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 13372100
block of O Street; townhouses tucked into the one-block long street of Hopkins and house on N Street and
Newport Place. 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.
 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.
William Sawyer
& Co. has represented a wide variety of homes throughout the area including a marvelous Forest Hills
contemporary featuring a glass wall floating dining room adjacent to Rock Creek Park, $900,000. An international
design house in Colonial Village $650,000. A well designed comfortable house on Rittenhouse Street in Takoma
Park, under $200,000. Woodley Park houses including an international correspondent's home to
a multi-unit property with five car parking (a delightful plus). A Foxhall property showcasing the owner's
antique collection was recently sold to a Bush Administration member at $850,000.
 For the savvy traveler seeking comfort and location, our Jeanne Foster negotiated
the sale of The Taft Bridge Inn on Wyoming Avenue in Kalorama. This storied Bed and Breakfast is one
of several unique transactions for which William Sawyer & Company has established a quiet yet strong reputation
for bringing a buyer home to the right property.
The William Sawyer & Company portfolio of sales include The Foxhall on Massachusetts Avenue to
The Watergate to the select smaller buildings in Cleveland Park, Foggy Bottom, Dupont Circle, Georgetown, Kalorama (including
the famed Kalorama Square), Cathedral/Wesley Heights including buildings such as The Westchester, The Worland,
The Carthage, Cathedral West, and many other fine buildings.
 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.
