Location: Washington, D.C. Price: $8.9 million
The 18th president of the United States was in office when this stunning home was erected in the prestigious East Village area of Washington, D.C.’s Georgetown neighborhood. Its structural design details—soaring ceilings, shuttered windows, and multiple fireplaces throughout—speak to the home’s past, before sophisticated heating and cooling methods were introduced.
Over the years, the mansion has been impeccably well maintained and updated with the conveniences of modern life: a wine cellar, marble terrace, swimming pool, and gym.

"It exudes the very best of Georgetown with unparalleled living and spaces to host, amplified by the prominent windows and soaring ceilings throughout the property," said listing agent Veronica Seva Gonzalez of Compass Real Estate. "It’s an ideal home for both family living and large-scale entertaining."
The Stats
The 8,610-square-foot home sits on .22 acres, situated "on a massive corner lot in the heart of Georgetown," Ms. Gonzalez noted. Inside, nine bedrooms are dispersed across four floors, their occupants serviced by eight full bathrooms and three half-bathrooms. "The finished lower level can be used as an au-pair or in-law suite, serviced by a separate, private entrance," Ms. Gonzalez said.
Amenities
The glory of this home comes by way of the grand nods to the past in the floorplan—a massive wood-paneled library, a master suite dressing room, a parlor room, and staff quarters—all reminiscent of what life was like for 19th century elites.
The home is outfitted with five fireplaces, a novelty nowadays, and intricate crown moulding and hardwood floors throughout nearly every room in the house.
Though it’s in the heart of bustling Georgetown, the home features expansive outdoor space. Guests arrive through "a grand entrance with professional landscaping and mature trees, and a separate side entrance offers a U-shaped driveway and garage. Expansive lower and upper terraces overlook a beautiful garden, brick courtyard, and pool, a feature that is unique to the area," Ms. Gonzalez said.
Neighborhood Notes
The home is "just steps from Montrose Park and Dumbarton Oaks, along with the many upscale and lively amenities offered by vibrant Georgetown, and offers direct access to Rock Creek Parkway, Wisconsin Avenue, and Massachusetts Avenue," Ms. Gonzalez said. "This exceptional property resides in close proximity to the nation's foremost cultural and educational centers, as well as Washington National and Dulles International Airports."
