Property Description

A Jewel in One of Washington’s Most Treasured Enclaves. Rarely does a home in Somerset offer this level of design, privacy, and architectural pedigree. Set back from the street with a private drive and garage, it opens through a sequence of light-filled, layered spaces, culminating in sweeping garden views and a direct connection to rare parkland beyond. The architecture balances generous scale with purposeful simplicity, unfolding in a clear and thoughtful layout. Tasked with expanding the original structure, Mark McInturff, FAIA, one of Washington’s most respected residential architects, introduced a sculptural, two-story gallery that serves as both corridor and lightwell, along with refined bedroom suites and elevated material transitions. The result earned five architectural awards and stands as one of the finest modern residences in the area. Inside, a long, gallery-like spine draws you toward framed views of nature. Bridgeways connect private quarters above, while daylight animates every level. The home’s presence is quiet, composed, and deeply rooted in its site, offering an increasingly rare serenity in the region. Located in the Town of Somerset, a coveted enclave in Chevy Chase, this home benefits from an exceptional setting where civic pride and thoughtful self-governance define daily life. Somerset maintains its streets, tennis courts, pool, and community events as an incorporated town, not a homeowners association. McInturff’s imprint on the neighborhood extends beyond this home, 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. Property Videos and Floor Plans available.
