2532 I STREET NWWASHINGTON, DC 20037

This architecturally significant, semi-detached residence in Foggy Bottom offers a million-dollar view of the Watergate—yet it’s priced under a million. With dedicated off-street parking, a private terraced garden, and rich historic details, the home delivers both timeless character and modern comfort. •Built in 1889 by renowned builder Peter McCartney, the home’s handsome brick façade, framed by an ornate cornice and refined woodwork, sets the stage. Inside, the original McCartney floor plan remains intact, highlighted by an authentic wood-burning fireplace with hand-carved mantle, graceful living spaces, and 19th-century craftsmanship. •The luxury kitchen blends elegance and function, featuring a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, Blomberg laundry, marble countertops and backsplash, and excellent storage. •Abundant natural light fills the space, while a 9-foot pocket door allows the dining area to transform into an intimate, separate room. •A bricked arched passageway opens into a private terraced garden, where a mural by Swiss artist Daniel Zeltner infuses the space with vibrant, contemporary artistry. •All recent updates—completed since 2021—include new windows, a fully renovated bathroom, and modern HVAC, ensuring everyday comfort while preserving historic character. Dedicated off-street parking adds rare convenience in this highly walkable neighborhood. •The location elevates the lifestyle as much as the view. Just blocks from the Kennedy Center, George Washington University, the State Department, Georgetown, and West End, you’ll find dining, culture, and world-class institutions moments from your front door. Everyday essentials like Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods are three blocks away, while Rock Creek Parkway and I-66 provide easy weekend escapes. Francis Pool is four blocks away, and the soon-to-open Green’s Court Park—with a dog run and children’s playground—will be right on the block. •For commuters and travelers, the Foggy Bottom–GWU Metro (Orange, Blue, Silver lines) is two blocks away, offering direct service to Reagan National, Dulles International, the National Mall, and beyond. This is more than a home—it is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Washington’s history, enjoy a daily million-dollar view of the Watergate, and live a lifestyle of culture, distinction, and stylistic ease, all for under a million dollars. •Square footage based on Third Party ANSI calculation.
