About This Home

As of April 2021

Designed by Mark Sexton, a protege of Frank Lloyd Wright, this sun-filled four bedroom, four bathroom mid-century modern cottage is truly one of a kind! The main level features an inviting living room with a wall of glass overlooking the masterfully landscaped side garden, a renovated gourmet kitchen, a spacious bedroom with an ensuite bath, in addition to a private study/second bedroom. The second level features a private primary suite, complete with large closets, a spa-like bath which includes a skylight above the spa-tub, and an adjoining study. The walk-out lower level features a spacious Au Pair apartment with a full bath and kitchen-ette, a finished utilities room / potential bedroom, and a laundry room. This home has an incredible indoor/outdoor flow, featuring an expansive deck, walk-out lower level, flagstone patio, and 2-car off-street parking. The Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired contemporary cottage nestled in a beautiful garden is an unexpected oasis from urban life. Situated in the sought after Palisades neighborhood, this breathtaking home is within walking distance to the C & O Canal, numerous shops and restaurants, and just a short drive to all of the attractions Washington, D.C. has to offer!
