HOUSE OF THE WEEK | The six-bedroom, seven-bathroom Williamsburg-inspired property underwent a $3 million renovation in 2013.

The 1935 house, at 2601 Foxhall Rd. NW, did have memories to share when Kimbell bought it in 2013. A $3 million renovation discovered Republican political memorabilia from Barry Goldwater’s Senate and presidential campaigns and Howard Baker’s and Warren Rudman’s Senate campaigns.

Kimbell said he “replicated” Reagan-era parties “from the day we finished the house” until he moved out in mid-2020. Also on the main level, the kitchen has a wine bar as well as a black walnut island with a breakfast bar, and it adjoins a family room with a wet bar. A powder room is near the foyer and a sunroom is in the rear. The house has front and rear stairways and an elevator that connects all levels.The upper level has five bedrooms and four bathrooms. The primary bedroom suite has a sitting area with a fireplace, two walk-in closets and an en suite bathroom.

“We pulled a lot of the old steel structures out of [the lower level] to really open up the basement, which allowed for a massive playroom,” Kimbell said. “Whether you’re into smoking cigars or drinking whiskey or having a couple glasses of wine, that was a super, super cool room.”
