...Historic Elegance in Georgetown’s East Village: Unit 32 at The Downing and Vaux

A rare opportunity to own a piece of Washington’s history at The Downing and Vaux, a magnificent Italianate villa in the heart of Georgetown’s East Village. Originally built in 1853 by shipping magnate Francis Dodge, this architectural masterpiece was designed by the renowned architects Downing and Vaux. Once serving as the governor’s mansion for Henry D. Cooke, the residence has hosted the elite of the 19th century, including President Ulysses S. Grant. While the building was converted into apartments in 1924, the units within the main house remain distinct, preserving the original grandeur of the lobby and exterior.

A Light-Filled Sanctuary: This top-floor residence is easily accessible via an elevator from the lobby and offers 3,168 square feet of radiant living space. Every room is bathed in natural light from multiple exposures and complemented by numerous skylights. The main level features a gracious entry hall, a renovated chef’s kitchen with premium stainless appliances and an island, as well as a spacious eat-in breakfast or family area. The versatile layout includes a formal living room and a library—both featuring wood-burning fireplaces—and a dining room that could easily serve as an additional bedroom with an en suite bath.

Versatile Living and Outdoor Splendor: Step outside onto the long, fabulous balcony overlooking 30th Street to enjoy treetop views and open sky. The upper level is currently configured as a massive primary suite, complete with a dressing room, walk-in closet, and a large open sitting area. This floor offers further potential for customization, with space to add a bathroom to create a fourth bedroom.

Modern Comfort in a Timeless Setting: The home includes three full bathrooms, a dedicated laundry room and ample storage. Unique to this building, unit 32 comes with a separately deeded and onsite parking space, providing rare convenience in Georgetown.
