Whitman School District: Rarely available mid-century modern gem designed by an American Institute of Architects (AIA) architect, Eason Cross who worked as lead designer with Goodman. The outstanding design of this house brings the outside in and was methodically sited to allow access to the outdoors from every level and every living space. In this home, Cross's interplays of light and shadow through exposed trusses, creates soaring open spaces contrasting with the complex lines of the structural elements.

This house checks all the boxes: 4 big Bedrooms with ample closet space on the second floor. 2.5 Baths (the owners bathroom, recently updated, has a cathedral ceiling and skylight.) The long hallway connecting the bedrooms has vaulted ceilings lit by both a skylight and two floor to ceiling sliding glass doors on opposite sides: one leading to a balcony and the other to a deck -one of the several exterior patios surrounding the house. The eat-in kitchen was also updated with stylish backsplash, Stainless Steel appliances and fall quartz countertops, keeping intact the unique round edge of the wood cabinets.

Separate dining room and an ample living room with a wood fireplace has another set of sliding doors overlooking yet another patio to the front of the house. The ample family room next to the kitchen feels like a hidden niche looking up to a fern garden and has new recessed lights and a modern entertaining set.

Located in a cul-de-sac: 1.7 miles to downtown Bethesda, 0.3 miles to public transport and blocks away to the Merry Mack park with tennis courts and trails. Mature trees and quiet surroundings. Easy commute to DC and easy access to I495.
