Located directly across the street from the gardens of Tudor Place one will find views from the front rooms of the home are seasonally spectacular. From the moment you enter this elegant high ceilinged residence one can just imagine the array of prominent owners that graced its halls. Sited on a beautiful parcel of land that was originally part of 6 acres, then sold in 1802 by the second Mayor of Georgetown Thomas Beall (a direct descendant of George Washington) to the original owner, the residence has since been owned by several notable families and cabinet members. Once inside the home, the natural light and abundance of windows and french doors allow beautiful views from almost every room. The vestibule and grand foyer with wide staircase provide the centerpiece of the home, from which the expansive dining room (which seats 22) and formal double parlor living room balance each wing of the residence. The double parlor living room with fireplace and bar area open to a large library/sitting room with built-ins and corner windows. . The wideplank floors and graceful mouldings are a testament to the historically preserved architecture. The main hallway and dining room lead to a generously sized cooks kitchen with island and separate breakfast room, all graced with hand painted tiles. A back staircase allows for a second stairway up to the second story of the home. Off the main hallway one finds the coat closet, guest bathroom and a set of french doors leading to the flagstone terrace, brick patio, expansive garden, red brick poolhouse/guest house and landscaped gardens.

Two additional bedrooms and two additional baths complete this level of the home, and offer a small balcony off the hallway.
