3007 Q Street NW

Originally built in 1868, this magnificent residence situated on historic Cooke's Row in Georgetown offers a blend of old-world charm and modern elegance. As part of Henry J. Cooke's visionary project for his family, this home has a rich history, once serving as the residence of the first Governor of the District of Columbia. Over the years, it has retained its grandeur, while enjoying restorative updates throughout. A stately front exterior with original civil-war era details greets you as you make your way inside to the main level featuring beautiful hardwood floors, soaring 14-foot ceilings, and gracious living spaces. Three fireplaces with original mantels provide warmth and character to the large living room, dining room, and library with custom floor-to-ceiling bookcases. Bay windows provide an abundance of natural light. The updated eat-in kitchen with marble counters provides direct access to the rear deck, which overlooks the home's beautifully landscaped rear yard, made private by mature trees and an expanse of lawn. Up the three-story, free-floating spiral staircase, the second level includes a cozy family room, a large office, and two generously sized bedrooms with their own en-suite bath. On the top floor, along with a private guest suite and laundry room, the primary suite features a spacious and sunny dressing room and an en-suite bath with large soaking tub, dual vanities, and a double shower. The lower level offers additional living space with a fifth bedroom, full bathroom, wine cellar, large storage room with a second laundry area and a separate craftsman's work room. Complete with driveway parking, this home offers exceptional living in the heart of Georgetown.
