Every inch of this glorious residence has been gifted with extraordinary attention. Acclaimed architect, Christian Zapatka, created this exquisite gem, and the owners have enhanced their home even more with today’s technology and details that continue to perfect the beauty and comfort of enjoying life in Georgetown. From excavating the interior and rear exterior delivering an open and bright space for entertaining and family life to providing the latest in electronic wonders like a roof top cell tower, it is hard to imagine what else one would need. The balancing between protecting the integrity of its 200-year heritage while providing for modern conveniences, this residence surpasses the test. The main level speaks elegance with its unique architectural details journeying from living room to the dining room. These two areas are enriched with marble-surround fireplaces and unbelievable sunlight. The library/office and ensuite powder room echo the stunning blue from the home’s exterior as do the mirrored bookshelves on one of the four built-in bookcases. The classic original Federal staircase leads to two ensuite bedrooms, both designed as their own private sanctuaries. Light floods into these suites, and closets and storage abound. The bathrooms have been designed to be timeless and stylish with all fixtures and tiles from Waterworks. A wrought iron balcony provides a view of the back gardens. Descending the side staircase, the island countertop catches the eye and says this kitchen is unforgettable. A gourmet chef would be jealous of the spacious cooking area, and the kitchen overflows with incredible storage. The dining area easily serves for both family gatherings and more formal affairs. The open lower level continues to the family room with its clever multi-purpose paneling and two walls of floor-to-ceiling windows and doors that provide entrance to and views of a sumptuous and spacious perennial garden which connects to the parking area. The third bedroom can easily be an office with its built-in desk and cabinets. The adjacent bathroom with greyish-blue and white Waterworks tiles is easily accessible to guests as well. Just as impressive as the property itself, its location on one of Georgetown’s prettiest and friendliest blocks, along with its proximity to restaurants, shopping, and parks, creates an enviable setting for this royal sapphire jewel.
