3070 Q St NW Washington, DC 20007

This elegant 1894 home, located on a lovely block in Georgetown’s desirable East Village, and steps from restaurants and retailers, has high ceilings and four levels with stylish architectural details, large windows, and wood floors serviced by an energy efficient radiant heating system. This is a house for formal dinners and afternoon teas or family gatherings and children’s birthday parties. There is plenty of storage in the kitchen and a wonderful view of a very special garden. The house has a storied history. Located on the site of the former Francis Dodge family mansion, 3070 Q was built in its place after the Dodge mansion was torn down in 1893. Francis Dodge was a shipping magnate and the richest man in Georgetown at the time of his death. The first occupant of the house was George Washington Ball, the great grandnephew of President George Washington and the great grandson of George Mason of Gunston Hall. His wife, Mary Beverley Randolph, was first cousin to Robert E. Lee and related to Thomas Jefferson. The house, the subject of renovations over the years, received new AC units in 2023, a new hot water tank in 2024, a new energy efficient Firestone TPO roof in 2025, a new copper balcony roof in 2025, a complete lower-level renovation in 2024, including new bathroom and kitchen, and new aluminum windowsills in 2025. There are five huge bedrooms, some of which can be used as offices or family rooms, five gas fireplaces, loads of storage space, a lower-level apartment/in-law suite, a secluded garden, and a sizeable deck off a sophisticated dining room – all of this is awaiting in the residence’s 3,365 square footage and 1,314 square-foot lot.
