About This Home

As of May 2022

Bring your architect and your imagination and envision the possibilities for this historic home. The Yellow Tavern (later known as the White House Inn): Traveling in the 1700's, as described by 18th century English actor John Bernard, " A mile's ride was about the most powerful experiment on one's anatomy a man can desire." Unpaved streets proved impassable after a rainstorm and 'the Yellow Tavern was the most gracious respite from the difficulties of travel.' Built in 1788, it was originally two buildings that were joined much later. Normally guests in taverns shared beds with strangers, the 'privy' was outside, meals were unreliable and bathing was done only during holidays. Here, the living was of a higher quality in order to attract the likes of Thomas Jefferson. When George Towne was a leading port, the tavern was a favorite stopping place for travelers and tobacco merchants from 'Frederick Town' as well as a popular meeting place of Thomas Jefferson and other notables. Here Mayor John Cox entertained General Lafayette; dinner of reed birds followed by dancing to music from the balcony. TRUE? Unlikely, but in the early 1900's a previous owner wanted to enhance the value of her home and had a plaque erected outside the house memorializing the story and the legend was born.
On the market now for the first time in almost 1/2 century, come explore the history and unlimited possibilities of this special property in the heart of Georgetown on almost 1/4 acre including a pool and several off street parking spaces. The house features a large center hall with views to the back gardens, large living room with two fireplaces (one gas), small office located off the living room, powder room off the main foyer, banquet sized dining room with fireplace and 3 french doors overlooking the grounds, family room with built-ins and relaxing views of the gardens and patio. Eat-in kitchen with washer/dryer, access to the basement and back staircase to the 2nd floor. The upper level includes a family room with cathedral ceilings and four bedrooms with four bathrooms including the primary bedroom with a sitting room overlooking the gardens. The second floor has original random width wood floors and steps to an attic for additional storage. The property fronts on 33rd Street with driveway and several parking spots off Volta Place with access to the house from a gate along the driveway.
