Property Description

Dating to 1800, the Medley-Sewell House is in one of Georgetown's most unique historic houses. It is a free-standing residence in the west village, set prominently above the street on nearly .20 of an acre. This rare offering features parking for four cars, six bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms with a pool and formal gardens. In 1796 Bernard Medley bought the lot, known then as 99 Fayette Street and transferred it one month later to Clement Sewall who built the house. Today, the Medley-Sewell House blends period architecture with modern amenities. The double parlor features twin fireplaces, a bay window, and custom millwork that create an ideal space for entertaining. The formal dining room, with its own period fireplace, adjoins the living area. An addition was added to the rear of the house offering a kitchen/family room overlooking the pool and also an office or the primary suite. The kitchen and family room open directly to the private pool and formal gardens, a rare feature in Georgetown. The primary suite on the second floor includes a marble bath, walk-in closet, office with pool views, and sitting area. The third floor features three bedrooms, a full bath and a convenient laundry room. The lower level offers a recreation room, full kitchen, bedroom, and bath, suitable as an au pair suite or guest quarters.
