For just under $10 million, you can get a completely renovated 18th century Georgetown home with a backyard parking pad that’s really a car elevator leading to an underground garage.
That is certainly an unusual feature for a house in Georgetown, let alone anywhere in the D.C. area, although the property’s place in history is now questioned.
The home, at 1524 33rd St. in Northwest, was originally built in 1788, and has undergone a top to bottom renovation by D.C.’s Cobra Properties, along with Dale Overmyer Architects and Martha Vicas Design.
It is listed by Robert Hryniewicki, Adam Rackliffe, Christopher Leary and Micah Smith of HRL Partners at Washington Fine Properties for $9.995 million.
The 6,950 square-foot, three level home has six bedrooms and six-and-a-half bathrooms.
The main level has 11-and-a-half-foot high ceilings and a gourmet kitchen with butler’s pantry.
There is a large patio terrace and private rear garden, being marketed as “pool ready.”
The car elevator isn’t the only elevator. A passenger elevator inside the home services all three floors.
The house also lost its place in history during renovations. It was originally granted landmark status as the former home of the Yellow Tavern, later named the White Horse Inn, which was thought to be a popular pit stop with travelers at the turn of the 18th century, including Thomas Jefferson.
After it was discovered the home was not in fact, the site of the White Horse Inn, the developer had the property de-landmarked with the D.C. government.
As part of the project, Cobra Properties also built two new townhomes on Volta Place that are listed for $4.995 million and $4.5 million.
