Logan Circle Grande Dame Historic Charm, Roof Deck, Garage & Income Step into the main house at 1517 Kingman Place NW and discover three full floors of exquisite original character — including soaring ceilings, unpainted woodwork, three working fireplaces, and tall windows. With five bedrooms, two full baths and a private roof deck, this residence offers a rare combination of scale, feel, and flexibility in one of DC’s most iconic neighborhoods. The home is in comfortable, live-in condition, perfect for those who want to enjoy it now and renovate over time — or jump straight into transforming a truly special space in a GREAT location. Out back, enjoy a lush, landscaped, landlocked garden with high privacy walls and a charming brick patio — a rare urban retreat that feels worlds away from the city. Designed by W. Bruce Gray and built in 1887 by businesswoman Mary Ragan, the home sits on a ginkgo-lined block featured multiple times in Vogue Magazine for its architectural beauty and timeless appeal. Separately, a 1.5-car detached garage is located to the side of the property in the adjacent alley, offering secure parking, extra storage, and vertical expansion potential(inquire for further details). The garage is separately deeded and includes a small monthly condo fee of $55.37. The fully renovated lower level features a 1BR + den / 1BA English basement with front and rear entrances, a Certificate of Occupancy, and a current furnished lease at $2,800/month through next year. The upper unit is currently rented at $7,000/month on a month-to-month lease, providing strong, flexible income while you plan your next steps. Previously permitted plans convey, offering a head start for those looking to expand, reconfigure, or simply elevate this historic Logan Circle gem.
