About this property

Private mid-century modern haven just 5 miles from DC

Come enjoy our super private, fully renovated "Mid-Century Modern Compound" in the charming and historic neighborhood of Hammond Wood, located just a short 5 mile drive from the Washington, DC border and one mile from the Wheaton Metro stop. Originally designed by renowned architect Charles Goodman (who also designed the iconic terminal building for the Washington National Airport), this 2-bedroom/1-bathroom home has been meticulously restored by Cook Architecture. The result is a comfortable balance of contemporary functionality and original design elements that pays homage to the home's significant history.

Nestled amidst mature trees, manicured gardens, and singing birds, the property offers unparalleled privacy, with a fully fenced-in yard that boasts a fire pit, perfect for cozy evenings. Inside, the galley-style kitchen is fully equipped with brand new Poggenpohl cabinets, sleek quartz countertops, elegant walnut shelving, Bosch appliances, and comfortable seating for two at the bar. The living room features an eye-catching stone floor with radiant heating and large TV. The bedrooms are furnished with queen-sized beds and cork flooring. The modern bathroom has a comfortable walk-in shower.

Additionally, the property includes a separate studio structure in the backyard, although it is currently unavailable for guest use. We hope to open it up again in the future.

We will share our favorite local spots for dining, shopping, and attractions, especially in nearby Kensington, Bethesda, Garrett Park, and more.

Please note that the maximum occupancy for this property is five people. Come experience mid-century modern for yourself!

Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Michael

He and his team have designed more than 150 residential, faith-based, and community projects in Washington D.C., Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New York, California, Arizona, and Maine.

Why they chose this property

This mid-century modern house, initially designed by architect Charles Goodman and fully renovated by our architecture firm, is full of glass, wood, and brick. The home was purposefully sited on the lot in a specific way that creates privacy, maximizes sun exposure, and preserves trees and native plants. We are big fans of Goodman's, and we have renovated over 35 of his houses over the years. Meant to be a small starter home when it was built in the 50s, the house's 900 sq.ft. feels simultaneously warm and comfortable while modern, open, and airy.

What makes this property unique

Our property stands out for its architectural significance, and beyond that, the back courtyard is a truly exceptional feature. It offers an unparalleled sense of privacy, creating a haven of tranquility just moments away from the bustling energy of DC. This courtyard isn't just an outdoor space; it feels like an extension of the home, an additional room where guests can unwind and connect with the serene surroundings. It's a unique blend of architectural charm and an oasis-like atmosphere that our guests consistently find memorable and delightful.
