1919 23rd Street

Presenting this distinguished end-of-row townhome in Kalorama, offering 5 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, and over 4,700 square feet across four gracious levels. Originally constructed in 1916 and masterfully reimagined by architect Outerbridge Horsey in 2012, the residence blends timeless architectural character with elegant modern updates. Classic crown moldings, intricate trimwork, soaring ceilings, and rich hardwood floors reflect the home’s original grandeur, while 24 additional side windows flood the interiors with natural light and frame verdant views of neighboring gardens and historic homes.

A marble foyer sets an elegant tone upon entry. Ascend the central staircase to the main level, where a gracious gallery opens to formal entertaining rooms: a living room with oversized windows and an ornate fireplace, and a formal dining room with another handsome fireplace, flowing effortlessly into the gourmet kitchen/ family room. Thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the kitchen features a large center island, custom cabinetry, chef-grade appliances, and French doors opening to a flagstone patio and a private garden terrace just above the two-car garage - an idyllic outdoor extension of the living space.
The second level hosts the king-sized primary suite, complete with a custom-built dressing room, a marble-clad ensuite bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, and glass-enclosed shower, and multiple skylights that bring in abundant natural light. A second bedroom or library/office with an ensuite bath completes this floor. The top level offers two additional bedrooms and two full baths (one ensuite), with generous storage throughout.
The entry level provides remarkable flexibility, featuring a large family room, gym or office, guest bedroom, full bath, laundry room, and a powder room for visitors. A spacious two-car garage completes this exceptional offering.

Set in the heart of Kalorama—just moments from Embassy Row, the city’s finest cultural institutions, and a charming selection of neighborhood cafés—this is a residence of enduring elegance and distinction. A home without compromise.
