Ideally located in the heart of Georgetown’s prestigious East Village, this handsome 8,000 square foot detached residence exudes grandeur. The Colonial Revival-style home was built in 1893 by Thomas Hyde, a prominent Washington DC businessman, who worked directly with the architecture firm of Snowden Ashford and Howard Sill.
