Contemporary

This thoroughly and comprehensively updated mid-century contemporary home boasts an above average lot size (approximately 0.6 acre) with mature trees providing privacy and acting as an effective noise shield. It's nested at an elevated position up on a hill with a private driveway and captivating seasonal views of Potomac River. The highly sought-after Glen Echo Heights is a quiet neighborhood oasis with a rustic feel that at the same time, offers driving proximity to D.C, the larger Bethesda area and Northern Virginia. The C&O canal park and neighborhood pool (with transferable membership) are both within a short walking distance. This two-level dwelling possesses the unmistakable hallmarks of classic mid-century-style: cathedral ceilings, extra- large picture windows and open spaces. The house also features a spacious balcony/deck suitable for entertaining dozens of guests and providing serene views of the woods. While carefully preserving the authentic look of the house, the owners have performed an array of improvements over the years, inside and out, among them: installed custom Pella wood frame windows, etched glass and/or mirror accented doors, replaced the roof (plus added modern insulation), re-insulated the walls, replaced two HVAC units and added a split AC/heat pump for bedrooms, as well as a tankless water heater; upgraded the electrical panel and installed a central vacuum. All kitchen and laundry appliances were also upgraded (full List of Improvements is in the Documents section of this listing). Come see this gem of a house! It promises an opportunity to live in harmony with nature and modern living space in one of the region's most desirable enclaves.
