It’s been said that home is where the history is. But how often do we get the chance to share our home’s story with a former president?
For the future owners of 4921 30th Place NW—once the residence of President Lyndon B Johnson—every day is a chance to live against a backdrop of history infused with modern conveniences—while writing your own chapter of the story. Johnson, who would ultimately become the 36th president of the United States, bought the brick dwelling in the Forest Hills neighborhood of Northwest Washington for $18,000 back in 1943. It would be his family’s home for 18 years—until he assumed the role of Vice President under JFK.

Memories of the family’s time in the house reverberate off its walls: still there is the screen porch where they ate dinner and played cards, not to mention the backyard garden that facilitated Easter Egg hunts and swing set adventures. But the house, a picturesque Colonial nestled in Forest Hills, is primed for plenty of new memories to be made, too—thanks in large part to its location. Forest Hills, one of DC’s most prestigious neighborhoods, is the key to suburban tranquility—without actually leaving the city behind. Stroll the scenic streets just beyond your front doorstep, hike the trails of nearby Soapstone Valley Park, or sample the eclectic selection of eateries on Connecticut Avenue. A home where location and history collide, there’s no place like 4921 30th Place NW.
