This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath modernist home, conceived as a deliberate contrast to its Victorian surroundings, was custom built in approximately 1980 with a reverence for light, materiality, and architectural flair. Across nearly 2,900 square feet and four levels, the residence offers a rare sense of openness and cohesion that sets it apart from anything else in the neighborhood.
Elevated from the street, a front terrace leads to a soaring, two-story glass foyer that immediately sets the tone. Inside, the main level features a gracious living room with a gas fireplace, a sculptural custom screen, built-in storage, accent lighting, and integrated audio throughout. The space flows effortlessly into an eat-in chef’s kitchen appointed with a 6-burner gas range, venting hood, wine fridge, a grand stone island with bar seating, and ample custom cabinetry. At the rear, a glass-encased family/dining room provides a serene space overlooking the beautifully hardscaped brick patio—an elegant extension of the living space, perfect for entertaining, dining al fresco, or enjoying unparalleled privacy and tranquility.
Upstairs, the second level hosts two generously sized bedrooms—one with a fireplace—and a full bath, while the top floor is devoted to a king-sized primary suite with its own fireplace, ample closet space, sitting area, and a skylit marble bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, and glass-enclosed shower. The lower level offers a powder room, laundry and mechanical rooms, and abundant storage—including a dedicated wine cellar and flexible space ideal for a home gym, studio, or additional storage.
A private entrance leads directly to the oversized two-car garage, which also includes additional driveway parking and a workshop area.
Throughout the home, thoughtful architectural moments abound—from skylights and clerestory windows to custom millwork and built-in shelving. Wrapped in glass and grounded in warm, natural finishes, this residence offers an extraordinary sense of volume, privacy, and serenity—all just moments from the vibrant energy of Dupont Circle.
Available for the first time in decades, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly singular architectural gem.
