Georgetown

Bicycles & bowties greet John & Christine when they meet realtor & Georgetown fixture Jamie Peva. Residents and visitors of Georgetown know this popular neighborhood very well. But do they? This episode features little-known history, new perspectives and lots of jazz. Plus, 3 homes built between 1850 and the 1900s, offering the kind of sneak peek that everyone wishes for when visiting Georgetown.

At just 9 feet wide, rumor has it that this 1 bedroom, 1.5 bath home was originally built in an alley to spite the neighbors -- and it might just be the narrowest house in Georgetown. But even with its small footprint, the home has plenty of room for historic charm. From exposed brick and beams to a peaceful patio out back, there's lots to love!

"Sometimes homes just have a really warm feeling to them." John and Christine have no trouble picturing themselves in this 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath house in the west village of Georgetown. A blend of textures are reminders of the home's Victorian roots, while a nicely renovated kitchen and other modern features add 21st century comfort.

The high end details and formal style of this 1870s home in Georgetown's west village leave John and Christine struggling for adjectives. The moldings, chandeliers and wallpaper are a feast for the eyes, while the 4 bedrooms and 4.5 baths are "luxury at its best."

"Everybody says 'Lets go to Georgetown,'" says Blues Alley owner Harry Schnipper. And, it's no wonder -- from shopping to nightlife there's something for everyone. Wendy Ezrailson, the owner Commander Salamander, details how the store tapped into Washington's love for "sex, drugs, and rock and roll" in the 1980s, as Schnipper recalls how Dizzy Gillespie made Blues Alley the go-to venue for jazz.
