The Halcyon House

































I want this house. It is on sale--less than 20 million (it started out at 30 million). It is missing a tennis court/basketball hoop. I'm also not sure that it has a balcony. But, other than that, it's perfect.

And it's historic: it was built by the first secretary of the navy (a friend of George Washington), was later bought by a nephew of Mark Twain's, and is now owned by a DC sculptor.

Also, I love the name.

The pros outweigh the cons: you should buy it. You can always play tennis when you come visit me and Warren, after we get married.
