Property Description
The classic stone façade and wide entry steps usher you into a world of architectural refinement. Inside, soaring 11-foot ceilings, original millwork, heart of pine floors, and preserved details like antique doorknobs and radiator grates reflect the home's rich history. A gracious formal entry gives way to expansive entertaining spaces both on the main and upper levels, including a large first-floor reception room/office with handsome fireplace, mirrors and even larger second-floor living room with handsome built-ins, its own fireplace, recessed lighting, and wonderful flow to the kitchen, dining room, and private deck beyond. A first-floor bedroom suite enjoys elevator access and its own private covered deck.
The kitchen, warm and functional with south facing windows, offers ample storage, a sunny breakfast room, LG appliances, those same character-rich pine floors underfoot, and a convenient powder room. Upstairs, the owner's suite is a retreat of modern indulgence: a fully renovated marble wet room with dual rain showers and a double vanity adds a spa-like sensibility. Additional bathrooms have also been updated, while the lower level features a fully renovated and separately metered one-bedroom unit with a Certificate of Occupancy, perfect for rental income or extended-stay guests.
The top floor offers bonus studio or bedroom space with excellent light and elevated views—ideal for creative pursuits or a hidden home office. Thoughtfully updated for modern living, the home features a rare private elevator with stops on each of the 3 main living levels, newly serviced HVAC and fastidious maintenance performed on all systems, plus a new hot water heater. Two-car parking and generous walk-in attic storage add function and daily convenience.
Set just off Connecticut Avenue and moments from the metro, Dupont Circle, Mitchell Park, Rock Creek trails, P Street Beach, and a vibrant mix of restaurants, cafes, and shops, this location offers quintessential DC walkability and charm. Nestled among tree-lined streets and embassies, the home provides an ideal urban sanctuary.
Steeped in history yet wholly livable for today, 2008 R Street NW is a unique offering in a neighborhood that epitomizes the very best of Washington, DC. For those seeking storied architecture, thoughtful upgrades, and an unbeatable location, this is the one.
