1933 CALVERT ST NW
Washington, DC 20009

Description:

Tucked into one of Washington’s most coveted enclaves, 1933 Calvert Street NW is a masterclass in modern luxury, thoughtful architecture, and timeless craftsmanship. Behind its classic brick façade, this five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath residence unfolds across four impeccably finished levels, where soaring 10-foot ceilings on the main and second floors establish a sense of openness and grandeur from the moment you enter. The home was conceived by Bonstra | Haresign Architects, a nationally recognized Washington, DC firm whose residential work has been repeatedly honored by AIA design juries for the qualities that define this residence: inventive use of space, flowing interiors, and, above all, natural light. The firm is known for reimagining the traditional DC townhouse—opening narrow urban footprints to sunlight and views, dissolving the boundary between interior and exterior, and layering refined contemporary details within the city’s historic fabric. Its rowhouse designs have received AIA recognition specifically for maximizing light, openness, and livability through contemporary architecture. For the discerning buyer, the significance is simple: this is not a builder-grade renovation. It is a home conceived by architects whose work is studied, published, and honored throughout the region—the same elevated design standard behind some of Washington’s most admired buildings. At the heart of the home, a chef’s kitchen pairs custom two-tone white and natural oak cabinetry with premium quartz surfaces and a complete Thermador professional appliance suite, including the range, hood, refrigerator, and dishwasher. Designed for effortless entertaining, the kitchen flows seamlessly into the home’s expansive living and dining spaces. Site-finished white oak flooring extends throughout, complemented by designer-grade millwork, custom wall paneling, crown molding, and a striking floating staircase wrapped in frameless glass. Expansive windows and thoughtfully placed openings allow natural light to travel throughout the interiors, reinforcing the home’s architectural emphasis on openness and connection. The primary suite is a private retreat featuring dual California Closets walk-in wardrobes and a spa-inspired bathroom dressed in full Porcelanosa marble and quartz. Heated bathroom floors add an additional layer of comfort and luxury to the serene, hotel-inspired space. Two custom wet bars—one anchoring the finished lower level and the other serving the top-floor entertaining lounge—extend the home’s flair for hosting. Above, a private rooftop deck offers sweeping views over the nation’s capital and an exceptional setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, or relaxing beneath the city skyline. Every detail has been carefully considered, including brand-new Andersen windows, recessed dimmable LED lighting, a dual-zone HVAC system with independent climate control on each level, and a fully finished lower level with a bedroom, full bathroom, recreation space, and private rear entrance. Two-car private parking completes the residence. All of this is set in prime Kalorama, moments from Embassy Row, Dupont Circle, the Metro, neighborhood parks, and some of Washington’s finest dining, shopping, and cultural destinations. Join us for a catered open house on Wednesday, July 15, from 4:00–7:00 PM.
