The late artist William Andrew Christenberry’s residence and studio has hit the market at $2,050,000. Christenberry’s home, located at 2739 Macomb St. NW, is listed by the Hatfield Weir Team of Washingotn Fine Properties. Christenberry, who passed away in 2016, was an internationally acclaimed American artist, teacher and collector. He is best known for his collages and photos of aging rural buildings in the American South.
Christenberry’s wife, Sandy Deane, and he moved to D.C. in 1968, when he accepted a teaching position at the Corcoran School of Art. The couple moved into the Macomb St. NW home in 1974. Soon after, Christenberry commissioned a big, double-height open studio on the property next to his home.
The home’s wrap-around front porch is a welcoming and relaxing place to sit and catch up with friends and family. The interior includes four bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, and measures 4,484 square feet. There are high ceilings, hardwood floors, and oversized windows that let sunshine in for a bright and airy home. The neighboring lot includes Christenberry’s studio, a small pond and private garden. The home includes garage and off-street surface parking, which as we all know is a hot commodity in Georgetown.
The dining room has built-in shelves and lots of space for dining. A welcoming kitchen looks out at the back garden. More information on the listing can be found here. See below for a gallery of photos from the property.
