Property Description
Behind the Victorian façade of 1826 15th Street NW is something increasingly difficult to find in central Washington: a substantial historic residence with private parking and a legally established income-producing second dwelling under one roof.
Spanning approximately 2,772 square feet, the home offers five bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, two kitchens, multiple living spaces, and a private two-car parking pad, all near Logan Circle, Dupont Circle, 14th Street, and the U Street corridor.
The defining feature is the English basement.
This is not simply finished lower-level space. It is a separately established dwelling with its own Certificate of Occupancy, private access, kitchen, bath, and living accommodations. Currently tenant occupied, it generates approximately $30,000 per year in rental income.
For an owner occupant, that creates unusual flexibility: continue the existing tenancy, use the space for extended family or guests, or—subject to D.C. licensing requirements—explore short-term rental use.
Above, the main residence retains the proportions and character of a late-19th-century Washington rowhouse, with a traditional floor plan, hardwood floors, built-ins, architectural detailing, abundant natural light, and a fireplace.
At the rear, a private two-car parking pad provides a valuable convenience in one of Washington's most walkable neighborhoods.
The proposition is simple:
2,772 SF
5 bedrooms
3½ baths
2 kitchens
2-car parking pad
Legally separate English-basement residence
Approximately $30,000 in annual rental income
1826 15th Street NW is more than a historic townhouse—it is a primary residence with income built in.
