3019 O STREET NW

WASHINGTON, DC 20007

In Georgetown’s East Village, this elegant semi detached Victorian townhouse pairs distinctive architectural character with a remarkable connection to the neighborhood’s history. Built in 1905, the four bedroom residence offers three full bathrooms and one half bathroom, along with a rounded brick bay, stone detailing and a traditional raised entrance. John Leetch, a successful Georgetown merchant, who operated near the Potomac waterfront, built this townhouse and four neighboring O Street residences. Leetch acquired the land from Commodore Cassin, and the properties were arranged around a shared alleyway designed to accommodate carriages behind the homes. The current owners have cared for this elegant townhouse for over 60 years. The main level combines generous proportions, high ceilings and hardwood floors that lend warmth and character throughout the living spaces. A large formal living room, centered around a fireplace, offers an inviting setting for conversation and quiet relaxation. The formal dining room accommodates seating for ten or more, providing a gracious backdrop for meals, celebrations and entertaining. In the updated kitchen, an ornate tin ceiling adds architectural interest, while large windows overlooking the landscaped garden bring natural light into the room and create a pleasant connection to the grounds. A hallway powder room adds everyday convenience for residents and guests. Upstairs, the primary bedroom features high ceilings and two closets, including one walk in closet. Its new private bathroom combines marble hexagon tile flooring with Waterworks fixtures for a refined, thoughtfully updated finish. Two additional bedrooms share a hall bathroom, while a washer drawer on this level provides practical household convenience. The lower level includes a separate apartment with its own entrance, a full kitchen and a full bathroom. This flexible accommodation offers a comfortable setting for guests, extended household needs or other uses while maintaining separation from the principal living areas. The landscaped garden extends the home’s living environment beyond the interior and can be enjoyed from the kitchen through its large windows. Together with the townhouse’s formal rooms and enduring architectural details, the garden contributes to a setting that feels both gracious and connected to the surrounding historic streetscape. With thoughtful updates, generous proportions and a deeply rooted Georgetown history, this townhouse offers an exceptional sense of character and lifestyle.
