Coming Soon; inquire today. This is the idyllic modern home we dream of. Initially designed by celebrated architect Donald Lethbridge and completed in 1953, it took full advantage of a premium elevated site in North Arlington on more than half an acre, providing seasonal skyline views into Washington, DC, the National Cathedral, and the Rosslyn Skyline. The architecture is a pinnacle example of mid-century modernism adored worldwide. A substantial project finished roughly ten years ago, the homeowner, an accomplished architect in Washington, DC, renovated the home with total sympathy for the original design and materials, completing a breathtaking contemporary home; it's a case study for the modern MCM. Every delightful amenity and touch of whimsy is subtle and elegant. This is a robust home, built of concrete, brick, and steel, with remarkable spans of insulated linear glass; therefore, the interior scale is deceptive and incredibly generous, nearing 5,500 square feet. The living areas offer open connections inside and to the outdoors, with modular opportunities to enclose individual spaces for controlled comfort and formality. All of the bedrooms have beautiful moments, especially the gorgeous sun-kissed primary suite. Added lifestyle amenities include the office in the trees, a home fitness room, and a speakeasy-like bar. Any great house best enjoys its site when the architecture is deliberate. Living in this home is the departure that we all long for.
