2026 15TH STREET NW

WASHINGTON, DC 20009

An impressive study in brick and brownstone, 2026 Fifteenth presents a façade of unusual architectural distinction. Detailed masonry, a substantial brownstone entry surround and stoop, and gracefully projecting bays across the main and upper levels establish a commanding presence on 15th Street. Erected in the late nineteenth century, the four level residence possesses the scale, proportion, and period detail that distinguish Washington’s finest historic homes. Impressive windows, substantial solid wood doors, preserved millwork and moldings, and warm pine floors give the interiors texture, depth, and a collected character layered over time. Beyond the vestibule, a gracious foyer introduces the main level. At front, a beautifully proportioned living room is framed by a broad bay of windows, with abundant natural light and a gas fireplace with handsome pine mantel. The staircase rises at the center of the home, while beyond, the interiors become increasingly relaxed and contemporary as they transition to the open kitchen and dining spaces. The kitchen pairs stone surfaces and unlacquered brass hardware and lighting with generous workspace and a substantial island with gas cooktop. The adjoining dining area opens directly outdoors to an intimate deck centered around an impressive Japanese maple and a Lynx grill connected to a plumbed gas line. Steps lead to a larger entertaining terrace with ample room for al fresco dining and lounging among herbs, flowers, and seasonal plantings. Two covered parking spaces are discreetly incorporated below. The second floor offers two generous bedrooms, a true laundry room, and an exceptional marble clad bath with bespoke walnut cabinetry, unlacquered brass, a soaking tub, separate walk in shower, and private water closet. Above, the remarkably versatile third floor may serve as a private primary suite, with abundant natural light, custom built ins, a generous walk through closet, ensuite bath with expansive steam shower, and private rooftop terrace. The closet readily adapts as a bar, allowing the level to function equally well as a guest suite, family room, or sophisticated penthouse entertaining space. The lower level adds a separate one bedroom apartment, independent of the upper floors and privately accessible from both the front and rear. Equally suited to income generation, guest quarters, or extended household living, it may also be incorporated into the main residence in the future. At the foot of Meridian Hill Park, just beyond its formal gardens and celebrated cascading fountains, and steps from New Hampshire Avenue, the residence occupies a compelling position within Washington’s cosmopolitan residential core. Embassies and diplomatic residences, museums and cultural institutions, independent boutiques, and established restaurants surround the neighborhood, while New Hampshire Avenue traces a direct diagonal to Dupont Circle. Here, the sophistication and energy of central Washington meet the quieter residential character of 15th Street and the extraordinary landscape of Meridian Hill Park just outside the door. Across four finished levels, 2026 Fifteenth encompasses approximately 3,115 square feet with four bedrooms, three and one half baths, multiple outdoor living spaces, a flexible separate apartment, and covered parking for two vehicles. The character and architecture of a classic historic Washington home, paired with the ease, functionality, and comforts of contemporary living. The best of both worlds, without compromise.
