Overview

This stunning 2021 contemporary in sought-after Forest Hills was custom-designed and built by a DC developer as his personal residence, where dramatic architecture, soaring ceilings, and walls of glass create a sophisticated, light-filled retreat in an exceptionally private setting. Beautiful quarter-sawn white oak floors, expansive windows and multiple decks complement the home’s clean modern design and effortless indoor-outdoor flow. Ideal for easy one-level living and completely refreshed in preparation for sale, the main level features a fabulous primary suite, a second en-suite bedroom, gourmet kitchen, open dining area and elegant formal living room. Just a few steps above, a spectacular light-filled loft offers an inspiring studio or home office, complete with a wet bar and powder room. The home boasts Marvin "Ultimate" windows throughout (including a three-panel folding door that seamlessly connects the open dining area to the outdoors)! The impressive walk-out lower level is equally well appointed, with a spacious recreation room, two additional bedroom suites and a versatile bonus room ideal for a fifth bedroom, studio, gym or music room, with ample closet space. This level opens directly to a serene patio and private backyard, creating a wonderful extension of the home’s living and entertaining spaces. Multiple decks offer additional opportunities to enjoy the tranquil surroundings, while the high-ceiling two-car garage is lift-ready for the potential to accommodate additional vehicles. With exceptional natural light, generous proportions, remarkable flexibility and a rare sense of privacy, this distinctive Forest Hills residence offers sophisticated contemporary living in one of Northwest Washington’s most coveted neighborhoods.
