About This Home

As of July 2025

Absolutely stunning renovations in this exceptional home, iconic in the neighborhood. Impeccable style and finishes inside and out but with warm and relaxed living at the heart of the design. Gracious large room sizes, impeccable millwork, top-of-the-line Marvin divided lite windows, an expanded open kitchen with generous island, a stunning spa-like primary bath--this gem offers 3 levels of perfection set on an impeccably designed and maintained lot with Asian-inspired garden with specimen plantings and hardscape.

This home was a model home for the original development of Fairway Hills and the quality of the build is evident. The wonderful first floor has a generous oversized living room with fireplace, beautiful mantel, custom built-ins and archways connecting to the dining room and kitchen. The kitchen expansion is beautiful with custom wood cabinets, high end appliances including double oven, ample counter space and two exposures. A peninsula with breakfast bar is open to the lovely dining room with two exposures including a gorgeous bay window with window seat (and storage). An additional rear foyer area with pantry and closet has a door leading to the stunning back garden with ipe deck with metal and wood railing which leads to the gorgeous back patio with stone seating wall, surrounded by curated and mature specimen plantings. Rough hewn stepping stones lead to the side gates including little garden vignettes and a tucked away area to store recycling containers. A first floor bedroom currently used as a den and lovely updated full bath (in a classic style) complete this floor.

Upstairs find 3 charming bedrooms each with two exposures, window seats (with storage), loads of closets (all fitted and stretched). The primary bath is a spa-like retreat with heated floors, double sinks, custom stone top, a large shower with art glass panel, deep soaking tub and linen closet.

The lower level is bright and spacious and immaculate and boasts a recreation room, office.

No part of this home has remained untouched and all improvements are to the highest caliber and professionally designed from the renovations to the custom window treatments, extensive recessed lighting, Farrow and ball paint colors and more. The garden, professionally designed and immaculately maintained gives this home unmatched curb appeal and charm.

Walk to the C & O Canal, access the MacArthur bike path. Near the wonderful Glen Echo Park with arts and community programming, summer camp, weekend social dances, summer music series and so much more!

EZ commuting access to DC, No VA, Bethesda, 270 corridor!

Bannockburn, Pyle, Whitman Cluster.
