23 HIGH STREET · BROOKEVILLE, MARYLAND
When the British burned Washington on August 24, 1814, the buildings that housed the country’s institutions burned with it. The Treasury. The War Office. The President’s House. For three days, the work of the government continued without any of the offices that normally held it.
President Madison carried what he could in his saddlebags. When he reached the Bentley house in Brookeville, he sat at the parlor desk and worked through the night – writing dispatches, issuing orders, holding the country together with a pen.
The Treasury House is the estate for the buyer who understands that the most important work happens at a desk, in a quiet room, often after everyone else has gone to bed.
Designed for those who value both beauty and purpose, The Treasury House brings together refined architecture, thoughtfully composed living spaces, and exceptional attention to detail. Every room has been designed to support the rhythms of everyday life, balancing spaces for focused work, quiet retreat, and effortless gathering within a home of lasting quality.
Nestled within Madison Manor, The Treasury House enjoys a private homesite that blends neighborhood charm with a sense of peaceful retreat. Thoughtfully positioned within its surroundings, the residence offers a setting that feels connected to Brookeville’s historic landscape while providing privacy and comfort for modern living.
Inspired by enduring American residential architecture, The Treasury House is defined by balanced proportions, authentic materials, and carefully considered details. Welcoming porches, timeless forms, and elegant craftsmanship create a residence that feels both established and inviting.
Designed to support both productivity and connection, the home’s flowing interior creates spaces equally suited for focused work, quiet reflection, and memorable gatherings. It is a residence where daily routines unfold with ease and every room serves a meaningful purpose.
Thoughtfully integrated technology, energy-efficient systems, and contemporary conveniences enhance everyday living while preserving the home’s classic architectural character. The result is a residence that feels timeless in appearance and thoroughly modern in function.
The Treasury House is the estate for the buyer who works from home – and works seriously.
It is the most architecturally formal of the three primary estates. The Federal-era cues, the dark roof, the considered proportions all read as a home built for someone who values structure, discipline, and the kind of room where real work gets done. The study is the heart of the house.
The right buyer for The Treasury House is someone who has built something significant, and who plans to keep building it from the desk by the window.
