Whitehaven, Georgian mansion on Whitehaven Street, Massachusetts Avenue neighborhood, Washington DC, United States
Whitehaven is a two-story mansion in Neo-Georgian style located on Whitehaven Street in Washington DC. The house features white exterior walls with columns, seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, and interior spaces designed for entertaining guests.
The mansion was purchased in 2000 by former White House occupants. It became the first residence of its kind in Washington owned by someone who previously held that highest office.
The name comes from a port city in England, reflecting the international connections of those who live here. Artworks and photographs of dignitaries fill the rooms, telling stories of global relationships.
The property sits in a neighborhood filled with foreign embassies and government offices nearby. Keep in mind this is a private residence with limited public access except for special occasions.
In the early 2000s the interior was redesigned to include a conservatory space that links living areas to landscaped gardens. This renovation shows how older homes can adapt to contemporary living while preserving their character.
