Winner of the Home and Design Grand Award for Curb Appeal in 2024, this secluded mid-century modern home is like no other. Designed by award winning architect Ben Ames, this home is defined by its striking dual butterfly roofs, walls of floor to ceiling glass and seamless integration with nature. Built to commercial standards with metal frame, concrete slab, commercial grade windows and sliding doors by LaCANTINA Systems. Every line, every material and every texture has a purpose and a reason that connects the home with its surrounding environment.  It’s perfectly sited on a wooded 0.82-acre lot offering a private retreat that harmonizes effortless luxury with timeless elegance. Mature trees and professionally designed gardens frame this serene sanctuary, complete with meandering pathways, cedar-clad retaining walls, and glowing landscape lighting. 

Seamless integration of home and garden, supported by architectural elements that extend outward to embrace the landscape. Openings in the roofs create “tree views” on the sunrise terrace and integrate a decorative Japanese Maple between Dining Room and Porch.

Inside, over 3,800 square feet of bespoke living space invites you to discover impeccable craftsmanship and understated opulence. Italian porcelain floors with hydronic heat run through the main living, kitchen and dining areas, which are crowned by bamboo ceilings and a sleek linear gas fireplace. The chef’s kitchen is an entertainer’s dream, outfitted with Thermador appliances, two deep sinks, custom cabinetry, and dramatic Black Soapstone waterfall counters.

Three ensuite bedrooms provide exceptional comfort, including the serene primary suite, where blackout shades, a steam shower, a radiant-heated floor, and a stone soaking tub evoke the ambiance of a world-class spa.

Outside, the home has multiple terraces—each perfectly oriented to the light, from sunrise to sunset—offer stunning spaces to relax and entertain. A screened-in porch with radiant floors and a custom pavilion terrace are ideal for year-round enjoyment.

Meticulously designed for both aesthetic and functional excellence, this home features three independent heating and cooling systems, a whole-house sound system, and a carport with an EV charger. Every detail reflects thoughtful precision, from the Lutron dimmers to the finished basement with its own exterior access.

Ideally located just minutes from Old Town Alexandria, the Potomac River, and Washington, D.C., this property offers an extraordinary lifestyle of privacy, convenience, and architectural distinction.  Truly one of a kind.
