Dupont Circle
The Portsmouth Condominium, a turn-of-the-century Beaux-Arts building, is prominently featured in the ultimate guide to Washington architecture: James Goode's: "Best Addresses: A Century of of Washington's Distinguished Apartment Houses". Period architecture, modern amenities and a coveted Dupont Circle location (Walk Score is 100%) all combine to make this a highly desirable building with very little turnover.
The building features a grand marble foyer, original terrazzo tile and period light fixtures. The stairwell is a work of art with wrought iron railings, marble stairs and a striking light fixture. The foyer walls are graced with oversized black and white photos of historic Dupont Circle. The recently replaced elevator was installed to preserve the integrity of the building while providing an up-to-code lift.
Unit #104, located on the quiet rear side of the building, is elegance refined. The gracious foyer greets you with 9'6" ceilings, custom paint colors, a coat closet and stunning red pine floors. The foyer flows seamlessly into the oversized dinning and living room area.
This condo boasts 8 large, deep windows with views of the building's private patio from the living room and master bedroom. The wood burning fireplace has a slate hearth and surround which is perfect for cozying up on a cold winter's night or for displaying candles during the summer.
The kitchen, complete with granite counters and glass cabinets, has all the modern amenities you would expect including plenty of storage, under cabinet lights, a garbage disposal, dishwasher, range, microwave, refrigerator, oversized drop-in sink and handheld faucet.
The washer and Bosch vent-free dryer are located in a separate closet next to the kitchen.
The master bedroom has a partial bay window, a huge walk-in closet and an en-suite bath. The windowed bathroom has been updated with a custom wood vanity and Corian counter tops. A modern new light fixture floods the bathroom in light.
The second bedroom includes an additional storage closet, an oversized window and parquet floors. This room is a wonderful second bedroom, guest bedroom or study. In the hallway leading to this bedroom there are 2 storage closets which brings the total closet count to 5.
The second bath is located just off the foyer, and has been completely renovated.
The central heat and A/C system is brand new.
A separate storage unit conveys with each unit, and all owners have access to a common bike room.
The back patio is for the use and enjoyment of all residents and will burst at the seams with spring flowers and shrubs. The patio also has a gas grill and lounge furniture.
Rental parking is available 1 block away for $250/month; speak with Anslie for more details.
