This three-level 1802 town home is located in Georgetown's East End, right on the C&O canal. In 1890, with the annexation of Georgetown to Washington, D.C., the level of 30th Street was raised by eight feet,
putting level one below the street level at the front but leaving it at grade to the rear, facing the canal.
Level-1 access to the front is thus by a wide, wrought iron staircase, and access to the rear patio and garden is via glass, French doors;
effectively bringing the garden into the living/dining room in a bright, cheerful way.
As one enters from the street, there is an office niche on the right with built-in file cabinets, a book case, and granite desk top. That space, as well as the living room,
is wired for high speed computer access, telephone and cable TV.
To the left, as one enters, is a state of the art kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops
and tile floor. There is abundant recessed lighting, a nine foot ceiling, and a wide window looking outside.
From the front door one can look through the apartment all the way to the rear garden. To the left, past the kitchen, is
a marble bathroom with large, glassed in shower (no tub) and a laundry closet with washer and dryer.
Beyond the bathroom is a large, walk-in closet, and beyond that a spacious combination living/dining room with fireplace.
A high quality sleep sofa commands the living area and converts to a comfortable bed at night. The fireplace hosts an attractive
ventless gas burner which can be turned on and off in an instant, making for a truly useful and esthetic feature.
The apartment has central air conditioning, telephone, cable TV, high speed computer lines, a lovely patio and rear garden surrounded by a brick wall with a rear exit,
and most important, door-step access to the heart of Georgetown. All linens, kitchenware, etc. furnished.
