3316 N Street NW

Description

Nestled on one of the most sought-after blocks in Georgetown’s West Village, 3316 N Street NW is a classic flat-front Federal residence that captures the essence of historic Georgetown living: grand in proportion, rich in history, and defined by timeless architectural detail. Featuring 5 Bedrooms, 4.5 Baths, and 7 Fireplaces throughout, complete with 1-Car Rear Parking. Thoughtfully updated to turnkey perfection, the home preserves its original character while seamlessly incorporating modern comforts. Believed to date to circa 1817–1818, the residence reflects a storied lineage tied to early Georgetown families, including John Cox, William Wilson Corcoran, and the Marbury family of Marbury v. Madison fame. Its architectural evolution is evident in the seamless layering of its Federal origins with a later Victorian addition, all carefully preserved and enhanced over time. From the tree-shaded block of N Street, the home is introduced by a sweeping staircase with a classic wrought iron railing. Inside, the main level is defined by original floors, high ceilings, and beautiful natural light from both northern and southern exposures. A gracious vestibule and foyer open to formal living and dining rooms, divided by original bi-fold doors and anchored by twin hand-carved French fireplaces, with Baccarat chandeliers adding a refined touch. A discreet powder room completes this level. The renovated kitchen blends modern function with historic charm, featuring its own fireplace, a Wolf six-burner range, and Miele appliances. It connects to a side entrance that opens directly to a private rear patio surrounded by a mature garden. The rear gate provides access to secure one-car parking beyond, ideal for effortless daily living. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a striking fireplace with a hand-carved French mantel, twin closets, and a light-filled bath with a walk-in shower. A guest room or den showcases a Federal mantel and antique fire-back, while a third bedroom in the Victorian addition enjoys southwest light, a fireplace, and built-ins. The top floor provides flexible bonus space, featuring dormer windows with both northern and southern exposures, and a full bath with a shower/tub. Enjoying its own front street entrance, and rarely situated above grade, the lower level is something special, featuring exposed beams, custom millwork, fireplace, and built-ins all highlighted by professional lighting. The space is perfect for a library or study, completing the level you will find wine storage, laundry, and space for a gym or the perfect guest suite with its own rear entrance! Complete with rear parking with direct access, this is a truly exceptional Georgetown offering on one of the neighborhood's best blocks!
