1333 21ST STREET NW
Washington, DC 20036

Welcome to 1333 21st Street NW, a distinctive two-unit property zoned RA-2/DC and ideally located on one of Dupont Circle’s most picturesque blocks. Currently used by the owner as a single-family residence, the property is configured as two distinct living spaces. Re-establishing the physical separation between the units requires only the addition of a door. Each unit has its own kitchen, washer and dryer, and separate gas and electric meters. The property also offers multiple outdoor spaces and coveted secured off-street parking for two cars.
Unit #1 encompasses the main and lower levels and offers two bedrooms and two full baths. A gracious foyer leads to a welcoming family room with a wood-burning fireplace and custom built-ins, including a bar with refrigerator, sink, and glass shelving. A bedroom and full bath on this level offer flexibility for guests, a home office, or additional living space.
The light-filled, walkout lower level, currently used as an artist’s studio, offers a kitchen, bedroom, full bath, full-size washer and dryer, and a second wood-burning fireplace. A built-in workstation, wall of mirrors, generous built-in closet, and custom shelving provide additional functionality. Separate front and rear entrances include direct access to the rear parking area.
Unit #2 occupies the second and third floors and offers two bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths. The spacious, light-filled living and entertaining level features a newly installed gas fireplace with a custom-built French plaster surround and ornate detailing, creating a striking focal point. The adjoining dining area flows into a sun-filled breakfast area framed by arched windows. Two doors flanking the fireplace open to a private deck and rear parking area. A kitchen and powder room complete this level.
The top floor features a spacious primary bedroom with en-suite bath and direct access to a private balcony with lovely views and dimmable lighting. A full-size washer and dryer in the primary bedroom adds convenience. An additional bedroom and hall bath complete this level. A discreet ladder in the second bedroom closet provides roof access to the property’s second heating and air-conditioning unit.
Built in 1892, 1333 21st Street is anything but cookie-cutter. The longtime owner’s love of color and art gives each room personality, while original architectural charm blends with thoughtful updates and meticulous care.
Two-car secured and gated off-street parking at the rear is a rare convenience in this location. Less than two blocks from Dupont Circle and minutes from the West End and Georgetown, the property is close to Rock Creek Park, Dupont Circle Metro, and the shops, restaurants, and cafés along P Street. The Dupont Circle Farmers Market and nearby Dupont Little Flea Market add to the neighborhood’s vibrant Sunday tradition.
Two distinct living spaces, separate utilities, kitchens and laundry, multiple outdoor areas, two-car parking, and an extraordinary Dupont Circle location come together in a truly unique property.
