No. 3 — $3,975,000 · 3420 P St NW, Washington, D.C.
In Georgetown, an 1885 Victorian at 3420 P Street NW brought $3,975,000. The sale closed August 12, 2026. The standalone house holds five bedrooms and five full and one half baths across a reported 3,855 square feet, with detached garage parking and private outdoor space.

Plantation shutters, hardwood floors and preserved historic detail run through the house, and the rear patio was rebuilt with new stonework and a custom water feature.
