This elegant Georgetown townhouse combines historic character with sophisticated modern design. Once the residence of acclaimed designer Frank Babb Randolph, the home retains his signature aesthetic, further refined and updated with additional improvements.
Discreetly set back from the street, the generous front garden with its granite cobblestones is a graceful entry into this magnificent residence. The formal marble foyer sets the tone for the home's luxurious interiors. A powder room is located just off the hall, which leads to a spacious family and media room on the lower level. This room opens directly to a beautifully landscaped brick terrace, surrounded by mature plantings and blossoming trees, providing an idyllic setting for outdoor entertaining and relaxed daily living.
Upstairs, the second floor has been reimagined by architect Christian Zapatka to create an open, flowing layout with impressive proportions. The formal living room features soaring 13-foot ceilings, a fireplace framed by decorative alcoves, crown molding, and French doors that overlook the garden, filling the space with natural light. The adjacent kitchen, custom-designed by Jennifer Gilmer, is both sophisticated and highly functional, with handcrafted cabinetry, a large island with a Shaws farmhouse sink, Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, and a Thermador double oven. An expansive dining area flows seamlessly from the kitchen, perfectly suited for entertaining.
The third floor features a luxurious primary suite with lime-washed detail and views of the Washington Monument. It includes a generously sized walk-in closet and a recently completed Jennifer Gilmer spa-inspired bathroom with a dual vanity, custom lighting, ample cabinetry, and a multi-function frameless glass shower. Two additional guest bedrooms and a well-appointed hall bath complete the upper level.
With meticulously crafted interiors, exceptional architectural updates, and a sought-after location, this residence presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Georgetown's design legacy. A private garage adds convenience, while the home's prime location, closely located to Georgetown's renowned shopping, dining and parks, offers a desired balance of serene living and vibrant city access.
