This stately detached corner residence is available for the first time in over half a century. The house is located on one of Georgetown’s most sought-after streets among other elegant fully detached residences. The house features sophisticated period details, moldings, high ceilings, four fireplaces, and an elevator servicing three of the four levels. The historic residence is exceptional for entertaining with generously scaled formal rooms.

The gracious main level features a formal living room with an adjacent dry bar, a family room, additional sitting room, and a powder room. On the lower level, the kitchen opens to the dining room, which adjoins a lovely neighboring sitting room. The sitting room provides seamless transition through glass doors to the outdoor terrace and expansive grounds. Additionally, this level provides a large guest bedroom with an en-suite bath and additional storage. The second level has two bedrooms, including the well-appointed primary suite. The room is flooded with natural sunlight and offers a fireplace, walk-in closet, and an en-suite bathroom. There is an additional bedroom, full bathroom, and sitting room on this floor as well. The third level provides a third bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and another spacious sitting room with ample storage space and access to the laundry room. Additionally, this remarkable residence boasts a rarely available brick carriage house that features two-car garage parking and an updated apartment above. The private apartment has a full kitchen with an adjacent living/dining room, a bedroom and bathroom, and a den. The impressive rear and side gardens are a rarity in Georgetown and provide exceptional privacy. There are also numerous brick terraces and areas for outdoor entertaining and dining. This residence is within close walking distance to Dumbarton Oaks and neighborhood favorite restaurants, shops, and parks.
