Tucked away on one of Dupont Circle’s quietest little streets, this charming Riggs Place townhouse offers a remarkably complete way to live in the heart of the city. Behind its handsome bay-front façade are four generous levels of living space, wonderful southern light, multiple outdoor spaces, a spectacular roof deck, and private parking, all just a few blocks from the Metro, Dupont Circle, the farmers market, and the restaurants and shops of 18th Street and Connecticut Avenue. The main level pairs a bright, inviting living room with an exceptionally large eat-in kitchen offering abundant cabinetry and counter space, stainless steel appliances, plenty of room for a substantial dining table, and access to a covered rear deck. A convenient powder room completes the level. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a full hall bath, including an especially spacious south-facing front bedroom filled with natural light. A second covered deck provides another unexpected outdoor retreat. Above, the entire next floor is devoted to the primary suite, creating a private escape with a sun-filled bedroom, separate sitting room or home office, generous walk-in closet, large bath with double vanity, and conveniently located laundry. The lower level adds tremendous flexibility with a large recreation room and full bath, equally suited to a family room, media room, gym, guest space, or home office. And at the very top, a remarkable south-facing roof deck creates a private place to entertain, garden, dine, or simply enjoy the sky above Dupont. Freshly painted and move-in ready, the house combines the space and flexibility of a substantial home with the ease, walkability, and energy of one of Washington’s most beloved neighborhoods. All of this creates a wonderfully inviting place to call home.

Dupont Circle, located between Logan Circle and Georgetown, is a historic and cosmopolitan Washington neighborhood with a grand traffic circle and embassy-row streetscapes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at Dupont Circle itself, where Connecticut Avenue NW and Massachusetts Avenue NW meet amid sidewalk cafes, indie bookstores, galleries, and late-night dining. The Phillips Collection and Kramerbooks & Afterwords anchor its cultural rhythm, with the historic Dupont Circle Hotel adding a polished lobby scene. Rowhouses and Beaux-Arts apartment buildings line leafy blocks, while pocket parks and small plazas break up the avenues. Metro entrances and bike lanes thread through the circle, keeping daily errands and evenings out on foot.
