About 1530 15th St NW

Known as the historic Alma Thomas House—once home to the celebrated artist—this distinguished property is a rare offering with both cultural legacy and contemporary appeal. Inside, the home immediately impresses with its scale, light, and custom details. The expansive main level is designed for effortless entertaining and everyday comfort. A dramatic, floor-to-ceiling library wall with a rolling ladder anchors the living room, while an east-facing bay window—with automated shades—offers a perfect spot for morning coffee or a tucked-away workspace.

A center island and a separate breakfast counter are perfect for casual breakfasts or culinary pursuits. Adjacent, a cozy TV lounge opens directly to the professionally landscaped and fenced backyard, offering a private, serene space for relaxing or entertaining. A stylish powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes a walk-in closet and spa-like bath with jetted tub, separate shower, and designer finishes. Two additional bedrooms share a dual-entry bath; the rear bedroom enjoys a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden. A linen closet and the first of two washer/dryer sets add practical convenience to this level. The finished lower level adds further flexibility, with a custom family/media room featuring built-ins, a wet bar with refrigerator, and surround sound wiring. A fourth bedroom and full bath offer ideal space for guests or a home office, with a second washer/dryer set for added functionality. With four true bedrooms, three and a half baths, and multiple living areas across three beautifully finished levels with east, west and south exposures, this home offers space, style, and substance. A parking credit for a nearby garage is included. Additional Highlights: · Smart home upgrades, including a custom historically appropriate front door with smart lock · New kitchen and basement appliances and washer/dryers (2022) · Enhanced security system with cameras, motion lighting, and sensors · Professionally landscaped backyard with new fencing · Recent exterior painting, new front rail, new rear fence, insulated roof-level HVAC, and new skylight access Located just steps from Whole Foods, Le Diplomate, Studio Theatre, and the vibrant shops and dining of Logan Circle, the Alma Thomas House is not only a piece of Washington history—but an exceptional place to call home today.
