Description:

“It may come as a surprise particularly to Georgetown residents to learn there's enough land in their midst to construct [a] detached home and still have enough land left over for spacious gardens and play area for youngsters.” A bit of Old Williamsburg graces the East Village of Georgetown at the intersection of Avon Place and Avon Lane. One of only two homes built in the neighborhood by Lloyd Salyer of Williamsburg, VA. This traditional Colonial Williamsburg-style home marries the historic nature of the time with contemporary living. Dedicated to its pristine construction, Salyer utilized the most authentic of materials including brick from a concern in Pennsylvania, copper downspouts, special millwork, window, door trim and cornices, to name a few. Only 4 owners of record, each contributing thoughtful updates resulting in a 6-bedroom and 6-ensuite bathroom home with two half-baths on a compound comprising over a 1/3 of an acre. The home is masterfully positioned to maximize both privacy and natural light throughout the day. Just under 6,000 sqft of comfortable living spaces, high ceilings and boastful amounts of storage. Approximately 2,000 sqft of living space on each of the three levels. Large 2-car attached garage parking with a third auxiliary garage on the grounds. An unheard-of amount of acreage for the neighborhood, primed and ready for a pool, pool house or additional dwelling unit. Just 5-blocks from restaurants shopping and amenities from Georgetown’s M St. and a 1.3 mile walk along the vibrant Georgetown Waterfront (Potomac River) to the Kennedy Center, Watergate and more.
