The flier says:

“One of Georgetown’s most unique properties, “The Stables”, TWO mid-19th century carriage houses (can be combined) w/ amazing details & myriad possibilities. 1316 is 3 bd/2.5 ba, 1318 is 2 bd/2.5 baths. Both are recently renovated & possess cathedral ceilings, leaded glass windows, h’wood floors, 3 fireplaces, abundant sunlight & lovely yard with koi pond. Separately deeded prkg avail. Sold As Is.”

Sweet! I’ve featured this house numerous times. It’s def. pretty unique. I had no idea it was two carriage houses. Unfortunately the tour is not furnished but it’s still awesome to get a look inside. It’s yours for $2,499,000.

Love it – though it needs some work.
I’m buying a lottery ticket and crossing my fingers.

I have always loved the garden at this place.

House aside “most unique” drives me nuts. Unique means unique, there is no gradation.

OK, grammar Nazi will go away now.

  One could say that there are a number of things that can make a house unique. If a house possesses the most of these unique attributes of any of the other houses, it is the most unique.

Phew. $1.01 more, and it would have exceeded my budget.

  Oops. Meant $1000.01… I thought they had priced it at 2,499,999. Actually, I wish they had priced it at $2,499,999.99 just for snark.

Loved this place — the stables layout and concept — walked by often when I was a student at Georgetown. Vaguely have some recollection of being inside — but it was not yet renovated like this back then!

I love this house! Every time I drive by it, I wonder what it looks like inside. Happy to finally get a glimpse.

This doesn’t have anything with this house, but have houses in Georgetown seen a decline in pricing over the past five or six years? One would think that with other places in DC coming into their own-compition would drive prices in georgetown down?

  Without having any concrete data off-hand, I’d say no. Mostly for the fact that the pool of buyers is not static in DC – with more neighborhoods becoming desirable you also have more people wanting to move into the city to fill them. There’s a higher amount of people moving into high price neighborhoods – enough to keep Dupont, Georgetown, Logan Circle, etc all desirable.

    Agreed. With continued population growth in DC and few housing options, compared to most real estate markets around the country, pricing throughout the city has remained relatively stable…especially in the already established neighborhoods. Even with newer desirable options available in areas like Shaw, Capitol Hill, Bloomingdale and LeDroit Park; Georgetown has lost little value and the neighborhoods sited have only seen property values rise after the initial market fall.

It’s a cool property, and yes, it’s in Georgetown… but I look at something like this, and I can’t help but think how much more the same money would buy in other locations, while also having better access to pretty much everything/ every place except ‘Georgetown’. Is it really worth that much to be an extra mile away from the unwashed masses?

Part of me almost hopes I never get rich enough to find out.

Of course…The other part of me wants a six car garage and a hot tub.

Love it! Not sure if it is worth 2.4 but wow…can you say charming???

want. want. want.

perfect for having guests over. they can be relegated to their own house. and you both can do it without worrying they’ll hear.

I think it’s listed at a million or so more than it last sold for about twelve years ago — with no obvious improvements in the interim. It’s a fun property, but the kitchen is tiny, there’s no private outdoor space (you could change that, of course), and parking for only one small car around back.

As for general prices in Georgetown, over the past decade The Stables has appreciated much less than the Federal houses around the corner on N Street.
