Property Description
Introducing the stunning Trentman House, an award-winning masterpiece designed by renowned Georgetown architect Hugh Newell Jacobsen. Built in 1969, this historic residence won the AIA Honor Award and was honored with Architectural Record’s #1 Award of Excellence for House Design, recognizing its significant contributions to architectural progress and quality of living. Its importance is underscored by the fact that the original architectural plans are preserved at the Library of Congress, marking it as a notable landmark in modern design history.
Jacobsen’s vision for the Trentman House strikes a perfect balance between modern aesthetics and respect for its historic surroundings. By employing exquisite curved bricks—his first and last use of this intricate material—Jacobsen harmonized the structure's scale with neighboring homes, cleverly aligning cornices, lintels, and sills. The house features striking design elements, including two soaring cylinders made from drainpipes that house the winding stairs, and expansive skylights that bathe the interior in natural light. The layout flows effortlessly, with a second-floor terrace leading to a beautifully landscaped garden, while the bay windows offer delightful views of the nearby tennis courts and Rose Park.
Recently renovated, the Trentman House preserves its original Jacobsen character while incorporating modern conveniences. The new chef’s kitchen is a culinary delight, equipped with Miele appliances and sleek white countertops. Bathrooms have been upgraded with elegant Spanish porcelain tiles and frameless glass enclosures, ensuring both style and comfort. Climate-adaptive comfort systems were added, including new custom-built windows with energy-efficient glass, window coverings, additional insulation throughout, and new ventilation to keep the house efficiently cooler in the summer months and warmer in the winter. With three spacious en-suite bedrooms, an elevator, garage parking, and a private garden, this iconic residence not only exemplifies architectural brilliance but also offers an unparalleled living experience in Georgetown’s historic East Village.
