Riggs Place is a quiet, treelined street populated by stunning homes courtesy of famed architect Thomas Franklin Schneider, who most notably designed The Cairo apartment building. Steps from the bustling center of Dupont Circle’s bustling heart, one of those stunning homes is for sale -- 1717 Riggs Place NW is now listed for $2.489 million.

1717 Riggs Place offers four spacious levels (including a renovated, separately-metered basement unit) with five bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms over a sprawling 3,600 square feet. Inside the front door, a formal foyer opens to a sitting room with a gas fireplace and a sitting nook in the home’s large bay window. The first level also includes a kitchen, with an oversized island, a formal dining room, and a half bathroom.

The second level is home to a large family room, a full bathroom, and two roomy bedrooms. And the third floor—which is light and airy thanks to multiple skylights—is where the primary bedroom and bathroom can be found, as well as a fourth bedroom that was previously used as an office. That room leads to the private rooftop patio. The home also includes a small front garden plot and a secured parking pad for two cars.

1717 Riggs Place NW is located within a few blocks of dozens of restaurants, shops and neighborhood amenities. The Dupont Circle farmers’ market, the Dupont Circle Metro, Kramers bookstore, and Connecticut Avenue restaurants are all just steps away. The home is also within walking distance of Adams Morgan, the U Street Corridor, and the 14th Street Corridor.
