Description 

Located in the heart’ of historic Dupont Circle's Seventeenth Street Corridor, 1638 R Street was originally built in 1915, as a luxury apartment building.  In the years since 1915, 1638 R Street has provided beautiful residences and offices for several generations of Washingtonians.   The current owner was determined to renovate the building in a manner befitting the historic character of the neighborhood and the dignified history of the building itself.  The front façade has been cleaned and restored to its original luster.  When new mortar had to be used, its color was carefully matched to the original.  The original decorative elements have been retained.

Equal attention was lavished on the interior restoration.  The lobby has been restored to its original splendor.  Its marble steps were painstakingly poulticed to reverse the effects of decades of use. Similarly, the hardwood floors were sanded, polished, and restored.  The original sinks were refinished and refurbished.  Many of the original light fixtures and mantles are still in the building, carefully restored to their 1915 appearance.  Where new fixtures were added, they were tastefully chosen to complement the originals.   Even the molding has been restored to its original condition and appearance.

Now this building, recognized by the District as one of its historic properties, is ready for you. Convenient to the metro, shops, and restaurants of Seventeenth Street and Dupont Circle, 1638 R Street benefits from a high concentration of pedestrian traffic. The neighborhood is charming, active, and affluent, representing the best of urban America.  Whether you desire an office, store or
a Penthouse Home, 1638 R Street can meet your needs.  Call Vogel Realty at (202) 332-7323 for more information. You deserve to be here.
