About This Home

As of June 2021

It has been said that home is where the history is. But how often do we get the chance to share our home’s story with a former President? For the future owners of 4921 30th Place NW - once the residence of President Lyndon B. Johnson - every day is a chance to live against a backdrop of history infused with modern conveniences, while writing your own chapter of the story. Johnson, who would become the 36th President of the United States, bought the brick dwelling in the Forest Hills neighborhood of Northwest Washington for $18,000 back in 1943. It would be his family’s home for 18-year until he assumed the role of Vice President under JFK. Memories of the family’s time in the house reverberate off its walls: from the porch where they ate dinner and played cards to the backyard garden that facilitated Easter Egg hunts and swing set adventures. But the house, a picturesque Colonial nestled in Forest Hills, is primed for plenty of new memories to be made, too, thanks in large part to its location. Forest Hills, one of DC’s most prestigious neighborhoods, is the key to suburban tranquility—without leaving the city behind. Stroll the scenic streets just beyond your front doorstep, hike the trails of nearby Soapstone Valley Park, or sample the eclectic selection of eateries on Connecticut Avenue. A home where location and history collide, there is no place like 4921 30th Place NW. Welcome to 4921 30th Place NW., a stunning 5,459 sqft residence with 7 Bedrooms, 5 full-baths, 1 half-baths, 2 kitchens, 3 fireplaces, Elevator, Internal Sound-System, Media/Billiard Room, In-Law/Au-Pair/Rental suite, outdoor terrace, garage that can easily be converted to an art-studio, kids playhouse or gym, and a stunning yard in the exclusive neighborhood of Forest Hills, in Washington DC. Totally renovated in 2008 by its current owners and lovingly maintained, this gorgeous home is move-in ready and perfect for extraordinary living and formal entertaining alike. Tons of attention to details was put into this home from hand-made/glazed tiles by Susan Greenleaf to Jerusalem McIntyre Tile throughout. The residence boasts abundant natural light from every corner, and a generous flow throughout its four (4) levels. The Main Level has expansive two (2) living spaces, formal and non-formal, accented by gleaming hardwood floors, high-ceilings, and two (2) wood-burning fireplaces. The dining room can easily accommodate a table with seating for 12-guests or more. The large Chefs’ kitchen features granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, a comfortable space for casual eat-in dining with direct access to a large terrace overlooking the yard. In addition, the Main Level houses a powder-room, and an elevator to Upper Level 1 of the home and Lower Level too. Heading up to the Upper Level 1, you will find the Master Bedroom Suite like non-other, a stunning Master Bath, and walk-in closets. In addition, you will find a grand library with incredible flooring overlooking the yard and a gas-fireplace. To complete this level, you will find three (3) additional bedrooms and two (2) full baths. Heading up one more level, we arrive to Upper Level 2, where you will find two (2) more bedrooms and one (1) bath. From the Main Level and heading down one story, we arrive to the Lower Level that can be easily used as an In-Law/Au-pair suite or rented out for additional income with two (2) living spaces one of which is being used as a billiard room, one (1) bedroom, one (1) bath, full-kitchen, laundry/utility room and an outdoor patio. Minutes from the eclectic selection of eateries on Connecticut Avenue’s shopping and restaurants and a 15-minute walk to Van Ness Metro station. Murch/Deal/Wilson schools.
