An already precious diamond has had a remarkable reincarnation. This East Village residence is pure elegance with historic significance awashed in high-end modern conveniences. It is also one of the few properties in Georgetown that spans a full block. Entering from the front you are greeted with an alluring blue door with its antique brass locks and fixtures and a marble foyer. Entering from the back you can park in one of your three spaces, stroll from the back gate to the walkways lined with perennials and annuals, passing the sumptuous lawn bordered by a bounty of more flowers, blooming trees and bushes, then to the slate patio with its fountain that takes several waterfalls into a tempting tile-lined pond. With its 6,748 square-foot lot, reaching from 28th to 29th Street, it is a unique property with immeasurable privacy. It is difficult believing you are in a celebrated cosmopolitan neighborhood because of the back garden oasis – an oasis with an automatic irrigation system and subtle lighting and an easement for a pool.

Because there were two divided HVAC systems still serving the home, a decision was made to combine them into new high efficiency forced air systems which required adjustments and demolition throughout the interior.

The kitchen is all new, sleek, and fixed with the highest end of German technology from Seimatic cabinetry and Gaggenau appliances. The residence has seven bedrooms, some of which have the advantage of switching into offices or an exercise room, five bathrooms, two powder rooms, and laundry.
