The Duncan
In 1906 Dr. William Duncan McKim commissioned his spectacular private mansion to be built with a grand music room boasting 45 foot ceilings and a near-full-height stained glass window, a signature trademark of the building today. Prominent architects Hornblower and Marshall, whose credits include the Smithsonian’s Natural History Museum, the Duncan Phillips House, and countless private residential mansions designed the building. More recently the property served as the Taiwanese Embassy until being converted into a 9 unit luxury condominium by DC based Zahn Design in 2004. The Duncan remains a distinctive Dupont Circle landmark with its gas lamps, original two story stained glass window and impressive entryway.
Today residents enjoy the one and two level living spaces replete with the finest finishes available enveloped in architecturally significant design. Large, airy and open floor plans feature hardwood flooring throughout, enormous windows that flood the spaces with sunlight, gourmet kitchens, spa like baths and wood burning fireplaces. The Duncan is a rare offering and units that come up here don't stay on the market for long.
