About the Listing TAYL1 - 81695

This Historic Foggy Bottom architectural gem, west-facing twin semi-detached with private parking boasts a million-dollar view of the iconic Watergate. The private terraced garden, rich historic details, and thoughtful upgrades deliver timeless character and modern comforts with no condo or HOA fees. •Built in 1889 by renowned builder Peter McCartney, the home’s handsome brick facade, framed by an ornate cornice and refined woodwork, sets the stage. Inside, the original floor plan remains intact, highlighted by an authentic wood-burning fireplace with hand-carved mantle, graceful living spaces, tasteful updates, and preserving that 19th-century Washington craftsmanship. •The luxury kitchen blends elegance and function, featuring a Sub-Zero refrigerator, 6-burner dual fuel Wolf range, Miele dishwasher, Blomberg laundry, marble countertops and backsplash, and excellent storage. •Abundant natural light fills the space, while a 9-foot pocket door allows the dining area to transform into an intimate, separate room. •A bricked arched passageway opens into a private terraced garden with sweeping vista views of classic, if not infamous, Washington architecture. Dedicated parking space is creatively transformed with a mural by Swiss artist Daniel Zeltner, infusing the property with vibrant, contemporary artistry. •Recent updates—completed since 2021—include new windows, a fully renovated bathroom, and HVAC, ensuring everyday comfort while preserving historic character. •The location elevates the lifestyle as much as the view in one of the most walkable neighborhoods in DC. Just blocks from the Kennedy Center, George Washington University, the State Department, Georgetown, and West End, you’ll find dining, culture, and world-class institutions moments from your front door. Everyday essentials like Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods are three blocks away, while Rock Creek Parkway and I-66 provide easy weekend escapes. The famous Francis Pool is four blocks away, and the soon-to-open Green’s Court Park—with dog park and children’s playground—will be right on the same block. This home is the epitome of urban living at its finest--cozy and connected. •For commuters, travelers, and guests, the Foggy Bottom–GWU Metro (Orange, Blue, Silver lines) is two blocks away, offering direct service to Reagan National, Dulles International, the National Mall, and beyond. This is more than a home—it is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Washington’s history, enjoy a daily million-dollar view of the Watergate, and live a lifestyle of culture, distinction, and stylistic ease for under a million. •Square footage based on Third Party ANSI calculation.
