DC Estate of the Week: Georgetown's Halcyon House Up for Sale

Georgetown

It seems just like yesterday the Young and the Guest List party was hosted here by Washington Life Magazine @ the Halcyon House.
Unquestionably one of the most important private properties in Georgetown or the entire city, Halcyon House is sited on a dominant half-acre lot overlooking the Potomac River and the Key Bridge. It's price tag.....................$30 million.

This historically significant property was built circa 1787 by Benjamin Stoddert, first Secretary of the U.S. Navy and close confidante of George Washington. The 30,500 square feet dwelling underwent a seventeen-year restoration and is in pristine condition. In addition to the historic mansion this offering also includes five rental apartments and a seperate townhouse. Given its grand entertaining spaces and architectural splendor, this extraordinary property is well suited for either a private owner or for philanthropic institutional use, or a combination of the two. Halcyon House- a true Washington masterpiece! Get the full skinny HERE.
