'Book Hill' Georgetown House | Walkable, + Garage Sleeps 6 | House in Washington
3 Bedroom House in Georgetown, Washington
Summary:
Step into a piece of DC history. This 1912 Georgetown rowhome is tucked away on one of the neighborhood's most charming streets, filled with original art and beautifully decorated in a traditional, comfortable style. A short walk from the shops, cafes, and restaurants of M Street and Wisconsin Ave, yet so quiet you'd never know it. 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a private garden with a pond, and a rare detached garage.
The Space:
This three-story rowhome has all the warmth and character you'd expect from a 100-year-old Georgetown home. Original hardwood floors throughout, a wood-burning fireplace in the living room, and high ceilings that make the space feel even larger than its 1,600+ square feet. The home is the personal residence of a renowned artist and is filled with original, one-of-a-kind works throughout.
We can sleep up to 6 people in the following sleeping arrangements;
Primary bedroom: KING bed, sleeps 2 (private ensuite bathroom)
Second bedroom: QUEEN bed, sleeps 2
Third bedroom (lower level): 2 x TWIN beds, sleeps 2
All three bathrooms are full, so no one is waiting in line in the morning!
The kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher, and there's an in-unit washer and dryer, a genuine luxury for longer stays or families traveling with kids. A dedicated workspace makes this a solid option for anyone working remotely or catching up between meetings.
Out the back, the private garden is a genuine retreat. It's deeply shaded by mature trees, completely secluded, and centered around a small ornamental pond. The sound of the water makes it easy to forget you're in the middle of a city. Perfect for a morning coffee or winding down in the evening. Please note that the pond is unfenced, so families with young children should supervise them closely when in the garden. The detached garage is included, which in Georgetown is genuinely hard to come by.
Guest Access:
Guests have full and exclusive use of the entire home, including all three floors, the private garden, and the detached garage. The home is accessed via the front door on Reservoir Rd. Please note there are steps leading up to the home at the front, however you can also access via the garage at the rear of the home (easier for those with mobility issues). Full arrival information and instructions will be sent prior to check-in.
The Neighborhood:
Reservoir Rd sits on a quiet, tree-lined stretch above the main hustle and bustle of Georgetown. Close enough to walk to everything, far enough to sleep peacefully!
The street has a real neighborhood feel. From the front door, Georgetown University's main gate is a 10-minute walk, making this a favorite for families with students on campus or visiting for graduation weekend. The waterfront at Georgetown Waterfront Park is about 15 minutes on foot, and the shops and restaurants along M Street and Wisconsin Avenue are right there when you want them.
Some of our favorite neighborhood must sees;
- Farmers market at Georgetown's Hardy Middle School (Saturday mornings)
- Martin's Tavern, Chez Billy Sud and Yellow (amazing lunch spot), all within walking distance
- Book Hill antique shops and galleries along Wisconsin Ave
- Dumbarton Oaks estate and gardens, a 10-minute walk through the neighborhood
- Rock Creek Park (HUGE state park) less than half a mile away
For museum-goers and sightseers, the Georgetown to Downtown connection (see Getting Around) puts the National Mall, the Smithsonian, and the monuments well within reach.
Getting Around:
The garage fits one car, and the neighborhood is a pleasant walk to most Georgetown destinations. Many guests don't need a car at all once they arrive.
- The DC Circulator (Georgetown-Union Station route) stops on M Street, about a 12-minute walk downhill. This is the fastest and easiest way to connect to the Metro and downtown.
- Foggy Bottom Metro (Blue/Orange/Silver lines) is approximately 1.5 miles away and easily reached by Circulator, rideshare, or a 25-minute walk along the canal path.
- Dupont Circle Metro (Red Line) is about 2 miles and accessible by Circulator or rideshare.
- Multiple Metrobus routes run along Wisconsin Ave and M Street.
Other Things to Note:
- The home is on a residential street that is generally very quiet. Reservoir Rd is above the busier parts of Georgetown, so you're unlikely to hear bar noise or late-night traffic. - - Normal city sounds (birds, neighbors, the occasional siren) are present.
- There are stairs between all three floors. The home is not suitable for guests with significant mobility limitations.
- The garden is private but neighbors on either side may be audible in summer months, we ask that guests respect our quiet hours when using the garden from 10pm - 7am.
- The small garden pond is unfenced. Families with young children should supervise them closely outdoors.
- Parking in the detached garage accommodates one standard-size vehicle. Street parking on Reservoir Rd is residential permit parking. Guests should plan to use the garage or arrive without a car.
