Former Home of Nixon Advisor Listed for $1.299M
WASHINGTON, DC. (April 12, 2017) – A $1.299 million Colonial-style home has just hit the market on Lake Barcroft, formerly owned by President Richard Nixon advisor Robert Finch. Finch served in a variety of political leadership capacities, starting with his post as the Lieutenant Governor for the state of California, then serving as the Nixon Administration’s Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare and finally the primary counselor to Nixon. The former Finch home, located at 6323 Beachway Drive, has been listed with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage’s Ken Trotter.
The Finch family relocated from California to the Washington, D.C. area in 1969 where they immediately settled in the waterfront home. The five-bedroom, three-bathroom residence was a relaxing retreat for the Finch family, who were active in the D.C. political and social scene. The family remained in the home until 1972, during which time they added an outdoor screened room and an office for Finch.
“It’s fascinating to imagine the political leaders and influencers that must have walked through these halls during the Finch ownership,” said Trotter. “As it stands today, the home offers the perfect blend of historical charm and modern luxury.”
The property has been carefully maintained over the years and now features an updated kitchen, remodeled bathrooms and professional landscaping.
Additional property details include:
- One-half acre of property on Lake Barcroft with boat dock
- Updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite counters and views of the water
- Two fireplaces
- Finished walk-out basement with wet bar
- Extensive outdoor living space overlooking Lake Barcroft
