About this home
Welcome to 2012 R Street NW, an architecturally significant row home built in 1886 by Brainard H. Warner as part of his granite-fronted R Street collection. This historic residence has been home to noted Washington figures including Representative Charles Curtis, who later served as Vice President of the United States. In the 1980s, the parlor floor became the long-term location of the Marsha Mateyka Gallery, one of DC’s prominent contemporary art galleries.
The home's well-preserved 19th-century details include extensive original moldings, multiple fireplaces with historic tile and beveled mirrors, pocket doors, hardwood floors, and exceptional woodwork. A south-facing rear façade brings abundant natural light throughout the home.
Offering three levels of living space above the lower level plus a fourth-floor loft, the layout provides flexibility for bedrooms, workspace, or potential access to a future roof deck. The main level includes formal living and dining rooms and a rear office. The upper levels offer multiple bedrooms, sitting areas, and full baths. The lower level, with both front and rear entries, may function as extended living space or a separate apartment. Outdoor features include a private rear garden and secure parking for two cars.
Located in Kalorama just above Dupont Circle, 2012 R Street NW is around the corner from The Phillips Collection, and is just a stroll to the Metro, the weekend farmers market, & a plethora of neighborhood restaurants, shops, and daily conveniences, including Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and Safeway. Notable neighbors include the Embassies of India and Indonesia and the Consulate of Morocco, all located within just a few blocks of the home. Adjacent to Georgetown and dining corridors along 14th Street, 17th Street, and Connecticut Avenue, you’ll be in the center of it all in this renowned location.
This historic home has been carefully maintained and is priced to accommodate future customization....
