About this property
Luxury DC Home with Private Pool, Gym & Garden
Step into a professionally designed, Frank Lloyd Wright–inspired retreat nestled in the quiet elegance of North Portal Estates. This 3,500-square-foot home set on a 9,000-square-foot lot offers rare space, privacy, and elevated everyday living just minutes from the heart of Washington, DC.
The home features a seasonal private heated pool (late May–early September), lush garden surroundings, and multiple outdoor patios ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Inside, a light-filled double-height great room anchors the home, complemented by a spacious dining area and a fully stocked kitchen equipped with premium cookware and Ninja appliances, well suited for guests who enjoy cooking at home.
Every detail is intentional. Guests will find hotel-quality sheets, modern waffle bath towels made from 100% natural cotton with waffle weave, and organic spa-grade toiletries throughout the bathrooms. Furnishings are thoughtfully curated to balance comfort, functionality, and design.
The home includes three bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, along with a dedicated private office that features a sleeper-style sofa suitable for one additional guest. The lower level offers added flexibility with an L-shaped sectional, a sofa bed with memory foam mattress, TV lounge, laundry, and a separate entrance making the home especially well-suited for extended stays.
A private in-home gym is available, equipped for both cardio and strength training. Amenities include a treadmill, Peloton bike, squat rack with barbell and plates, adjustable bench, cable machine, free weights, stability balls, stretching equipment, and wall mirrors.
Perfectly located for both nature lovers and city explorers, the home sits steps from Rock Creek Park’s trails and green space, while remaining highly connected. Silver Spring Metro Station and I-495 are just minutes away, providing easy access to Downtown DC, major attractions, and surrounding neighborhoods without sacrificing peace and privacy.
Family and pet-friendly, this refined urban retreat is designed for guests who value space, design, and ease.

About the host
Hosted by Paola
We are design-driven hosts who believe a great stay is about more than a beautiful space, it’s about how it feels to live in it. As professionals who value thoughtful design, comfort, and hospitality, we’ve curated this home to offer the ease of a boutique hotel with the warmth of a real residence.
We enjoy hosting guests from around the world and take pride in creating an environment that feels calm, welcoming, and well prepared. From professionally selected furnishings to organic toiletries, premium linens, and a kitchen equipped for real cooking, every detail is intentional. We are attentive, responsive, and respectful of our guests’ privacy, and we aim to make each stay seamless, whether you’re visiting for work, family time, or rest.

Why they chose this property
North Portal Estates offers something rare in Washington, DC: a true sense of calm and space, surrounded by nature, while remaining exceptionally well connected. We chose this neighborhood for its tree-lined streets, architectural character, and immediate access to Rock Creek Park, where miles of trails, greenery, and fresh air are right outside the door.
At the same time, the location makes city life easy. The Silver Spring Metro Station and I-495 are just minutes away, providing quick access to Downtown DC, major museums, airports, and surrounding neighborhoods. It’s a place where you can start the morning with a walk in nature and be in the city shortly after—without sacrificing peace or privacy.

What makes this property unique
This home is unique because it was professionally designed and furnished as our own residence, not as a standard short-term rental. Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright principles, the split-level layout, natural light, and connection to the outdoors create a sense of flow and calm rarely found in urban homes.
Guests appreciate the seasonal private heated pool, multiple patios, Peloton-equipped gym, and flexible spaces for families, remote work, or extended stays. The kitchen is fully stocked with quality cookware and Ninja appliances, supporting guests who enjoy cooking rather than just reheating. High-end sheets, plush towels, and organic spa-grade toiletries elevate everyday routines into a comfortable, hotel-quality experience.
Most of all, the home balances design, functionality, and location, offering a peaceful retreat that feels personal, well cared for, and deeply connected to the city.
