Description

OFFER DEADLINE: Tuesday at noon. Built in 1968, this contemporary home sits within a distinctive enclave featuring several architectural models and a shared modernist design language by Cohen, Haft & Associates. With five bedrooms, three full baths, one half bath, and more than 3,800 square feet of living space, there’s room to spread out, gather together, and let your personality settle in. Original woodwork takes center stage. A sculptural open-riser staircase and beautifully crafted wood-slat partitions define spaces while allowing light to flow between them. The warm wood tones, geometric lines, and shifting patterns of sunlight create a sophisticated interplay of light, texture, and geometry that remains as compelling today as it was nearly six decades ago. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the adjoining living and dining areas put the wooded backyard on full display. The large wood-burning fireplace is equally eye-catching, with an asymmetrical stone hearth and integrated firewood storage. Picture a crackling fire, dinner with friends, and absolutely no rush to call it a night. In the eat-in kitchen, the treehouse-like view might tempt you to linger over a second cup of coffee. New flooring and recessed lighting give the space a fresh lift. A second spacious living room brings a cozier mood, with built-in shelving and room for music, board-game rivalries, or a movie marathon. Even the powder room has personality, thanks to its beautifully preserved original light sage-green tile floor. The primary bedroom features an en suite bathroom and a private balcony overlooking the backyard. Step outside, take a breath, and let the weather help you choose your outfit. An entry-level bedroom with its own en suite bathroom makes a welcoming guest retreat or a flexible space for an office, yoga studio, or creative pursuits. Throughout the bathrooms, original tile delivers the kind of retro charm worth keeping. Practical spaces get their moment, too. The laundry room has exterior access and serious mudroom potential. The garage offers room for a car, storage, or that hobby you’ve been meaning to take up. Custom iron gates, originally made for the owners’ dogs, blend striking design with everyday practicality—helpful for keeping pups and little ones close or guiding guests on where to be. Behind the vintage appeal are welcome updates: replacement windows throughout, HVAC (2019), water heater (2019), new lighting fixtures throughout, and an electrical service upgrade (2026), among others. A canopy of trees, space to play, and peaceful backyard views make it easy to forget how close you are to Metro access, the Beltway, Route 200, shopping, dining, and everyday errands. Come for the architecture. Stay for the view. Make yourself at home.
