The house that belonged to the late secretary of state for more than 50 years is for sale.

  • The address: 1318 34th St. NW. It's 4,749 square feet with four bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms.
  • Price tag: $4 million

What's happening: The home has a storied past, the spot where Madam Secretary long hosted Washington's elite. It also has a combination of characteristics that make it a rare find, especially in Georgetown, co-listing agent Michael Rankin tells Axios.

  • Many architectural details, including the floors and crown moldings, are original to the 1853 home.
  • The kitchen and bathrooms, however, have been updated in the last 10 years — by D.C. architect Anne Decker — with white cabinets and contemporary finishes.
  • There's also a large garden and two-car garage.

From someone Albright-esque with a "very Washington job" to a deep-pocketed suburban buyer who's keen to live in the city, "the buyer pool for something like this is numerous," Rankin tells Axios.

Take a look around:
