This four-level, 3,224-square-foot townhouse in Dupont Circle is an explosion of color with fun architectural touches at every turn.
Touted as blending “Victorian elegance with striking modern architectural design,” according to the listing, the home features a three-story rear-of-the-house addition by architect David Jamieson, and was the recipient of an award from the DC chapter of the American Institute of Architects in 2011.
Its moniker, “The Barcode House,” comes from the steel lines fixed horizontally across a section of multi-story glass walls. The home has four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms—three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms in the main residence, which includes the ground level and the two above, plus a lower-level apartment with one bedroom, one bathroom, its own kitchen, and a washer/dryer, which can be rented out or used as a guest or au pair suite, or a separate office.
Interior details include hardwood floors throughout (heated in the den and kitchen), multiple outdoor spaces, a bathroom with Italian-glass tiles, and a top-floor primary suite with in-suite laundry and walk-in closets. Plus: a stained-glass transom above the front door, off-street parking for one car, and a private rooftop deck.
The home, at 1749 18th St. NW, is listed by Jennifer Touchette and Meredith Margolis for $1,650,000. See photos of it below.
