William Sawyer & Company has a record of sales throughout the greater Washington metropolitan area. Following is a brief selection of transactions in which we have participated to give you an overview of our business that has been serving Washington buyers and sellers since 1977.
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, in 2001, 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.
Indeed few firms are as well grounded in this close-in
and handsome neighborhood as is William Sawyer & Company, Realtors. Click Here

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. A William Sawyer
& Co. sale at $3,000,000.
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 approximately 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.
