Tucked onto what may be the sweetest block in Georgetown, 1510 26th Street is a rare DETACHED residence in the heart of the coveted East Village, just steps from Rose Park on a quiet, tree-lined street with the old-world charm of a European street. Behind its painted brick facade, with… Read More ornate corbelled cornice, black shutters & classic pedimented entry, this three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home sits on a generous 3,500+ square foot lot, offering a sense of space, privacy & calm that is increasingly hard to find in Georgetown. A gracious entry hall with arched details sets the tone, and a jewel-box powder room dressed in toile wallpaper & brass sconces makes a memorable first impression. Throughout the home, refinished hardwood floors & plantation shutters on the windows pair with abundant natural light. At the front of the home, a built-in banquette dining area is pure charm, with a statement wallpapered ceiling & designer brass chandelier. It flows seamlessly into the kitchen, where a marble-topped island in soft sage anchors the space. A BlueStar range with hood, Viking refrigerator & unlacquered brass fixtures & pendant lighting create a look that is both timeless & highly functional, while ample cabinetry, a full pantry & thoughtfully designed storage keep everything beautifully organized. Beyond, the living room is a serene, light-filled retreat with a wood-burning fireplace. A sweeping arched opening leads to the family room at the rear of the home, where custom built-in bookshelves & a dramatic botanical mural frame French doors opening directly to the garden. A Sonos system throughout the first floor makes entertaining effortless. The garden is a true retreat. A circular stone patio & pond with waterfall & water lilies open onto a formal lawn bordered by manicured hedges, mature professional landscaping & a majestic magnolia, creating a lush, deeply private escape with room to dine, entertain, garden & simply unwind. For those who dream bigger, pool plans convey with the home, offering a starting point for exploring a pool. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true sanctuary spanning the rear of the home. The generously sized bedroom is wrapped in rich custom paint & softened by elegant drapery, setting a calm, enveloping mood that feels miles from the city. French doors open to a Juliet balcony overlooking your private garden, so on a cool evening you can throw them open & drift off to a fresh breeze & the sound of the waterfall below. A walk-in closet with custom Elfa shelving & an en-suite bath with double vanity & stone-clad shower complete the retreat. The secondary bedrooms are every bit as special. One is a showstopper, wrapped in a dramatic botanical mural wallpaper with deep blue painted moulding, a brass chandelier & walls of windows that bathe the room in light. The third bedroom is equally bright & serene, framed by plantation shutters & leafy treetop views. A full hall bath with soaking tub, polished nickel fixtures & stone vanity, along with convenient upper-level laundry, completes the level, while the unfinished lower level provides substantial storage & flexibility. Then there is the setting. Rose Park is just steps away, with its tennis & basketball courts, playgrounds, open lawns & seasonal farmers market. Stroll a few blocks to the shops & restaurants of M Street & Wisconsin Avenue, the boutiques & galleries of Book Hill & the Georgetown Waterfront along the Potomac. The trails of Rock Creek Park are moments away, Dumbarton Oaks & Montrose Park are a pleasant walk up the hill, and Dupont Circle is just across the P Street Bridge. A detached home, a remarkable garden & one of the East Village's most charming blocks: this is Georgetown living at its most distinctive. Ask listing agent about parking options. Read Less
