A historic, one-bedroom cottage that’s just about as old as the United States itself—and once housed one of America’s top Soviet code breakers—is up for sale in Georgetown. The current asking price? $998,000.
Tucked between two row houses on 28th Street, the crimson-red cottage looks like something out of a storybook. It even has quasi-mythic origins.
Inside the home’s living room, you’ll find weathered wooden beams framing the ceiling. While it’s estimated the house was built around 1780, one of those beams has the year 1721 etched into it. Adding to the house’s intrigue is one of its past residents, Ann Caracristi. A renowned cryptologist during World War II, Caracristi later became the first female deputy director of the National Security Agency, all the while calling the cottage her home for 65 years.
