About this House

Tucked away on a quiet one-way street just two and a half blocks from Dupont Circle, this residence is a remarkable fusion of Washingtonian and American history. Originally commissioned by Colonel Hillyer for his daughter and once home to John Steinbeck, this classic townhome has been thoroughly reimagined for modern living, with interiors by May Gardner Wilson of Edith Gregson Interiors, while honoring its historic character. An elegant light brick façade, capped by a striking red clay roof with Dutch gables, makes a commanding first impression. Above the double-door entry, a semicircular glass tile skylight and intricate carved stonework set the tone for the architectural detail within. A private enclosed vestibule offers a dignified transition to nearly 4,000 square feet of refined interior space, blending timeless elegance with contemporary luxury. Off the foyer, the formal living room features a marble-surround fireplace and a bay window crowned with a skylight. Soaring ceilings, recessed lighting, and integrated surround sound provide a modern contrast to the home's historic bones. The adjoining formal dining room offers its own fireplace, leading to the show-stopping chef’s kitchen at the rear. Bathed in natural light from a full wall of glass, this space boasts thick-edge Polarstone countertops, sleek European cabinetry, open shelving, and top-tier appliances from Wolf, Sub-Zero, and Miele. Recent enhancements include updated kitchen flooring, new cabinetry, and refined hardware selections, further elevating both the functionality and aesthetic of this exceptional space. French doors open to a series of beautifully tiered terraces that lead to a private walled courtyard, creating a seamless extension of the living spaces and an exceptional setting for entertaining. Custom-integrated exterior storage has been thoughtfully incorporated throughout, preserving the clean architectural lines while offering rare practicality for urban living. Beyond lies a coveted two-car parking pad, an increasingly rare luxury in the heart of Dupont Circle. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a tranquil retreat, complete with a fireplace, private balcony, and sunlit dressing gallery positioned between dual walk-in closets. Bespoke millwork and tailored built-ins enhance both form and function, providing elegant organization while complementing the residence's historic character. The spa-inspired bath pairs marble-clad walls with wood-look tile in a calming composition, complete with a freestanding soaking tub, double vanity, glass-enclosed shower, and separate water closet. A generously proportioned second bedroom, a dedicated hall bath, and a laundry closet complete this level. The top floor hosts two additional spacious bedrooms, each with a fireplace, and a full bath. The fully self-sufficient lower level includes a second kitchen, two living areas, a full bath, laundry, and a mudroom. With private entrances at both the front and rear leading to a covered patio and substantial integrated storage, this level offers exceptional flexibility for guests, extended stays, or independent living arrangements. Unmatched in location, the home is moments from the acclaimed restaurants, vibrant nightlife, weekly farmers markets, and cultural institutions that define Dupont Circle, including The Phillips Collection and convenient Metro access. Rich in provenance yet thoughtfully tailored for modern life, this exceptional residence presents a rare opportunity to own a distinguished piece of Washington history in one of the city's most coveted neighborhoods.
