Property Description
A Jewel in One of Washington's Most Treasured Enclaves, homes like this are seldom offered in Somerset, with architectural significance, privacy, and thoughtful design. Set back from the street, the residence unfolds through a luminous sequence of layered spaces, opening to sweeping garden views and a direct connection to protected parkland beyond. The architecture balances generous scale with distilled simplicity, following a layout that is both intuitive and intentional. When tasked with expanding the original structure, Mark McInturff, FAIA, one of Washington's most esteemed residential architects, introduced a sculptural, two-story gallery that serves as both lightwell and corridor. His addition includes elevated bedroom suites, refined material transitions, and a level of detail that earned five architectural awards, securing the home's place among the region's finest modern residences. Inside, bridgeways connect private quarters above, while daylight animates every level. The home's presence is composed and deeply responsive to its site and surroundings. With six bedrooms, five bathrooms, two family rooms, two laundry areas, and a walkout lower level complete with a secondary kitchenette, the layout offers exceptional flexibility, well-suited for guests, extended family, or creative use of space. Located in the Town of Somerset, a coveted enclave within Chevy Chase, this home benefits from a setting rooted in civic pride and community tradition. As an incorporated town, not a homeowner's association, Somerset independently maintains its pool, tennis courts, streets, and community events. McInturff's architectural imprint is woven throughout the neighborhood, including several private commissions and the design of the community's own pool house. This is a rare opportunity to own a work of architecture in a place where people choose to stay. Floor plans and video tours are available upon request.
