Home Details

Prominently situated on a leafy, tree-lined street roughly equidistant between Dupont and Logan Circle, 1620 Riggs Place NW evokes the charm of classic New York City brownstones. A historical marvel, thoroughly reimagined for modern life, the home strikes a balance between character and contemporary sophistication. From the first step inside, a sense of elegance sets the tonewith gold accents and original hardwarea separate vestibule introduces the main level, effectively unveiling the homes generous 3,100 square feet of living space. Thoughtfully arranged for flexibility and entertainment, the formal living room may be opened seamlessly to the kitchen via pocket doors in a custom cutout allowing for easy flow or intimate separation for more formal gatherings. A dramatic Portoro marble fireplace draws your attention to the space, with a gracious bay window overlooking the picturesque streetscape, bringing in southern light and creating a perfect nook for lounging or display, adding both charm and usable square footage. The 106 ceilings continue into the kitchen, comprehensively redesigned in 2023 to be both bold and a sculptural centerpiece, wrapped in striking Panda marble including a custom hood vent, backsplash, and peninsula waterfall island. A Miele range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and Brizo faucet deliver top-tier functionality for even the most discerning chef. A Cupolina fixture overhead signals the transition into the adjacent breakfast room, where a wall-mounted wine rack adds further flair. Natural light floods the space, accentuated by Pella French doors topped by a stained-glass transom window lead onto the rear terrace and private patio beyond. A mudroom and powder room complete the main level. The entire second floor is dedicated to the fully built-out primary suite, spanning the full width of the home. Floor-to-ceiling windows are dressed in custom drapery, while a pocket door reveals a galley-style , walk-through dressing room lined with extensive custom, built-in cabinetry. Remodeled in 2023, the lavish, ensuite primary bath features heated mosaic floors, a custom dual vanity with Les Quatre Saisons marble sourced from France, and a Noir Saint Laurent tiled walk-in shower behind fluted glass, sourced from Italy. Just beyond, an infrared Sauna Cloud offers a spa-level escape with a glass block window and four-person capacity that is tucked in for privacy. At the top of the original staircase, a stained-glass skylight with original leaded surround crowns the third floor. Three additional bedrooms share a luxuriously appointed bath featuring a glass-enclosed shower and heated floors. Remodeled in 2023, the lower level is a fully self-sufficient retreat with its own private, separate entrance, spacious living area, full bath, laundry facilities, and a thoughtfully designed kitchen appointed with custom built-ins, an island with integrated storage and breakfast bar, and newly installed Pella doors that seamlessly connect to the outdoors. The rear terrace, a private outdoor escape, is fully fenced and finished in Italian marble tile, generous enough to host al fresco gatherings in style. A rooftop deck above the enclosed one-car garage continues the outdoor offerings, with full internet connectivity and outdoor surround sound perfect for quiet mornings, open-air dining, or hosting under the evening stars. Lush plantings and custom lighting create a space that feels both intimate and elevated.
