Update: The price has dropped to $1.795 million on this house.

Georgetown townhouses have the reputation of having stodgy interiors that haven't been updated since the 1950s. But that is not that case with 1510 26th Street NW.

As soon as you walk into this three-bedroom double-wide townhome in the East Village, it becomes clear that the house is a different breed from its neighbors. The expansive main level has a gourmet kitchen, a study and a modern living room that opens to perhaps the home's best feature: a terraced garden that is about twice as deep as the home itself.

The outdoor area provides the perfect place to entertain, and is one of only two dozen gardens of this size in all of Georgetown, according to a gardener who has been working in the area for 30 years. It has a seating area that leads to a pond and a stretch of lawn that is surrounded by a pebble walkway.

All three bedrooms are on the second level, including a very spacious master bedroom that has a separate sitting area and French doors that lead out to a balcony that overlooks the garden. The second bedroom is currently set up as an office, but is also large and has two windows that provide a good deal of natural light.

The home is located on a quiet block of 26th Street and is just a 10-minute walk to Dupont Circle and a 15-minute walk to the intersection of Wisconsin Avenue and M Street.
