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.
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.

 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 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.
