About this home
The Madeleine at 1706 16th Street NW is a boutique Victorian residence located within the 16th Street Historic District. Originally built in 1907 as part of the distinguished O’Donohue House, this pre-war building is known for its higher ceilings, solid masonry construction, and enduring architectural presence. Once part of a grand mansion on 16th Street — historically referred to as “Presidents Avenue” — the home reflects the prestige of one of Washington’s most celebrated corridors. In 1997, the mansion was thoughtfully modernized and converted into 11 boutique condominiums, blending historic character with contemporary living.
This beautifully renovated condo offers approximately 1,350 square feet of refined space where history and design meet. Original architectural details, detailed moldings, and two wood-burning fireplaces — one in the living room and one anchoring the kitchen — preserve its timeless character, while modern updates elevate everyday living.
The main level features dramatic 10'7" ceilings spanning the living, dining, and kitchen areas, creating exceptional volume and light. The living room fireplace, framed by exquisite millwork, serves as a warm and elegant focal point. Massive architectural windows with plantation shutters fill the home with natural light, complemented by recessed lighting and curated fixtures throughout.
The open kitchen has been fully renovated with quartz countertops, new appliances, tile backsplash, and under-cabinet lighting. An original fireplace adds architectural depth between two expansive living areas, creating a layout that is ideal for both entertaining and relaxed daily living.
Recent improvements include new flooring, a new bannister, fresh paint throughout, recessed lighting, and renovated kitchen and 3 bathrooms. A stylish half bath completes the main level. The lower level offers two spacious primary suites, each with renovated ensuite baths and walk-in closets. French doors open from the primary bedroom to a private brick patio with automatic lighting — a rare outdoor retreat in the heart of Dupont.
The roof was replaced in 2023, and the HVAC system is less than five years old.
Perfectly positioned between Dupont Circle and 14th Street, the location is exceptional. Meridian Hill Park, Mitchell Park, and Rock Creek Park are nearby, along with Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Le Diplomate, Barcelona, Hank’s Oyster Bar, and the Dupont Circle Metro just blocks away.
A rare offering in The Madeleine — where historic elegance meets modern sophistication in one of Washington’s most iconic neighborhoods.
While the residence does not include deeded parking, monthly garage parking is available at Colonial Garage (1616 P Street NW), approximately a four-minute walk from the property....
