This unique, custom contemporary home is situated on a dramatic cul-de-sac
lot in Glen Echo Heights, with a view towards the Potomac River. The heart of
the home is the amazing, glass atrium/great room with its fourteen feet tall plants
(which convey) and a view through the trees to the river. The kitchen is open
to the dining area and a family room, which is centered around a wood-burning
fireplace. The shatterproof glass walls produce a pleasant openness without any
feeling of being "lost in space." The floor plan is versatile with the
ability to isolate a one or two bedroom separate apartment on the lower level.
The outdoor spaces are remarkable, including the 35 foot upper deck, the lower
deck and the extensive hillside gardens. Quality design, materials and craftsmanship
combine to make this valuable home one of the most special opportunities you will
find. Enjoy!
Glen Echo Heights is a welcoming neighborhood of tall trees
and winding streets known for its diversity of architectural styles. Every home

Potomac River, between Massachusetts Avenue and Mac Arthur Boulevard, this area
of Bethesda is convenient to Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia and Montgomery
County, Maryland. Within walking distance are the C&O canal, historic Glen
Echo Park, the Mohican Swim club and the Sycamore Island Canoe club.
