Set behind a manicured brick wall in one of the city's most storied enclaves, this Carriage House sits on a coveted corner lot with formal gardens surrounding a residence of quiet architectural distinction all on one level. From the foyer, a hall opens to the great room, where three sweeping archways lead to the patio beyond, blurring the line between house and garden. Soaring ceilings, silk-dressed French doors, and two hand-carved marble mantels lend the room a grace rarely found outside the finest historic addresses. Beyond it, a wood-paneled library offers a refined retreat for work or a bedroom with an en suite bath. The eat-in kitchen features custom cabinetry, dual arched transoms, and opens to a private patio overlooking the garden and fountain. The primary suite occupies its own wing with an expansive dressing room and marble bath with a soaking tub and mosaic stonework. Three full baths complete the home. The gardens are the true signature: a lawn parterre centered on a classical fountain and mature specimen plantings. A newly built heated and cooled two-car garage and finished lower level with gym, den, and full bath complete the offering. Rarely does a College Hill property unite architecture, garden, and privacy this way. Tastefully and extensively renovated by HB Design & Build, this exceptional residence is framed by breathtaking landscaping. 251 George Street is offered for the discerning few who recognize what cannot be replicated.
