Dupont Circle, Washington DC

A 1906 Row House on 21st Street NW

The home at 1727 21st Street NW occupies a prominent position on one of Dupont Circle’s most architecturally consistent residential blocks. Built in 1906, the semi-detached structure carries the hallmarks of the neighborhood’s Edwardian-era residential fabric — a period when Dupont Circle was establishing itself as one of Washington’s premier addresses.

Two bedrooms and three and a half baths offer a configuration well suited to the scale of the home, while the semi-detached form provides a degree of separation uncommon in the densest parts of NW DC. The facade reads as a cohesive part of the streetscape, contributing to the block’s historic continuity.

Dupont Circle park, the neighborhood’s central gathering point, is close at hand, as are the Connecticut Avenue and P Street corridors that define the area’s commercial and cultural identity. The Red Line at Dupont Circle station provides direct access to the broader Metro network.

At $1,280,000, this home represents a considered entry into one of Washington’s most established and walkable neighborhoods — a place where the built environment has remained largely intact for over a century.

Historic Street Presence
The home dates to 1906, placing it among the earliest residential construction on this stretch of 21st Street NW. Its semi-detached form and facade are consistent with the architectural character that defines Dupont Circle’s most intact residential blocks. The tree-lined setting reinforces the sense of a neighborhood that has preserved its original scale.
Configuration and Scale
Two bedrooms and three full baths, plus a half bath, provide a practical and comfortable layout within a historic structure. The semi-detached configuration distinguishes the home from the fully attached row houses that dominate much of NW DC, offering additional light exposure and a measure of acoustic separation.
Neighborhood Context
Dupont Circle is among Washington’s most walkable neighborhoods, with Connecticut Avenue, P Street, and the circle itself within easy reach. The Red Line at Dupont Circle station connects residents to downtown DC, Bethesda, and beyond. Local cafes, restaurants, galleries, and daily-needs retail are all accessible on foot.
Market Position
The $1,280,000 asking price reflects the home’s location on a premier Dupont Circle block and its status as a well-preserved example of early twentieth-century NW DC residential architecture. Comparable semi-detached row houses in this submarket are limited in supply, making this a notable opportunity for buyers focused on historic Dupont Circle.

Property Location

About 1727 21st St NW

The home at 1727 21st Street NW was constructed in 1906 as part of the wave of semi-detached residential development that shaped Dupont Circle’s streetscape during the Edwardian era. Its facade reflects the architectural vocabulary of that period — brick construction, period proportions, and a street presence that anchors the block. The semi-detached form is a relative rarity in this part of NW DC, where fully attached row houses are the dominant typology. Two bedrooms and three and a half baths complete a layout that balances historic character with functional living.

Dupont Circle is one of Washington’s most recognizable and enduring neighborhoods, defined by its namesake park, its concentration of independent restaurants and cafes, and its dense stock of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century residential architecture. The 21st Street NW corridor sits within the quieter residential core of the neighborhood, removed from the commercial intensity of Connecticut Avenue while remaining within easy walking distance of it. Dupont Circle station on the Red Line provides direct Metro access, and the neighborhood’s walkability score is among the highest in the city.

Daily life in Dupont Circle is organized around the street and the sidewalk. The circle itself serves as a gathering point, and the surrounding blocks offer a density of dining, coffee, bookshops, and specialty retail that few DC neighborhoods can match. Nearby green spaces, including the circle’s own park, provide outdoor respite within the urban fabric. The neighborhood’s central position in NW DC also makes it a natural base for reaching other parts of the city, whether by Metro, bicycle, or on foot.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

Key details about the residence, building, and location to help you evaluate this opportunity.

A semi-detached home shares one side wall with a neighboring structure rather than two, as is the case with a fully attached row house. On 21st Street NW, this configuration provides additional light exposure on the open side and a degree of separation that is uncommon in Dupont Circle’s dense residential fabric.
Pre-war construction in DC typically means original masonry, period millwork, and structural systems that have been maintained or updated over more than a century. Buyers of historic homes should commission a thorough inspection and review any permits or renovation history. The character that comes with a 1906 structure is also part of its enduring appeal in a neighborhood like Dupont Circle.
Parking details were not specified in the listing data available. Buyers interested in this home should confirm parking availability directly with the listing agent or through a title and permit search. Dupont Circle is a highly walkable neighborhood with strong transit access, and many residents in the area do not rely on a personal vehicle.
Dupont Circle station on the Red Line is close to 1727 21st Street NW, providing direct service to downtown DC, Bethesda, and Silver Spring. The Red Line is one of the Metro system’s most heavily used corridors, connecting Dupont Circle to major employment centers and other transit hubs throughout the region.
Dupont Circle is one of Washington’s most walkable and commercially active neighborhoods. Connecticut Avenue and P Street offer a wide range of dining, retail, and services, while the circle’s park provides a central green gathering space. The 21st Street NW block where this home sits is within the quieter residential core, offering a calmer setting while remaining steps from the neighborhood’s amenities.

Buyers focused on this property type in this neighborhood should expect limited inventory. The Wardman Residential team can provide recent comparable sales data upon request.
