NEW YORK, NEW YORK, USA, October 24, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions is pleased to announce The Newton Baker House, a magnificent compound in the heart of Georgetown and steeped with history by previous owners, including First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Newton Baker, and more, is now pending sale after a fiercely competitive auction on 24 October.

Listed by Jonathan Taylor of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty, the sale price reached over $15 million, achieving 87% of the previous list price after just 49 days of global exposure. Across the six bidders, 19 total bids were placed for an aggregate of over $212 million in total bids, with a 163% increase from the average starting bid to the final sale price. 84% of all bids were placed after the auction opened online at ConciergeAuctions.com, which allowed buyers to bid digitally from anywhere in the world.

“I can attest that working with Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions is an extremely expedited way to achieve true market value for the world’s finest luxury real estate, as we did today for The Newton Baker House,” stated Jonathan Taylor. “I’m pleased to have partnered with their extraordinary team on the sale of this iconic piece of Georgetown history. When it comes to global exposure and outreach, Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions is the best, which ultimately led to an engaging auction between competitive bidders. I look forward to working with them again."

This residential compound stretches across three historic homes, connected seamlessly, forming a unique 13-bedroom, 16,000-square-foot estate. The Newton Baker House, a grand Federal-style residence at 3017 N St. NW, forms the beating heart of this estate. The rich historic elegance throughout has been meticulously retained during its transformation into a modern showplace. While filled with stories of previous owners and notable figures, including First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Newton Baker, Yolande Fox, and Thomas Beall, the property also includes a three-car garage, a true rarity in this historic neighborhood.
