2125 Bancroft Pl NW

Built in 1910 by noted Washington builder Harry Wardman and designed by architect A.H. Beers, this Georgian-style townhouse offers a chance to own a piece of Kalorama’s history. Set on the south-facing side of Bancroft Place, the home retains many original details, including parquet floors, detailed moldings, and three working fireplaces. The four-level layout reflects a traditional early 20th-century design: the street level provides entry and service spaces, with a separate one-bedroom suite that could be used for staff or guests. The second floor was planned for entertaining and opens to a private patio, and the upper floors contain six bedrooms and three and a half baths, including a full third-floor suite. Bancroft’s appeal lies not only in its architectural heritage but also in its proximity to the best of Washington. The neighborhood offers a quiet residential setting within easy reach of the Metro, downtown offices, and a wide selection of dining and cultural destinations. This home combines historic character with the convenience of city living in one of D.C.’s most established neighborhoods.
