Welcome to 3321 Dent Place, where quality and attention to detail take center stage. District495, in collaboration with Architect Christian Zapatka, paid homage to this traditional and timeless Georgetown neighborhood with elite-level finishes that are just as timeless and classic. Originally built in 1948 as one of three Colonial Revival townhouses in the heart of Georgetown’s West Village, 3321 Dent Place became the first home to the newlywed couple, then-Senator John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, in December of 1953.

​

Christian Zapatka has completely re-imagined the architecture of this storied, historically significant property, transforming it into a highly functional 21st-century dwelling. Applying the timeless principles of Beaux Arts planning, a clear and consistent logic for the floor plans was established with a central curvilinear staircase capped by a skylight and an elevator that seamlessly connects all four levels of the house. The details throughout this 3,100-square-foot exquisite custom-built home, which features 4 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and 2 half bathrooms, recall the sophistication and craftsmanship of townhouse architecture in Mayfair, London, and the Upper East Side, New York.

The ground level of the house presents a proper entrance hall paved in grey and white custom marble. Beyond the central staircase, elevator, and powder room, there is a library or guest suite complete with a full bath, walk-in closet, and wet bar.

​

The main level of the house, or "piano nobile," epitomizes grace and grandeur with its soaring ten-foot ceilings and an elegant drawing room/dining room. The space is anchored by a stately fireplace, custom millwork, and a wall of meticulously restored vintage windows and doors that open to a balcony overlooking the deep garden below. A capacious chef's kitchen, complete with an island and beverage bar, Thermador appliances, an ILVE Majestic range, Visual Comfort lighting, and Waterworks fixtures, offers an inviting space for both cooking and entertaining.

​

The top floor of the house is occupied by a generous primary suite with a walk-in closet and a bathroom featuring Waterworks fixtures and Visual Comfort lighting, a laundry closet, and an extra bedroom or office with a separate bathroom and closet.

​

The lower level of the house provides a full guest suite with a bathroom and walk-in closet, along with a home office or wellness space, a full laundry room, and a wine storage area. Retreat through the deep garden to the garage, which doubles as a garden pavilion with beautiful glass French doors, a designer overhead light fixture, and an EV charger.

​

The quality of execution at 3321 Dent Place is unparalleled and deserves to be seen in person. Everywhere you look, there is an item of distinction and value.
