Extremely rare opportunity to acquire a classic modernist home, perfectly situated on a peaceful and private 25 acres in the heart of Washington. Originally constructed in 1957, the house, pool, and property have recently undergone a two year restoration with great care and attention paid to the original architectural design and time period. Clean lines, open spaces, large windows, and a connection to nature define this happy modern home. Set back down a long and winding drive, the property opens up to a peaceful and sunny oasis that will take you back in time. Once inside, a commanding stone fireplace anchors the living room and a wall of windows allow for views of the property beyond. The open plan of the home is wonderful for entertaining, while three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms provide plenty of room for family and guests. Downstairs, the original stone walls create an inviting bonus space perfect as a media room and bar. A large rear deck, front patio, and period perfect gunite pool allow for endless opportunity to enjoy indoor and outdoor living year round. Luxurious in its simplicity and understated style, this turn key home is all about the ease and convenience of living in the county, with the added benefit of a premier location close to Town.

Rare mid-century modern home nestled in the woods with complete privacy. Set on nearly 25 acres, this gem would be a perfect for an updated Dwell renovation. In true mid-century style, the layout maximizes space and minimizes waste. Open kitchen/dining/living area with random-shape stone floor and native stone fireplace with built in stone bench. Three bedrooms and two full baths. Vaulted ceilings throughout the home allow clerestory windows that offer abundant natural light. Rear deck overlooking pond. Down a spiral staircase, the family room with wet bar could be returned to a sleek and swank entertaining space. The private grounds include stone walls, mature trees and an oversized free-form gunite Scott pool. Great opportunity!
