A Month For Six Bedrooms in Georgetown

The home was on the market for about a month before going under contract, which is a fairly short time for a home with this price tag. The main floor includes an open-concept kitchen with a second sink and wine fridge and an attached living room that opens to the back deck through double French doors. The primary bedroom on the second level includes its own sitting room and an en-suite bathroom with a double vanity sink and soaking tub. A kitchenette can be found downstairs, along with two other bedrooms and a living room. The backyard is permitted for a pool.
