LOCATION: Raised one level about the street, this clapboard Federal is light-filled with an exquisite and multitiered patio and mature garden designed by acclaimed landscaper James van Sweden, a lovely verdant retreat from city life. Ideally located in Georgetown’s East Village just minutes away from Rose Park and Montrose Park, perfectly accessible to all of Georgetown’s shops and restaurants, and close to Maryland, Virginia and other downtown destinations.

RESIDENCE: This gorgeous and light-filled Federal, with three bedrooms and three baths, was built in 1900 and has been elegantly maintained by the current owner to exacting standards. 2821 N has beautifully restored hardwood floors and mouldings, glass and lighted built-in cabinets, and many windows flooding the house in light. The raised entrance keeps the frontfacing Living Room as private as any in Georgetown.
