Rarely will you find a home with more to offer than this timeless treasure in the heart of the East Village. This historic Federal-style townhome occupies a prominent position on one of Georgetown’s most desirable blocks, with the neighborhood’s finest offerings at your fingertips. Featuring four levels of living space, a deep south-facing James van Sweden-designed garden, and coveted garage parking, this classically elegant residence offers a wealth of space and historic charm. The journey begins at the welcoming foyer with its fanlight window, decorative arch, and beautiful moldings. A sunny ambiance permeates the entire home, with its four different exposures, filling the space with warmth and light. From the restored pegged oak floors, soaring ceilings, and tapestry of original architectural details, the classic elements blend seamlessly with modern upgrades to make this the ideal place to live and entertain. The expansive living room runs nearly the length of the home, with sunny exposures on three sides, full-height wainscoting, custom built-ins with discreet storage, a gas-burning fireplace, and a triple-sash Jefferson window opening out to a terrace which leads down to the garden. The adjacent study is exquisitely appointed with full-height built-ins and a large three-sided window bay overlooking the rear garden. Step down to the garden level, where you’ll find a spacious eat-in kitchen with oversized windows, featuring high-end appliances, marble counters, a double sink, and plentiful cabinetry. Beyond the kitchen is a graceful formal dining room with crystal wall sconces, crown molding, and views of the rear garden. Just past the dining room sits the family room with its sunny window bay and wraparound wall of custom cabinetry. Filled with natural light and overlooking the garden’s majestic fountain, this cozy space offers a quiet oasis with picturesque views. Step outside to discover the garden with flagstone patios, terraced garden beds, and well-manicured and tasteful plantings. With its tall brick walls for added privacy, this magical space is ideal for daytime respite or hosting evening events. Upper-level private quarters feature two bedrooms and two bathrooms, including the primary suite with antique pine floors, a large dressing room, and an ensuite bath with a marble-top vanity. A spacious front bedroom with windows on two sides currently serves as an additional family room, while a delightful home office with built-ins and plentiful storage offers a quiet and convenient place to work. Three more charming bedrooms are on the top floor, with a full bathroom, and a laundry room. History and community come together splendidly in Georgetown’s distinguished East Village. Residing on one of the most sought-after streets in Georgetown, the home is around the corner from the neighborhood’s finest restaurants and steps from popular Rose Park. Stroll along the brick sidewalks to explore the shops and cafes along Georgetown’s storied boulevards on M and Wisconsin, or make your way down to the canal and waterfront, just steps from your front door.
