A Historic NW Residence on 17th Street

The residence at 1939 17th St NW #4 occupies a building constructed in 1910, placing it among the older residential structures still in active use along this stretch of NW Washington. At 627 square feet, the one-bedroom floor plan is efficiently scaled for the neighborhood’s urban context, offering a livable layout without excess.

The HOA structure here is notably comprehensive. Water, sewer, trash, exterior building maintenance, management fees, and reserve fund contributions are all included — a meaningful offset against the monthly cost of ownership that buyers should factor into any side-by-side comparison with comparable listings.

The 17th Street NW corridor connects directly to the U Street and Dupont Circle neighborhoods, giving this address walkable access to a dense concentration of dining, retail, and cultural venues. The Green and Yellow Line Metro stations at U Street and the Red Line at Dupont Circle are both accessible without a car.

At $431,500, this residence represents a considered price point for the submarket. The combination of historic building character, inclusive HOA coverage, and a location embedded in one of DC’s most active NW neighborhoods makes this a property worth evaluating carefully.

The Building
The building at 1939 17th St NW dates to 1910, giving the residence a structural and architectural context that newer construction cannot replicate. Unit 4 sits within this historic framework, offering 627 square feet configured as a one-bedroom, one-bath residence. The building’s age is a distinguishing characteristic in a neighborhood where pre-war stock is consistently sought.
HOA Coverage
The monthly HOA fee covers an unusually broad set of expenses: water, sewer, trash removal, exterior building maintenance, professional management, and contributions to reserve funds. For buyers comparing true monthly carrying costs across listings, this level of inclusion can meaningfully shift the calculus in favor of this residence.
The Corridor
17th Street NW runs through the connective tissue between Dupont Circle and the U Street Corridor, two of DC’s most established and active neighborhoods. Local cafes, restaurants, grocers, and cultural venues are within walking distance. Both the Green and Yellow Line at U Street and the Red Line at Dupont Circle provide strong transit access to the broader metro area.
The Value Case
The asking price of $431,500 positions this residence competitively within the NW condo market for a one-bedroom unit with this level of HOA inclusion and building history. Buyers evaluating this property should request recent comparable sales data to contextualize the pricing — a step the Wardman Residential team can facilitate directly.
