2720 Dumbarton Street NW

Georgetown • $5.99 million

First up, this restored, modern residence originally landed on the market for $6.5 million. It has had a long history of hosting several celebrities, including Presidents John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, and George W. Bush. The property was designed in circa 1948 by Joseph Alsop, one of the nation’s most influential and widely read political columnists of the time, according to the Washington Post.

Not only does this property offer a variety of amenities, built-ins, and striking interiors, there is also this separate dining room. Its wallpaper resembles cherry blossoms, while the floral touches on the lighting fixtures truly pull it all together.

3005 45th Street NW

Wesley Heights • $15.9 million

This single-family home has been previously featured in an interior design roundup on Curbed DC, praised for its rather expansive wine cellar and amenities like a putting green and half an acre of land to spare.

Certainly, the dining room deserves a moment in the spotlight as well. With a golden glow and crystal chandeliers, this space is sure to make guests say, “Wow.”

1821 23rd Street NW

Kalorama • $2,995,000

Cherry blossom season isn’t over, and it never has to be over, thanks to this floral dining room. The silver, shiny wallpaper really brightens the space. Not seen is a fireplace directly adjacent to the table.

Other highlights to this townhouse is its library, office, and rooftop deck. Two-car off-street parking is also included.

2905 University Terrace NW

Kent • $4.2 million

If the previous dining rooms seemed a little busy for some people’s tastes, this one should be much more well-liked. This space is very streamlined and minimalist with the added touch of a wood-paneled ceiling and a simple, yet bold lighting fixture.

This home last sold for $905,000 in June 2014. It relisted in October 2017 for $4.45 million and has since experienced a price chop.

1854 Kalorama Road NW

Kalorama • $2.5 million

Last but not least, this stately townhouse is on the market with a three-room-deep living room, separate lower-level apartment, and a two-car garage. Throughout, there are plaster moldings, brass knobs, and skylights. There is also this formal dining room, complemented by a fireplace, wainscoting, and coffered ceilings.

According to the listing, this home was built in 1911 and offers a wet bar on every floor.
