...This crimson cottage in Georgetown is a historic gem, believed to have been built in the late 1700s or possibly the mid-18th century. Also known as the Little Red House, the home holds a special place in the neighborhood's history and has garnered attention from newspapers and even been featured on the Georgetown House Tour. The house is often described as the oldest, smallest, and most adorable home in town.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a cozy living room adorned with dark wood paneling and weathered wooden beams on the ceiling. Look carefully at the beam above the fireplace for the etched year 1721.The elegant brick fireplace is complemented by pewterware, adding to the charm of the space. Moving through the house, you'll find a study, a laundry room, and a half-bath that mark the end of the original structure.
An addition to the home includes a kitchen and sitting area, filled with natural light streaming in through three skylights and a large glass door that overlooks a private garden. The Belgian block floor in this space mirrors the original flooring in the study and parts of the living room. Ascending the winding wooden staircase, you'll discover the single bedroom tucked under the eaves, complete with a full bathroom and an office that overlooks the rear garden area.
The house is being sold "as-is" and comes partially furnished, with beautiful wooden desks, rustic decor, pewter pieces and a collection of books belonging to a former owner, a cryptologist during World War II and the first woman deputy director of the National Security Agency, who owned the house from 1950 to 2016.
The residence, located at 1222 28th Street NW, is situated in the historic Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C. With a floor area of 1,015 square feet, it is believed to be one of the oldest homes in the area. Some of its original features, including Belgian tiles in front of the hearth, wood paneling and flooring, and handmade glass windows, have been preserved over the years. The enclosed garden offers privacy for outdoor enjoyment. The side door in the kitchen area leads to an alley and gated exit to 28th Street.
1222 28th Street offers buyers seeking an extraordinary opportunity to make this historic property their own.
