The Ice Cream House: A Logan Circle Landmark

Impeccably restored and reimagined for modern luxury, 1514 R Street NW offers approximately 5,000 square feet across four exceptional levels in the heart of Logan Circle. Historic craftsmanship blends seamlessly with contemporary design, featuring restored original wood paneling, pocket doors, reclaimed heart pine floors, and six working fireplaces.

The main level showcases gracious living and dining rooms with fireplaces and marble hearths, plus a designer kitchen by Jennifer Gilmer Kitchens with custom cabinetry, JennAir appliances, and French steel doors opening to a glass deck. Upstairs, beautifully appointed private quarters feature original mosaic tile, Rohl Apothecary fixtures, a Kingston Brass clawfoot tub, second-floor laundry, and a gas fireplace in the primary bathroom.

The lower level offers a second full kitchen with GE Café appliances, travertine floors, exposed brick, arched doorways, abundant natural light, and a second laundry area—ideal for guests, extended family, or rental use. Completely rebuilt with new HVAC, plumbing, electrical, sprinkler system, tankless water heaters, and energy-efficient windows, the home also includes two secure parking spaces with an EV charger. Steps from Logan Circle, 14th Street, and Dupont Circle, this extraordinary residence delivers historic character, craftsmanship, and sophisticated urban living.
