The Alexander Graham Bell House | Step into a Gilded Age fantasy with this extraordinary Greek Revival corner residence, built in 1854 and once home to Alexander Graham Bell and his family. Steeped in history and architectural splendor, this six-bedroom, six full and two half-bath Georgetown estate is a masterwork of 19th-century elegance, meticulously preserved and thoughtfully updated. A Grand Historic Interior Spanning four gracious levels, the home is centered around a sweeping mahogany staircase rising beneath a stained-glass skylight. Echoes of Upstairs/Downstairs living abound—from working call bells connecting principal rooms to the kitchen, to grapevine and acanthus-leaf moldings, faux bois doors, paneled window shutters, and intricate brass hardware. The twin parlors—perfect for formal entertaining—feature marble fireplaces with carved acorn details, gilded crown moldings and chandelier medallions. Stained-glass pocket doors lead into the formal dining room, where striped wood floors extend into a ballroom-like space framed by Palladian triple-hung windows that open to the terrace garden and fountain. Period chandeliers, cut-crystal sconces, and etched glass fixtures complete the unified decorative scheme. The main level half-bath features an antique Edward Johns & Co sink, period high-tank commode, and opaline glass light fixtures. Chef’s Kitchen & Terraced Garden The light-filled, eat-in kitchen blends historic charm with modern functionality. Anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, it includes Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a mix of butcher block and stone counters, and fully functional original call bells. French doors open directly to the lush, walled terrace garden—an urban sanctuary complete with mature plantings and a stone fountain. Private Quarters & Lavish Suites The original second-floor primary bedroom is bathed in natural light and adjoins a marble-and-tile ensuite bath with Waterworks fixtures and a towel warmer. A nearby study/library features a marble fireplace and access to a canopied terrace, as well as a concealed Eastlake-style wet bar outfitted with a copper sink, pomegranate-motif painted tiles, and herringbone cabinetry. A later addition brings a private octagonal primary suite enhanced with opaline glass tiebacks, floral plaster medallion, and dual bathrooms. One features a marble sink, tile shower, and Waterworks fittings; the other offers a large marble vanity within a spacious dressing room, complete with a built-in ironing station and Jacuzzi tub. On the third floor, two additional bedrooms each offer marble fireplaces, custom built-ins, and full ensuite baths with clawfoot tubs, pedestal sinks, and antique light fixtures. Lower Level Accessible via private staircases, the fully equipped lower level includes a two-bedroom in-law or rental suite with twin closets, a full and half bath, and a dedicated laundry. Period elements abound: original tile floors, a Dutch door, cast-iron hardware, and tongue-and-groove detailing. The historic butler’s pantry and second laundry station add charm and functionality. Additional Features Include: Oversized two-car garage with ample storage and recent improvements Copper flashing and drainage throughout Original enamel doorknobs, locks, and fixtures throughout Multiple fireplaces, including wood-burning and decorative marble Thoughtful updates with Waterworks, Lefroy Brooks, and Czech & Speake fixtures A Rare Opportunity Located within the Georgetown Historic District and listed on the D.C. Inventory of Historic Sites, the Alexander Melville Bell House represents an extraordinary convergence of heritage, craftsmanship, and luxury. It is not merely a home—it is a legacy, ready for its next steward.
