1 Scott Circle NW # 616

Own in Dupont Circle without the Dupont Circle price. Six floors up in a 1941 Art Deco landmark, this bright one bedroom hands you the life most people in this neighborhood only rent. A concierge who knows your name. A rooftop with monument views. A home where nearly every utility is already handled. At 482 square feet it lives far larger than the number suggests. Glass French doors close the sleeping area off from the living space. A walk-in closet greets you at the entry and a separate dressing room sits between the bedroom and the bath, so nothing has to live out in the open. Parquet hardwood floors throughout, fresh paint, updated fixtures, gas cooking, a full-size refrigerator, and a built-in microwave. Central air conditioning, which is rare in this building. Assigned storage on the same floor conveys. The General Scott was designed by architect Robert O. Schultz in 1941 and it still carries that era's confidence. Twenty-four hour concierge handling your packages. A landscaped green roof deck with wi-fi, grills, and monumental views where you will end up hosting more than you expect. A resident library, a secure bike room, and laundry down the hall. Walk Score 98. Two blocks to Whole Foods and Starbucks, five blocks north of the White House, steps to Dupont Circle and Farragut North with the Red, Blue, Orange, and Silver Lines all within a half mile. Capital Bikeshare at the door. Monthly parking two blocks away from $271. Then the part that makes it all work. The $615 condo fee covers heat, central air conditioning, gas, water, sewer, cable TV, and high speed internet, plus building insurance, exterior maintenance, management, and reserves. Electricity is the only bill you pay yourself. Healthy reserves and no special assessments. FHA and VA approved. Dogs and cats welcome. This is the one where the numbers finally work and you get the address anyway.
