A distinguished presence across from Kalorama's beloved Mitchell Park, The Frederic Delano House, designed and built by Waddy Wood in 1924 for Frederic Delano, maternal uncle of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, has served as the Ambassadorial Residence for the Government of Ireland for nearly 60 years. A captivating Federal Revival facade with a circular driveway and ornate limestone portico reveals an expansive, airy interior of over 10,000 square feet, featuring dramatically-proportioned rooms, exquisite period architectural details, and superb social flow. On the main level, public rooms with 13' ceilings walk out through Jefferson-style windows to the wide, south-facing terrace, pool, and nearly 1/2 acre of surrounding gardens with unrivaled sunlight, privacy, and stunning monument and city views. Available for public sale for the first time in its 100-year history, don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime historic treasure!
