Property Description
Welcome to this Georgetown original, just steps to Rose Park, shopping, and DC's finest restaurants. Step into history with this extraordinary one-bedroom residence, believed to be one of the oldest homes in Georgetown. Thought to have been built by a British sea captain, this 1,015-square-foot treasure blends irreplaceable historic character and warmth.
The cozy living room enchants with dark wood paneling, weathered hand-hewn ceiling beams, and an elegant brick fireplace complemented by antique pewterware. Original Belgian tiles, handmade glass windows, and wide-plank wood flooring speak to the craftsmanship of another era.
A thoughtfully designed addition brings the home into modern comfort, featuring a bright kitchen and sitting area bathed in natural light from three skylights and a glass door opening onto a private enclosed garden — a serene retreat in the heart of the city.
Between the open modern kitchen and main living room, modern kitchen, and powder room there is room for a personal office.
Upstairs, you'll find a generously sized single bedroom with built-in closets. This also features an ensuite bathroom and another space for a home office with a view of the rear garden area.
Offered as-is and partially furnished, the home includes wooden desks, rustic décor, pewter pieces, and a personal library belonging to its longtime resident, Ann Caracristi — cryptologist, World War II veteran, and the first woman to serve as Deputy Director of the NSA.
Featured on the Georgetown House Tour and celebrated in the press, this is a rare opportunity to own a genuine piece of American history.
