About This Home

This famous Georgetown house is rich with historic significance and prominently positioned on P Street in the heart of the East Village. Originally built in 1871 by a Civil War veteran, this remarkable residence has been featured on the Georgetown House Tour and showcased on CBS News. Today, it remains one of the neighborhood’s most charming and memorable houses — a rare blend of historic authenticity, warmth, and intelligent modern updates. Beyond its handsome façade, the house retains many of its original architectural details, including beautiful wood floors, high ceilings, a working wood-burning fireplace, and original windows that fill the interior with natural light throughout the day. Located in Georgetown’s quiet and highly desirable East Village, 2726 P Street offers exceptional convenience to neighborhood restaurants, shops, parks, and downtown Washington, while retaining the intimacy and charm that define historic Georgetown living. The main level offers a gracious entry hall with a coat closet — an element surprisingly absent from many larger Georgetown houses — and leading to an expansive living room with southern light and exceptional versatility with newly redone floors on the whole level. On the terrace level below, a beautifully renovated gourmet kitchen features custom cabinetry, natural stone counters, stainless steel appliances, exposed beams, and generous space for dining. French doors open directly to the deep, south-facing French garden, creating an extraordinary indoor-outdoor connection rarely found at this scale. Wide gates open to Poplar Street, offering potential future flexibility for access or parking considerations. Upstairs, the entire second floor functions as a private bedroom suite with beautiful original floors, excellent light, a skylit Bejmat Zellige tile bath, dressing area, home office space, and a washer and dryer. The current owners have completed substantial upgrades, including mini split air conditioning throughout and a new roof, allowing the house to live comfortably while preserving its historic character.
