Washington, DC 20007

Built in 1823, this authentic Federal home is one of three distinguished houses shown on the south side of West Street, between Washington and Greene Streets, on James Keily’s map of Georgetown from 1851. This rare residence has been meticulously preserved and modernized by the present owner, offering an exquisite blend of historic charm and contemporary convenience. The property is further enhanced by an impressively deep south garden, a staple of the Georgetown Garden Tour since its inception, known for its extraordinary plantings, low horizon line, and general orientation that create a captivating landscape enjoyed from every level of the house. Upon entering, the generous entry hall showcases original details and 10-foot ceilings, setting the tone for the elegance found throughout the main level. The double drawing room, filled with natural light from two exposures, features original fireplaces, antique light fixtures, and built-in bookshelves, creating a timeless and classic Georgetown space. At the end of the hallway, a butler's pantry includes a south-facing window, coat closets, a wet bar with a fridge, a powder room, an elevator, and access to a charming south-facing porch, providing both practicality and style. The ground floor is designed for both elegance and functionality. A side entrance leads to a hallway flanked by storage and access to a second powder room. The large, light-filled kitchen boasts granite countertops and backsplash, Leicht cabinetry with modern conveniences such as a fold-out pantry, piston drawers, and roll-out cabinets. Top-of-the-line appliances include a Sub-Zero refrigerator with two freezer drawers, a five-burner cooktop, a built-in microwave, and a wall oven, complemented by an additional bar fridge and Sub-Zero freezer behind the granite bar. Adjacent to the kitchen is a spacious utility room. This level also features a large dining room with a fireplace and a cozy, light-filled family room with built-in cabinets, offering direct views and access to the garden through large glass doors. The second floor comprises two expansive, light-filled bedrooms, each with matching fireplaces and en suite bathrooms.
