(OPEN SUN. 6/15 1-3 PM) Welcome to 1220 28th Street NW, a striking marriage of heritage and modern sophistication in the heart of Georgetown’s East Village. Tucked away just steps from M St and Rose Park, this iconic red-doored Federal-style residence has been completely reimagined to meet the demands of discerning 21st-century living, without sacrificing an ounce of its storied soul. Originally built in the 1800s, the home carries the kind of historical pedigree rarely found outside the walls of Washington’s most treasured institutions. Once home to a family whose lineage intersects with American presidential legacy, 1220 28th embodies prestige and permanence — all with the comfort, ease, and efficiency of a brand-new build. Inside, the 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath layout has been thoughtfully opened and elevated, introducing a fluid floor plan that maximizes light, flow, and functionality. The main level stuns with new hardwood floors, an elegant new powder room, and a showpiece chef’s kitchen outfitted with top-tier appliances such as Fisher & Paykel, a dual-drawer dishwasher, quartz countertops, designer lighting, and custom cabinetry. A preserved wood-burning stove adds charm and warmth — an intentional nod to the home’s historic character. From the living area, French doors invite you to a serene bluestone patio — newly hardscaped and perfect for hosting under string lights or savoring a quiet moment away from the city’s buzz. Upstairs, natural light floods each room, including the tranquil primary suite, a secondary bedroom with a private en-suite bath, and a versatile third bedroom ideal as an office, nursery, or guest suite. Every bathroom has been beautifully reimagined with timeless finishes, and the bonus finished attic offers a rare flex space bathed in skylight — ideal for creative pursuits or storage. Mechanical updates include new HVAC, updated roof, electrical upgrades, and premium finish work throughout, offering the feel of new construction within the historic walls of a legacy home. Located just moments from Rose Park, M Street’s celebrated boutiques and cafés, and the Georgetown Waterfront, this home offers the best of D.C. living — refined, walkable, and effortlessly connected to the city’s cultural and political heartbeat. With a walk score of 97 and perfectly positioned to take advantage of its proximity to the West End, Dupont Circle, and Foggy Bottom, this is truly the perfect place to call home.
