This exquisite Federal, circa 1798, has been lovingly re-imagined and completely renovated by Linda Battalia Design of Georgetown. Certainly one of the oldest homes in the east village, it was originally built for Col. Charles Beatty, a prominent leader in the Revolutionary War and owner of a ferry between Georgetown and Rosslyn.Many of the original features are in tact, including wide-width plank flooring of heart pine, matching fireplace mantels in the elegant double parlor and much of the original masonry. In its current incarnation, this expanded residence offers over 6100 total square feet generously laid out over five levels, with a stunning English Garden and Terrace of envious proportion. An elevator has been added for ultimate convenience, and the lower level has been expanded and enhanced to create an oasis for casual living and entertainment. The elevated siting provides streaming sunlight and cool breezes throughout the house, and virtually every window provides a picturesque glimpse of bucolic cityscapes and the vast skyline beyond.
