Private Residence
Bethesda, MD
Nestled into a compact urban lot, this two-story contemporary custom home maximizes available space with an open floor plan and indoor/outdoor areas across multiple levels. The 11-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass create an open, airy atmosphere within the modest footprint, shaded by expansive front and rear covered porches and deep hip roof overhangs. The natural stone, wood, and stucco front façade transitions to full-height walls of glass at the rear, featuring expansive multi-slide doors that open onto the screened porch and dining terrace, leading down to the grill terrace and fire pit seating area below. Terraced rear patios bring the backyard closer to the first-floor level, enhancing functionality and ease of use. A central highlight visible upon entry, the open riser floating mono stringer staircase with a glass railing ascends to a second floor, offering 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, a laundry room, and a rear roof deck, providing additional outdoor living space on a limited lot with a modest backyard.
