1703 Q Street NW | Offered at $2,499,900
Begin with the hard part behind you. This is a rare chance to own one of only 21 remaining T.F. Schneider grand brownstones in Dupont Circle’s storied Schneider’s Row — an 1885 brick-and-stone rowhome rich with architectural pedigree, on one of the neighborhood’s most beautiful tree-lined blocks. Ripe for rejuvenation, the residence comes fully entitled: ANC approval, Historic Preservation Review Board approval, and Dupont Conservancy support are already secured, saving a buyer roughly 18 months of entitlement, design, and permitting work.
The approved program transforms the existing 4,000 square foot row-house into a reimagined five-level, 5,660-square-foot dream home, with an approved three level rear extension and top-floor addition expanding each level to roughly 1,200-square-foot floor plates and soaring 12-foot ceilings throughout. The renderings bring the vision to life: a chef’s kitchen anchored by a waterfall marble island beneath floor-to-ceiling steel windows framing city views; a sun-filled primary suite with a spa bath in book-matched marble and a custom walk-in closet; a formal dining room and a sequence of lounge and entertainment spaces — from an intimate fireside den to an open great room — designed for both everyday living and effortless hosting. Above it all, the approved indoor-outdoor rooftop unfolds into a private entertaining deck with skyline views, reached by a sculptural spiral stair, plus a separate two-car garage for secure off-street parking — a rarity in Dupont Circle.
