About this home
A bold architectural statement set against verdant parkland, 2676 Chain Bridge Road NW is a newly constructed modern estate designed by Patrick Brian Jones and built by Thorsen Construction. Six bedrooms, six full and two half baths across 9,300 finished square feet, the residence sits at the intersection of sustainability and site integration, uniting refined contemporary design with advanced building systems. Automatic gates open to a 0.46-acre parcel at the convergence of Berkley, Palisades, and Wesley Heights, one of Washington's most sought-after addresses. The home settles into the natural grade, its exterior a considered interplay of thermally modified wood siding, Viroc concrete panels, and insulated aluminum. Expansive walls of thermally broken aluminum-framed glass by Western and Windsor Window Systems dissolve the boundary between interior and landscape. A pivoting mahogany slab door opens to soaring ceilings and light that reaches every level. Glass surrounds the great room, where a linear fireplace anchors a full feature wall beneath a raindrop chandelier. The dining room balances formality with everyday livability, its sliding doors opening to wooded surroundings. Nearby, a glass-enclosed wine room, temperature- and humidity-controlled with custom glazing and bespoke racking, reads as sculpture. The chef's kitchen pairs dual islands with custom walnut cabinetry and a professional-grade appliance suite. A cantilevered breakfast nook occupies the bay window, and the adjacent family room opens directly to the outdoors. A fully integrated Lutron lighting control and shade system disappears into the ceiling plane, preserving clean sightlines, while integrated audio and a private elevator complete the home's union of design and technology. At the top of a glass-enclosed staircase, the primary suite floats among the treetops. A private balcony extends the bedroom, and the spa-inspired bath offers a custom walnut double vanity, separate makeup counter, veined marble, frosted glass shower, and a freestanding tub set before an oversized window. A double-height dressing room with floating island and custom cabinetry evokes a private atelier. Two secondary bedrooms share a sitting room, each with ensuite bath, walk-in closet, and private balcony. A second office completes the level. The residence accommodates extended family and guests three ways: a main-level office with full bath, an upper-level in-law suite with private kitchenette, and a lower-level guest suite with its own full kitchen. Also below, a wellness center with massage room, spa bath with sauna and steam shower, and a fitness room opening to the pool deck. A three-season room extends indoor-outdoor living, and a mudroom connects to the subterranean three-car garage. Outdoors, a resort-caliber lap pool and spa anchor an expansive terrace and deck. A large retractable awning shades the outdoor grilling station, creating multiple settings for al fresco entertaining. Engineered for efficiency, the home runs on geothermal hydronic radiant floor heating throughout, supported by a 40 kW solar array of more than 100 panels, 20 kW Enphase battery backup, Level 2 EV charger, and new 800-amp electrical service. The solar and battery system is owned outright, not leased, and conveys with the sale, delivering true energy independence and long-term cost efficiency. Executed with precision and vision, 2676 Chain Bridge Road NW is a rare modern estate in equal parts sustainable and sophisticated, a future-ready home in one of Washington's finest settings.

About this home
Tucked discreetly along one of Cleveland Park’s most beautiful and storied streets, 3519 Lowell Street NW stands as a soon-to-be icon of timeless residential design, a breathtaking reimagining of a historic home that transcends renovation by establishing an identity both deeply rooted and quietly global. Originally constructed in 1916 as a classic American Four Square, long cited as an exemplar of the form, the residence has been meticulously re-envisioned. A comprehensive renovation, completed in 2023, honors its early 20th-century origins while introducing a refined sensibility shaped by years of living abroad, resulting in a home that feels simultaneously familiar and refreshingly modern. The transformation has garnered international recognition, including being the only North American renovation longlisted for the prestigious Dezeen Awards, and has been featured in national publications such as Dwell and Residential Design, as well as locally in Washingtonian Magazine and the Washington Business Journal, among others. Elevated above the street and approached with deliberate intention, the home enjoys a rare sense of privacy and presence, set apart from the rhythm of urban life. Positioned on an extraordinary double lot spanning 0.30 acres, the property offers a sense of openness and calm increasingly elusive within the city. Sweeping views of the Washington National Cathedral rise above curated gardens, mature trees, and a private meadow, creating a setting both serene and sophisticated. Indoor and outdoor spaces are equally suited to gathering and entertaining, offering the ease of living amid greenery, light, and carefully composed sightlines. The transformation, led by Colleen Healey Architecture in partnership with Lynley Ogilvie Landscape Design, conceived Hidden Meadow as a residence where architecture, landscape, and light are inseparable. A planted meadow framed by Corten planters creates a contemplative pause between the main house and a detached garage and pool house with guest suite above, forming a secluded courtyard rarely found in Washington. At the heart of the project is a deliberate interplay between preservation and invention. Historic sleeping porches were retained and reinforced, while a steel-framed rear volume introduces a luminous kitchen and dining space. Ten-foot sliding doors connect seamlessly to a screened porch with retractable screens and built-in heaters, extending living into the landscape. Subtle shifts in material from warm wood to smooth concrete mark the transition from historic to modern with clarity and intention. Inside, approximately 7,400 square feet reveal six en suite bedrooms, each with its own private bath, along with two additional suites with full baths and kitchenettes, supporting true multigenerational living. Two offices and a sequence of living spaces offer flexibility for work, study, or leisure. The original three-story staircase anchors the home, while new interiors introduce sculptural plaster forms, gentle curves, and a serene palette of natural materials. The lower level includes a fully equipped gym, while features such as dual laundry areas enhance everyday convenience. Skylights and soaring ceilings with exposed beams amplify light and openness, while reflective surfaces extend garden views deep into the interior. The exterior blends Accoya siding and expansive glass with the original façade, complemented by a detached garage and pool house. Lush gardens frame a heated pool and outdoor living areas, ensuring privacy for summer gatherings, all within walking distance to top schools and parks. 3519 Lowell Street NW is not simply restored, but redefined, a rare synthesis of history, global influence, and modern craftsmanship.
