2131 BANCROFT PLACE NW

WASHINGTON, DC 20008

Nestled on one of Kalorama’s most distinguished blocks, this stately 1908 Beaux-Arts townhome was designed by noted architect Frederick B. Pyle for department store magnate Samuel Woodward. Blending timeless elegance with thoughtful modern updates spanning four expansive levels, the residence offers four bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths across a floor plan designed for both grand entertaining and comfortable daily living. The entry level opens with a light-filled sitting room that flows into a gourmet kitchen, outfitted with striking marble counters, custom cabinetry, and space for casual, fireside dining. Above, the Piano Nobile level - with soaring ceilings, two fireplaces, and magnificent French windows - provides a luminous backdrop for large-scale gatherings. Elegant entertaining rooms unfold in sequence, enriched by original moldings, trim, and south-facing exposures. A butler’s pantry with rear access to the kitchen completes this level. The third floor hosts the spacious primary suite, bathed in natural light and featuring a marble bath with dual showers, a custom dressing room, an adjoining office or sitting room and two more fireplaces. The top floor offers three additional bedrooms and two full baths, including one ensuite. A newly redesigned roof deck (2021) crowns the home with sweeping city views, perfect for al fresco entertaining. Recent updates include a new roof (2020), water heater (2024), and upper-zone AC (2020), along with a comprehensive security system. Seven fireplaces - five with gas inserts - add warmth and character throughout. Private rear parking (with EV charger) further enhances convenience, while the location places you within walking distance of Dupont Circle, Embassy Row, and Kalorama’s cafés and parks. 2131 Bancroft Place NW embodies the best of Kalorama - historic architecture elevated by refined, contemporary luxury.
