About This Home

As of April 2025

The epitome of Georgetown elegance, 1409 31st Street NW is the embodiment of luxury city living. A semi-detached home on a verdant, tree lined street a mere block to Wisconsin Avenue, the townhome was originally constructed at the turn of the 20th century. Continual improvements and additions over the years have expanded the home to a spacious 4,876 finished square feet of state-of-the-art design, top-of-the-line finishes, and painstaking workmanship while retaining the classic Georgetown ethos. The cream colored facade sets an elegant tone, accented by arched windows and impeccable detailing. Inside, the tone is mirrored by a dignified reception foyer housing the grand staircase. Adjacent is the open concept formal living and dining room. Exquisite millwork and dual roaring fireplaces accent the space, spanning a full 31 feet in depth yet still flooded with natural light from both ends. A formal powder room and dual coat closets bisect the transition between formal and informal spaces. Central to the latter is the well-appointed chef’s kitchen, featuring furniture-grade glass inset cabinetry, granite countertops, and a comprehensive suite of built-in commercial grade appliances including an industrial strength range. A stunning double-height gallery leads to the great room, where a spectacular wall of intricately arched windows allows copious amounts of natural light and wooded views glimmering off of the chandelier. Twin arched glass doors lead to the rear terrace – a true sanctuary in a central urban location. A combination of lush landscaping and extensive hardscaping, the walled and hedge-lined flagstone patio enables seamless lounging, dining, and entertaining al fresco shrouded in total tranquil privacy. At the top of the stair landing is an upper level reading nook, complete with built-in bookcases and a fireplace, overlooking the gallery and great room below. A convenient laundry room is nearby. The remainder of the second level is dedicated to the primary suite, spanning the entire width of the home and overlooking 31st Street below via triple windows. A private fireplace, deep gallery style walk-in closet, and fabulous bath with exquisite millwork, steam shower, and cast iron tub complete the retreat. On the top level are two additional bedrooms, each generously proportioned and featuring private fireplaces, as well as a shared hall bath. Entering the lower level, the staircase descends into a walk-through wine cellar, framed on both sides by stylish custom shelving. An additional bedroom suite with walk-in closet greatly enhances the home’s multigenerational flexibility. Opposite the wine cellar are a thoughtfully placed wet bar, second laundry room, and dedicated storage room in addition to a hall of closets. A large walk out recreation room at the rear completes the lower level. With its blend of striking in design, abundant in space, and sumptuous in finishes, 1409 31st Street NW represents the very peak of both Georgetown and amenity-rich city living in one of the country’s most sought-after locations.
