Located on one of Georgetown's most iconic East Village blocks, surrounded by some of the neighborhood's most distinguished historic homes, this circa 1845 Federal residence blends classic architecture, exceptional scale, and thoughtful updates across four levels of light-filled living space, complete with a rare 1-Car Garage, just moments from Georgetown's cafes, shops, and waterfront. Expanded in 1890, the home carries a quiet but meaningful history. An early restoration by a young Archie and Selwa "Lucky" Roosevelt in the 1950s helped define the home's enduring character and extraordinary sense of light and openness, most notably through the addition of an expanse of windows that frame the deep garden and bring "the outside in," creating a seamless connection between interior living spaces and surrounding greenery. Behind its elegant facade, the home unfolds with generous proportions, soaring ceilings, four fireplaces, and refined period details including large-paned windows and original millwork. The main level is anchored by gracious living and entertaining spaces, including a handsome library with wood-burning fireplace, marble-floored foyer, light-filled dining room, and a fully renovated chef's kitchen with premium appliances. The kitchen opens to a sun-filled breakfast room with windows on three sides and French doors leading to a private landscaped garden and patio, an ideal extension of the living space, effectively bringing the "outside in," as its design intended. The garage offers main level access as well through the butler's pantry into the kitchen. The upper levels continue the home's balance of scale with comfort, featuring a grand double parlor with a sun room and wet-bar, perfect for entertaining, a serene primary suite with skylit bath, and flexible additional bedrooms and study spaces. Thoughtful improvements enhance everyday living, including upgraded baths, a dedicated upstairs laundry, a private second-floor patio, and a reconfigured top floor with expanded dormer and open views. Outdoors, the deep landscaped garden offers rare privacy and calm in the center of the city, an escape that feels far removed from its central Georgetown location. Modern systems, including supplemental HVAC, integrated speakers, security, and solar panels, support effortless living. This is a home defined by light, classic architecture, and an extraordinary garden connection, an elegant and deeply livable retreat with its own attached garage in the heart of one of Washington's most coveted neighborhoods. Don't miss this hidden gem in the heart of Georgetown!
