Property Description
Over the last 300 years this house has served a succession of Georgetown families and has always been known as “The Yellow House.” It is easy to see why so many have called this house home for hundreds of years, with each generation contributing meaningful updates that reflect the spirit of their time, every family has left its distinct mark, enhancing the house while preserving its charm for the next owners.
The ground floor of this exceptional house is a true standout, offering impressive size, well-balanced proportions, and abundant natural light. The living room is truly noteworthy with its generous scale and abundant light. As a detached home, this room enjoys multiple exposures, maximizing natural light throughout the day. Anchored by a wood-burning fireplace framed by a period mantel, the room is further brightened by three oversized, east-facing windows that flood the space with morning sunlight. The living room flows seamlessly into a spacious library, which boasts its own wood-burning fireplace with an original mantel. Nearby, the charming dining room, with French doors opening to the terrace and garden, provides an inviting setting for entertaining, both indoor and out. The expansive eat-in kitchen is a timeless classic designed to meet the needs of the modern cook. It features a commercial-grade Wolf range with a grill and a powerful commercial hood as well as other cook-friendly features like a warming drawer, a pot-filler faucet, and a hot water dispenser. Another set of elegant French doors connects the kitchen to the terrace, creating a smooth flow between indoor and outdoor living spaces. Adjacent to the kitchen, a cozy family room is enriched by a century-old Palladian window. The home also includes the convenience of a large powder room and coat closet on the main level, along with an elevator for easy access to all floors, ensuring both comfort and accessibility throughout.
The second floor is just as remarkable as the first. The primary bedroom, located in the northeast corner, offers stunning views of Georgetown and open skies. A working fireplace adds warmth and charm to this already impressive retreat. The crown jewel is the colossal modern marble bath, an oasis of luxury that boasts two expansive vanities, a shower with multiple body spray nozzles, a grand soaking tub, and a private commode room. Off the bath, a massive double walk-in closet provides ample space. This floor also includes two additional spacious bedrooms, each with its own full bath, and a convenient upstairs laundry room, perfectly blending comfort and practicality.
Up the stairs to the third level the staircase splits in two directions—one leading east, the other west—creating distinct, private spaces. The eastern bedroom exudes charm, featuring dormer windows and an ensuite half bath that could easily be expanded into a full. A delightful touch of history remains, as Dr. Appleby’s son, whose family lived here for many years, carved his name into one of the dormers. The western bedroom is a light-filled suite, full of character and history. Once serving as the map room of World War II General Jacob “Jake” Devers. This spacious suite features two walk-in closets, large windows with dual exposures, its own private bathroom, and climate control. It’s a perfect blend of historical significance and modern comfort.
The full-sized basement has ample storage, a second laundry area, another powder room, and direct access to the convenient two-car parking. The exterior is equally impressive. The front yard enclosed by an antique wrought iron fence adds both privacy and curb appeal. The side yard and terrace provide a secluded space with easy access from the dining room and kitchen—ideal for entertaining. The terrace features mature plantings, a brick-paved courtyard, and a stylish arbor. At the rear, a private alley leads to a secure door opening to P Street, ensuring both convenience and privacy.
