1314 28th St NW Washington, DC 20007

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.
Major renovations have occurred through the last few years and just completed. 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. Not only were the changes made providing the premium in high-end technology but also a reason to incorporate, introduce and enrich the home with new life and beautification while still maintaining the character of Georgetown and balancing modern amenities and upgrades.
The public rooms within this over 5,300 square-foot residence form a masterpiece of sunlight and flow. The nine-foot-ceiling living room with balcony and fireplace provides over 360 square feet of entertaining space and is the intro to four spectacular rooms. The library or family room, depending on your preference, has two walls of built-ins, a fireplace, and double pane glass French doors to the gardens. The adjoining dining room is a glamorous standout feature which flows into the spacious double pane glass sunroom where you can listen to the tinkling of the fountain and feel as if you are outdoors no matter the season. 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. An impressive study with its original stone fireplace and which greets you as you enter can also be used as an office or family room, And, finally, there are scores of special touches added, to make this property the ultimate in Georgetown.
