Standing as the “heart of a large farm and estate lying just north of Georgetown” for most of its history, the Rosedale Farmhouse and grounds were preserved in an award-winning community effort in 2002, and the Farmhouse has since been lovingly restored and renovated with careful attention to historic details by its current owners, who also added a 60’ pool and pool house. Facing south toward Newark, the house, beautifully landscaped garden and pool enjoy sweeping views of the National Cathedral, with magnificent south, east and west light and a lovely shared private tennis court. The three-acre Rosedale Conservancy, carefully maintained and preserved, buffers this quiet oasis, providing a unique urban experience. The countryside in the heart of the city.

There is no other home in Washington, DC like the Rosedale Farmhouse. From the early years of the Stone Cottage's construction in the 1730's, the Rosedale Farmhouse has hosted presidents and residents alike. Historic events at the house have included frequent visits by Pierre L’Enfant, a dinner the Forrests held for President John Adams in 1800, a long visit by Aaron Burr after his fateful duel with Alexander Hamilton, sale of large parts of the original Rosedale property for the streets and parks of lower Northwest DC, and use of the house by Elian Gonzalez and his family in the late 1990’s.
