Description

Introducing the recently renovated Trentman House. This historic 4-story home preserves its original mid-century modern character while incorporating the latest conveniences and climate protection. The new chef’s kitchen is a culinary delight, equipped with Miele appliances and sleek white countertops. Bathrooms have been upgraded with elegant Spanish porcelain tiles and frameless glass enclosures, ensuring both style and comfort. Perfect for entertaining, the 2nd floor dining room flows through the living room and onto the landscaped private terrace oasis with pond and waterfall. The 3rd and 4th floors feature three spacious en-suite bedrooms. There are 2 additional fully updated powder rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors. The garage and an elevator offer an ease of living in this classic Georgetown neighborhood. The house features striking design elements, including two soaring cylinders that house the winding stairs, and expansive skylights that bathe the interior in natural light.

Climate-adaptive comfort systems were added during the renovation, including new custom-built windows with energy-efficient glass, window coverings, additional insulation throughout, and new ventilation to keep the house efficiently cooler in the summer months and warmer in the winter.

The Trentman House is an award-winning masterpiece designed by renowned Georgetown architect Hugh Newell Jacobsen. Built in 1969, this historic residence won the AIA Honor Award and was honored with Architectural Record’s #1 Award of Excellence for House Design, recognizing its significant contributions to architectural progress and quality of living. Its importance is underscored by the fact that the original architectural plans are preserved at the Library of Congress, marking it a notable landmark in modern design history.

Jacobsen’s vision for the Trentman House strikes a perfect balance between modern aesthetics and respect for its historic surroundings. This home not only exemplifies architectural brilliance but also offers an unparalleled living experience in Georgetown’s historic East Village.
