Introducing 1538 Swann St, a beautifully renovated two-unit Dupont Circle residential property, offering exceptional flexibility for investors, urban dwellers, or pied-Ă -terre seekers. This is a unique opportunity providing the option to live in one unit and rent the other or rent both units to maximize income potential. Sophisticated investors will love distinctive DC living while maintaining a steady rental income. Renovated in 2017, both units have the same meticulous finishes and offer open plan living, with a central kitchen positioned between the living and dining areas. The kitchens in both units have Sub-Zero and Bosch appliances with Spanish Silestone counters. Each of the units are two-levels with two-bedrooms and two-baths on a separate level from the main living area. Fantastic natural light floods through the expansive windows highlighting the modern finishes and recent updates. The upper unit, currently available for owner occupancy, has multiple skylights in the primary bedroom and soaring ceilings. The lower unit, currently rented, benefits from a private patio perfect for summer evenings. The unbeatable location puts you at the intersection of Dupont Circle, Logan Circle and the U Street Corridor on one of DC's most coveted tree-lined streets. Live steps away from the city's most talked about restaurants and shopping with this elegant property in one of DC's most iconic neighborhoods.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
