About This Property

Set quietly above Rock Creek Park and surrounded by nature on two sides, this cedar-clad contemporary retreat is a rare architectural offering in Washington, DC. Designed for those who appreciate light, scale, and connection to the outdoors, the residence unfolds as a private sanctuary where every space is oriented toward the landscape.

A dramatic, slate-floored atrium introduces the home, setting the tone for what follows. Volumes open, ceilings rise, and natural light pours in from expansive walls of glass. The living room, with its soaring proportions and fireplace, feels both grand and intimate, while framing uninterrupted, breathtaking views of the park beyond. Throughout, the home balances openness with purpose, creating a seamless flow ideal for both everyday living and elevated entertaining.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen is thoughtfully designed and well-appointed, anchored by a central island and surrounded by generous cabinetry and workspace. A glass-enclosed breakfast area extends into the landscape, offering a true indoor-outdoor experience with direct access to the deck and nature. Here, entertaining becomes effortless, with mature landscaping and a peaceful, wooded backdrop.

The home offers six bedrooms and five baths across multiple levels, providing flexibility and privacy. The primary suite is a sanctuary of its own, featuring vaulted ceilings, treetop views, a fireplace, and a spa-like bath illuminated by skylights. Additional bedrooms are well-scaled, while a top-level suite creates an ideal space for guests, a home office, or a private retreat.

A spacious family room with a wet bar and statement stone fireplace anchors the lower level, designed for gathering and relaxation. Multiple work-from-home options are thoughtfully integrated, including dedicated office space overlooking the park.

The architecture is further enhanced by a series of lofted galleries and open-to-below spaces, creating visual connections between levels and reinforcing the home's modern design language. This interplay of volume and light is a defining feature rarely found at this scale.

Outdoor living is equally compelling, with a large deck and direct access to trails, offering a lifestyle that feels removed from the city, yet remains moments from its conveniences.

A one-car garage, additional parking, and abundant storage complete the offering.

This is not simply a home. It is a design-driven retreat for those who value contemporary architecture, privacy, and a daily connection to nature.
