Upstairs, three bedrooms plus den are thoughtfully arranged across a split staircase that enhances both privacy and architectural interest. The primary suite occupies its own side of the staircase, creating a secluded retreat. Here, a woodburning fireplace, expansive bay window, generous custom closet system, and a spacious bath with dual vanities combine to deliver comfort layered with character.
On the opposite side of the level, two additional bedrooms are perfectly sited with a dedicated den positioned between them and a beautifully appointed full bath. One of the bedrooms opens to a charming Juliet balcony overlooking the rear patio. The hall bath is elevated with heated floors and a heated towel rack, blending everyday luxury with thoughtful design.
The lower level offers remarkable flexibility. A chic, brick-accented studio residence—complete with its own kitchen and full bath—enjoys a private entrance and a lock-off door connecting to the main home, making it ideal as an income-producing rental, a guest or in-law suite. On the opposite side of the lock-off door, an additional bedroom integrates seamlessly with the main residence, providing even greater versatility for guests, extended stays, or private workspace.
Spanning three full levels, the home also features a spacious rear patio designed for effortless entertaining and the rare luxury of two parking spaces. Just steps from neighborhood favorites such as Le Diplomate and moments from the vibrant energy that defines Logan Circle, this extraordinary residence offers historic grandeur seamlessly interwoven with modern living—wrapped in the very heart of the city.
