This week's Best New Listings includes a Charles Goodman classic, a colorful row house and the former Georgetown home of Alexander Graham Bell.
A Rowhome Fit for an Inventor
Previously owned by Alexander Graham Bell, this one-bedroom townhome in Georgetown inspired the children's book, The People of Pineapple Place. Beyond its position on the historic Georgetown registry, UrbanTurf appreciates this listing for its inclusion of modern amenities, exposed wooden beams and aged brick walls. A gas fireplace helps to create a welcoming environment in the living area, and at the back of the living room, tall glass doors lead to an enclosed stone patio. The upstairs bathroom includes a waterfall shower, a smart toilet, heated tile floors and a soaking tub. Remote-controlled skylights allow new owners to sleep in or bask in the sun.
