An Iconic Georgetown Estate of Distinction and Grandeur Step into the storied past and indulge in the refined present with this extraordinary Georgian estate at 3210 R St NW. This residence, once home to Washingtonâs distinguished, from yachtsman and philanthropist Walter S. Gubelmann to Corneliu...s Vanderbilt Whitney, founder of Pan Am and arts patron, embodies Georgetownâs legacy of social and cultural prominence. Joined by the influential Assistant Secretary of State Chandler Hale and the eminent Supreme Court Justice Abe Fortas, each custodian has imparted a unique chapter to this exceptional property. Now, this magnificent home offers an unparalleled lifestyle in the heart of historic Georgetown. Constructed in 1941 and spanning a meticulously landscaped 12,749 SF lot, the estate unfolds across four opulent levels. A sweeping circular driveway and timeless Federal-style facade set a grand scene as you enter the foyer, where an elegant black-and-white harlequin floor extends a classic welcome. This residence is a study in architectural refinement, with each of the 5 bedrooms and 7 baths graced by impeccable finishes, soaring ceilings, and abundant natural light. The main level, designed for both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining, features one of the homeâs four neo-classical fireplaces in the foyer. Flowing seamlessly from the main entrance, a sunroom, dining room, and breakfast room are complemented by a chefâs kitchen, complete with honed marble counters, double Miele dishwashers, and a Wolfe 6-burner rangeâa true culinary haven enriched by a butlerâs pantry and cocktail bar. Ascending the custom circular staircase guests are welcomed into the expansive great room with its terrace views and carefully selected millwork. The adjacent library, adorned with French doors and a second fireplace, offers an inviting retreat for bibliophiles and art collectors alike. Two additional bedrooms on this level, each with en-suite baths, provide gracious accommodations. The penthouse level hosts Georgetownâs largest primary suite, a sanctuary illuminated by a generous skylight and windows on both sides. A sitting area with a fireplace, two substantial walk-in closets (including a 29-foot closet with custom fixtures), and dual spa-like baths elevate this suite into a personal retreat. A unique, full-service salon adds an exclusive touch, perfect for unwinding in luxury. The lower level offers versatility with an additional bedroom, living space, bath, and a secondary kitchen. The sprawling south-facing garden is Georgetownâs hidden gem, featuring a 20x40 heated, saltwater pool bordered by stone pathways and curated gardens, providing a sanctuary amidst lush plantings of Japanese maple, crepe myrtle, and more. Multiple terraces and entertaining spaces complete this rare outdoor experience, making it an exceptional oasis for year-round enjoyment. Beyond its stately beauty and unparalleled location, this estate offers a unique link to Washingtonâs heritage, preserving an atmosphere of grace and elegance. With a two-car garage, elevator, and sophisticated landscaping, this remarkable property on one of Georgetownâs most desirable streets is not only a residence but a legacyâwhere history, beauty, and modern luxury unite.
