Washington D.C. - Selected Sales
DUPONT CIRCLE / KALORAMA
Located on the cusp of fashionable Kalorama and steps from the dynamics of vibrant Dupont Circle, these townhouses are on one of the City's most desirable streets, Hillyer Place. One block long. It was originally the carriage entrance drive to a grand mansion on Massachusetts Avenue that is now the Cosmos Club. Each of these handsome townhouses is typical of sales by William Sawyer & Company. Our most recent sale on this beautiful block was $1,350,000.
DUPONT CIRCLE WEST
is an enclave of houses centered around 21st and N, O and P Streets. True architectural treasures are found in much of this area and a favorite sale (actually we've sold it twice) of William Sawyer & Company is the house at 1400 21st Street, with its "Chateau sur Mer" doorway and period interior featuring extinct red Georgia Pine floors. Another favorite transaction is diagonally 
across at 1337 featuring a classic facade with flanking entrance steps and a contemporary interior. Our other sales in the immediate area include, not only the house next door, but houses up the block in the 1400's that years ago were rooming houses. Also, several houses around the corner in the 2100 block of O Street; townhouses tucked into the one-block long street of Hopkins and house on N Street and Newport Place.
Over on 22nd Street we negotiated the acquisition of older townhouses for a developer that then rebuilt and renovated these classic Victorians into traditional style, modern townhouses. Located close to the new West End, William Sawyer & Co. sold these "new houses" at prices now to be envied in today's real market.
NORTHWEST WASHINGTON
William Sawyer & Co. has represented a wide variety of homes throughout the area including a marvelous Forest Hills contemporary featuring a glass wall floating dining room adjacent to Rock Creek Park, $900,000. An international design house in Colonial Village $650,000. A well designed comfortable house on Rittenhouse Street in Takoma Park, under $200,000. 
Woodley Park houses including an international correspondent's home to a multi-unit property with five car parking (a delightful plus). A Foxhall property showcasing the owner's antique collection was recently sold to a Bush Administration member at $850,000.
For the savvy traveler seeking comfort and location, our Jeanne Foster negotiated the sale of The Taft Bridge Inn on Wyoming Avenue in Kalorama. This storied Bed and Breakfast is one of several unique transactions for which William Sawyer & Company has established a quiet yet strong reputation for bringing a buyer home to the right property.
CONDOMINIUMS & COOPERATIVES
The William Sawyer & Company portfolio of sales include The Foxhall on Massachusetts Avenue to The Watergate to the select smaller buildings in Cleveland Park, Foggy Bottom, Dupont Circle, Georgetown, Kalorama (including the famed Kalorama Square), Cathedral/Wesley Heights including buildings such as The Westchester, The Worland, The Carthage, Cathedral West, and many other fine buildings.
GEORGETOWN
Georgetown at 28th & Q Streets, NW has three row houses that have evolved through the years from single family houses to a ten unit apartment house and now, in 2001, back into restored and renovated single family houses. William Sawyer & Co. has represented these properties and sales to group and individual owners over the past 15 years. Across the street on 28th, next door to Bliss House at 1635, is one of Georgetown's newer classics. Built by Minkoff, William Sawyer & Company sold it the second time around to one of Georgetown's foremost "gemologists" and her husband.
One of the more interesting Historic Properties sold by William Sawyer & Company was John F. Kennedy's first house in Georgetown on 31st Street. JFK moved in after his first election as a congressman. Long time neighbors remembered JFK and his sister Eunice playing darts in the first floor room facing the street. Early strategies for JFK's career were first planned in this quiet, unassuming and elegant house.
Georgetown at 29th & P Streets, NW Built in 1880's this classic "East Village" Georgetown house features superb light-filled living and dining rooms all complimented by up-to-date improvements including a swimming pool and lovely garden.
Historic Georgetown Church William Sawyer & Co. was chosen to locate a suitable Washington DC building to serve as an East Coast primary church for an Episcopal diocese. After the successful acquisition in Georgetown of this handsome church, requiring about one year of negotiations, we then represented and coordinated the purchase of thier Pacific Heights church in Sand Francisco. Of interest, as a result of the proceeds of the sale of the Georgetown church, the former AME congregation has grown from the then remaining 34 members to a thriving Maryland congregration of appro
ximately 600 members.
Georgetown near Dumbarton Oaks Until we sold this almost "story book" looking house to its current owners, it was for many years the home of the founder of the children's "Golden Books." Superbly located near the handsome gardens and mansion of the famed Dumbarton Oaks. This home was sold by William Sawyer & Co. in "turn-key" condition including virtually all furnishings, accessories, linens and flatware.
Maryland - Selected Sales
MONTGOMERY COUNTY
From Chevy Chase's own Town of Somerset to Bethesda to Potomac our Maryland sales have ranged in the past several months from $300,000 to $1,850,000 in 2001. The latter was for a distinctive house on Dorset in the historic part of the Town of Somerset and brought a new price level for Somerset.
Another William Sawyer & Co. sale was nearby in Chevy Chase on Stanford St. It was in the same family for well over 50 years. Early on it was a "country home" complete with vac
ation theme motifs on the shutters. Now extensively renovated and restored, it is a true Chevy Chase classic. Indicative of the cross section of our business is a house at the other end of the spectrum, near the Chevy Chase Country Club in the Rolling Wood area. Near the end of the millenium William Sawyer & Co. negotiated the sale of another of our favorites; on Rolling Road it falls aptly in the cateogry of the "prettiest sited family houses".
We also recently matched the Designer's Workroom, one of the White House's custom furniture and accessories favorites, to their new store on St. Elmo Street in Bethesda.
