Property Description
Welcome to one of Dupont Circle's most iconic row homes, built in 1886 by renowned developer Brainard H. Warner as part of the celebrated granite-fronted row on R Street NW. Steeped in rich American history, the residence was home to Charles Curtis in 1901—then a Kansas Congressman, later U.S. Senate Majority Leader, and ultimately Vice President under Herbert Hoover in 1929.
Beyond its political past, the home has played a vibrant role in the city's creative life. In 1984, its elegant parlor floor became the Marsha Mateyka Gallery, a cultural cornerstone that helped launch the First Friday Dupont Art Walk and showcased over 200 exhibitions of contemporary art over four decades.
Spanning approximately 4,141 square feet across five levels, the six-bedroom, three-bathroom home features exquisite period details in the Charles Eastlake style: intricate woodwork, five original fireplaces, antique tilework, and pocket doors. The main level offers formal living, parlor, and dining rooms—each with a fireplace—while the second and third floors host generous bedrooms, a loft, sitting rooms, and ample storage. The top level offers additional bedroom space and attic storage. The lower level includes a den, kitchenette, and bedroom—ideal for guests or an in-law suite.
A rear deck, intimate garden, and two-car parking complete this rare offering in one of Washington's most historic and beloved neighborhoods.
The home's sale was recently featured in the Washington Business Journal.
