About This Home

Just listed and open Sunday, 4/27, from 1-3 PM. Welcome to 2008 R Street NW, a distinguished brownstone in the heart of Kalorama—one of Washington, DC’s most prestigious and picturesque neighborhoods. Originally commissioned in 1886 by Benjamin H. Warder, the agricultural magnate whose company later became part of International Harvester, this stately 5-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom residence blends the grandeur of a bygone era with tasteful contemporary updates. The classic stone façade and wide entry steps usher you into a world of architectural refinement. Inside, soaring 11-foot ceilings, original millwork, heart of pine floors, and preserved details like antique doorknobs and radiator grates reflect the home’s rich history. A gracious formal entry gives way to expansive entertaining spaces both on the main and upper levels, including a large first-floor reception room/office with handsome fireplace, mirrors and even larger second-floor living room with handsome built-ins, its own fireplace, recessed lighting, and wonderful flow to the kitchen, dining room, and private deck beyond. A first-floor bedroom suite enjoys elevator access and its own private covered deck. The kitchen, warm and functional with south facing windows, offers ample storage, a sunny breakfast room, LG appliances, those same character-rich pine floors underfoot, and a convenient powder room. Upstairs, the owner’s suite is a retreat of modern indulgence: a fully renovated marble wet room with dual rain showers and a double vanity adds a spa-like sensibility. Additional bathrooms have also been updated, while the lower level features a fully renovated and separately metered one-bedroom unit with a Certificate of Occupancy, perfect for rental income or extended-stay guests. The top floor offers bonus studio or bedroom space with excellent light and elevated views—ideal for creative pursuits or a hidden home office. Thoughtfully updated for modern living, the home features a rare private elevator with stops on each of the 3 main living levels, newly serviced HVAC and fastidious maintenance performed on all systems, plus a new hot water heater. Two-car parking and generous walk-in attic storage add function and daily convenience. Set just off Connecticut Avenue and moments from the metro, Dupont Circle, Mitchell Park, Rock Creek trails, P Street Beach, and a vibrant mix of restaurants, cafes, and shops, this location offers quintessential DC walkability and charm. Nestled among tree-lined streets and embassies, the home provides an ideal urban sanctuary. Steeped in history yet wholly livable for today, 2008 R Street NW is a unique offering in a neighborhood that epitomizes the very best of Washington, DC. For those seeking storied architecture, thoughtful upgrades, and an unbeatable location, this is the one.
