About This Home

As of March 2025

Nestled on a lushly landscaped corner lot on tree-lined Brandywine Street, this stunning mid-century modern home effortlessly blends timeless design with contemporary comfort. Offering four spacious bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, this property is an ideal sanctuary for modern living and entertaining. Designed by notable Washington architect Joseph Miller, FAIA, the home’s architectural pedigree is immediately evident with its clean lines, expansive south-facing windows, and seamless integration with the surrounding natural beauty.
Step inside to discover a bright and airy interior, with an open-concept layout that features floor to ceiling glass, gleaming hardwood and slate floors, multiple skylights, and generous living spaces bathed in natural light. The gourmet kitchen, renovated in 2020 and outfitted with top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, sleek cabinetry, and quartz countertops, is a chef’s dream, perfect for hosting intimate dinners or lively gatherings. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area flows into the living room, complete with an Alicante marble surround gas fireplace and views of the California-like, private backyard, 38 foot salt water pool with automatic cover, and extensive hardscaping.
The primary suite serves as a tranquil retreat, featuring a spa-like en-suite bathroom renovated in 2019 with separate shower, heated terrazzo floor, soaking tub, and ample closet space. Three additional bedrooms, each generously sized, and three additional bathrooms ensure comfort and privacy for family and guests alike. A large, lower-level recreation room offers direct access to the garage and rear yard. A den on the main living level is perfect for movie watching or relaxing with family and friends.
Outdoor living is equally captivating, with the gas-heated pool, spacious patio and landscaped yard with in-ground sprinkler system offering a serene escape for relaxation, gardening, or al fresco dining with built-in under-eave heating. Accessed by a large permeable driveway that can accommodate several cars, the heated attached 2 car garage built in 2014 is outfitted with a Chargepoint Level 2 EV charger and the finished space with epoxy floor and oversized sliding glass doors can double as a gallery-sized entertainment space. Above the garage, a green roof is one of several eco-friendly features. Solar panels add to the home’s environmental sustainability along with custom low EV windows throughout. Ample storage throughout the home adds to its practicality and convenience.
Located in the highly sought-after Forest Hills neighborhood, this property is just minutes from Rock Creek Park, Van Ness Metro (Red Line), esteemed public and private schools, embassies, vibrant dining, and easy access to downtown DC. Don’t miss the opportunity to own this architectural masterpiece that offers the perfect balance of style, space, and location.
