This property—an historic 2-unit building with 4 beds and 3 baths in Dupont Circle—has a solid rent potential. Based on recent comps and Q2 2025 market data, similar units in this area average $4,066/month for three beds and $3,173/month for two beds[2][3]. With 4 bedrooms, you could expect monthly rents in the $4.2K–$5K range, possibly higher for well-renovated space. Estimated annual revenue is $50K–$60K+. The payback period, assuming a $1.53M valuation, is roughly 25–30 years. Demand remains high in DC; rents are rebounding, competition from new builds is down, and renter engagement is at the top nationally[1][5]. Classic features—exposed brick, cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors—boost appeal, but “as-is” condition and lack of parking may be challenges.

To maximize rental income, consider upgrades like modern kitchens, in-unit laundry, and energy-efficient systems. Restoring historic details can attract premium tenants. If selling, market the property’s flexibility (multi-family, owner + rental, or conversion) and highlight neighborhood amenities. For investors, split units for individual rental or short-term stays if zoning allows. Address deferred maintenance before listing—well-presented properties fetch better prices and rent faster in Dupont Circle.
