...Welcome to a truly remarkable piece of Georgetown’s rich history, nestled in the prestigious East Village. This gracious notable residence, which is protected by a historic easement, was designed by Reuben Daw and constructed circa 1843, stands as a testament to timeless elegance and sophistication. Once
the home of Dean Acheson, United States Secretary of State, this exquisite property offers an unparalleled blend of historic charm and elegance. The front facade to 2805 is enhanced by the original wrought iron fence, crafted from gun barrels from the War of 1812. Few properties in Georgetown can boast of this unique architectural feature.

Spanning an impressive 6,350 square feet, the home houses seven spacious bedrooms and seven and a half bathrooms. The grand interiors are flooded with natural light, featuring large rooms
perfect for entertaining or quiet reflection.

Upon entering, the Entry Hall guides your view to the Loggia with its elegant arches leading to expansive rooms. The study, complete with a wood-burning fireplace and built-in shelves, comfortably accommodates couches and chairs, creating an inviting retreat. The grand dining room, illuminated by a crystal chandelier, is perfect for hosting cozy intimate gatherings or large formal dinners. The formal living room is a magnificent space, featuring multiple seating options and a grand piano, ideal for musical gatherings. Its wood-burning fireplace and built-in shelves add to the room’s charm.

So come and enjoy the tranquil ambiance of the elegant side patio and garden, accessible through French doors from the loggia. The patio is a wonderful venue that has hosted festive weddings, family gatherings, and countless formal and informal parties/events. The rear garden features a refreshing lap pool, while the property also includes a convenient PARKING PAD FOR TWO VEHICLES. Culinary enthusiasts will appreciate the eat-in kitchen and butler’s pantry, while wine connoisseurs will delight in the two
temperature-controlled wine cellars, each accommodating around 1500 bottles.
