Property details
About 2040 S St NW
A rare opportunity to own one of Washington’s magnificent Georgian revival mansions. Jewett House, as it is known, was built within close proximity to other stately residences in Kalorama and Embassy Row. The generously scaled rooms are stunning with high ceilings, detailed moldings, and oversized windows. The elegant three-story residence was constructed with detailed brick and limestone and an impressive clay tile roof. Previously used as a grand residence for sophisticated entertaining, the building is configured with offices, conference rooms, and a substantial boardroom. The mixed-use zoning could allow for numerous residential and commercial uses such as; a residence and family office, a Think Tank with housing for guests or patrons, or a diplomatic residence with offices. The main entrance is located at 2040 S Street. The annex and commercial entrances are at 1742 Connecticut Ave and 1737 21st Street. An opportunity rarely available in Washington, D.C.
