Friday Dream House: A Grand Georgetown Victorian

We may love a sleek, modern design as much as the next person—but there’s something almost magical about a home like this Victorian on 30th Street in Georgetown. Built in 1868—back when Georgetown was still a part of Maryland—a more recent complete renovation added Brazilian hardwood floors and a contemporary glossy-white kitchen to the existing old-world architecture of this six-bedroom home. But our favorite part is the elegant double parlor room on the first floor, with its soaring ceilings, two fireplaces, and bevy of beautifully intricate architectural detail—including a graceful arched doorway, ornate moldings, and full-length paned windows. The property was listed on the market less than a month ago at $3.495 million, but recently went under contract. Get a glimpse of the home below, then go to Washington Fine Properties to see the complete tour.
