I was in this house a few weeks ago. Something that you cannot tell from the Sotheby's info is that the elevator opens in the bedrooms, especially the master bedroom...I guess that'd be helpful if you were unwell or in a wheelchair,
but as it is it seemed rather "off" to me.
You couldn't relocate the bedrooms easily because the bathrooms are located appropriately to the current layout.

For example, the kitchen, which is good, is on the lowest level...to serve in the dining room you'd have to walk across the whole house, take the elevator up, then walk across the whole house to reach the dining room...the house needs a bit of work too, tho not a massive bit.

It is a nice house, but oddly laid out...it is also a few doors from the Woodrow Wilson house (tourists) and a mostly open 100 or so feet from Mass Ave, NW, which is a very, very busy (loud) street.
Still, one could do worse in DC.
