Real Estate Week: The Most Expensive House

This week GM is out of town, so he’s taken the opportunity to run through some of the homes on the market in Georgetown and flag some that catch his eye.

Yesterday GM took a look at the tiniest home on the market. Today he looks at the most expensive (and probably largest): 3400 Prospect. When you’re in this territory, though, an address alone doesn’t suffice. You need a name for your house, and in this case the name is Halcyon House.

Real Estate Week: The Tiniest House

This week, GM is off vacationing in the cool and beautiful Pacific northwest. But he’s not going to leave you completely in the cold (or sweltering heat, as the case may be). He took some time to find some of the more unusual or attractive homes on the market in Georgetown right now and will show them off this week. (While this probably would be a good way to make money, rest assured, GM isn’t getting paid for this.)

The first house that GM has loved since he first moved to Georgetown is 2726 P St. It is possibly the skinniest house in Georgetown, if not the city.

Next week, GM is heading out of town for a vacation. Not one to allow radio silence, GM prepared a series of posts to run in his absence next week. The focus will be on real estate. While doing some research, GM came across a list of the top five real estate bills in Georgetown, and he decided to share it.

So without further ado, here they are:

#5 – 2920 R St. – $86,514.70

This is the Beale-Washington House, which many Georgetowners simply call “Katharine Graham’s House”. Nowadays it’s owned by Mark Ein.

#4 – 1617 29th St. – $88,330.30

One block over from the Graham house, this is the huge house that was built by one of the founders of IBM. Continue reading
