1704 19th Nw Street NW Unit #5, Washington, DC 20009

Property Description

Offer accepted - Open House 9/21 cancelled. Rarely does a condominium combine such a prime location, thoughtful layout, elegant finish level, and seamless blend of historic charm with modern updates. Impeccably maintained and extensively renovated, this home features soaring ceiling heights, extensive molding, and a truly special private entrance through the original rowhome’s double front doors. The current owner spared no expense in updating the unit over the past 18 months. New marble floors in the historic vestibule welcome you into the living space, with recently refreshed original hardwood floors, a wood burning fireplace with new marble surround, and extensive custom built-ins and moldings. The dining area sits framed within the east facing bay window and is crowned by a remarkable 1920s French Art Deco chandelier by Degué, a famed workshop helmed by David Guéron during the height of the Art Deco period. Bespoke leaded glass transoms created by an artist in Georgetown were recently added, complementing the show-stopping fixture and adding historically accurate character. Just beyond the living room lies the functional and stylish kitchen, with a new suite of full size Kitchenaid appliances, new counters and floors, refaced soft-close cabinetry, and an expanse of stunning custom leaded glass cabinet doors. The primary bedroom, quietly tucked away at the rear of the unit, is exceedingly spacious, with freshly installed carpeting, custom shades by the Shade Store, Ralph Lauren lighting fixtures, and abundant closet space. Both bathrooms have been fully updated. The primary bath, located beyond the spacious primary closets, is beautifully appointed with new counters, flooring, hardware, and a stunning walk in marble shower. The hall bath centers on a showstopping cast iron clawfoot soaking tub, new period-appropriate chrome and enamel hardware, and beautiful marble tile throughout. The second bedroom, conveniently off the main hall, functions as both a spacious home office and a comfortable guest bedroom, with a custom built-in Murphy bed for flexibility. The updates are seemingly endless, with the addition of new door hardware throughout, new recessed lighting, new full size Bosch stackable washer and dryer, new hot water heater (2025), a new exterior gas lantern (a nearly $9,000 addition alone), a dedicated off-street parking space, new (in 2020) Pella 250 windows throughout, completely rebuilt front stairs, and a recently repainted exterior façade. Together, these details blend to create a home that is as beautiful as it is one of a kind, offering a rare opportunity to enjoy Dupont Circle living at its most refined. For those interested in touring, please note that the front doors to the unit are located at 1706 19th Street NW.
