A Historic Address at the Heart of NW Washington

The Scott Circle residence at 1 Scott Cir NW #104 occupies a building constructed in 1891, placing it among the older residential structures in the NW corridor. The address sits at the convergence of Massachusetts Avenue and Rhode Island Avenue, two of DC’s most storied thoroughfares, with Scott Circle green space immediately at the building’s doorstep.

The one-bedroom, one-bath layout spans 518 square feet — a compact and deliberate footprint that reflects the scale of the building’s original construction. The HOA structure covers gas, insurance, management, and reserve funds, reducing the variable cost burden for the owner.

Dupont Circle, one of NW Washington’s most active neighborhood hubs, is accessible on foot to the south. The surrounding area offers dense walkability to dining, retail, and transit options along the 17th Street and Connecticut Avenue corridors.

At a display price of $262,500, this residence represents one of the lower entry points for ownership at a named, historically significant DC address. The combination of building character, HOA inclusions, and location makes the value proposition straightforward to evaluate.

The Building
The Scott Circle is a named residential building with origins in 1891, giving it architectural and historical context that newer construction cannot replicate. The address places residents directly on Scott Circle, with the namesake green space visible from the building’s immediate surroundings. Few DC addresses carry this degree of civic identity.
The Layout
Unit 104 is a one-bedroom, one-bath residence spanning 518 square feet. The layout is designed for efficient use of space, consistent with the building’s historic construction. The HOA covers gas, insurance, management, and reserve funds, which meaningfully simplifies monthly cost planning for the owner.
The Neighborhood
Scott Circle sits at the northern edge of the Dupont Circle neighborhood, one of NW Washington’s most walkable and transit-rich areas. Dupont Circle park and the Red Line Metro station are accessible on foot to the south. The Connecticut Avenue and 17th Street corridors bring a dense concentration of dining, coffee, and daily retail within easy reach.
The Value Case
At $262,500, this residence offers one of the more accessible entry points for ownership at a historically significant, named DC building. The HOA’s inclusion of gas and insurance reduces ownership complexity. For a buyer weighing cost of entry against location quality in NW Washington, the calculus here is relatively clear.
