Luxury + Modern + Detached Residences

For some real estate buyers in the Washington Metro area, nothing but a luxury modern home will do. It’s a significant part of the American dream for enthusiasts of newer modern designs as well as classic mid-century modern architecture, and a quest that has become more challenging with rising prices and densely populated landscapes. In many urban neighborhoods, stylish condos and townhouses for sale are a more practical alternative to detached single-family homes.

But challenging does not mean impossible, especially when it comes to more suburban neighborhoods in the northern parts of DC, as well as Bethesda and Rockville in Maryland, Alexandria and Arlington in Virginia, and the upscale community of McLean in Fairfax County. Those locations are just a starting point, with a myriad of options in and around the nation’s capital.

A Wealth of Choices in Washington Metro

What defines a luxury modern home for sale? The answer lies in the eye of the beholder, and can be further defined by location and price, especially when comparing various parts of the country. A couple million bucks won’t even sneak you a peek at a 1960s era modernist home in Beverly Hills, California, for instance. Fortunately, your buck goes a lot further in and around the DC area. That same $2 million or less will bring up a rich smorgasbord of gleaming hardwood floors, gourmet kitchens, giant windows looking out at lush yards and other luxurious appointments in the Washington Metro region.

From dollhouses to sprawling estates, there’s a wealth of choices for luxury homebuyers in Washington, DC, Northern Virginia, and parts of Maryland—these areas all being part of what is commonly referred to as Washington Metro. It is a part of the country that has deep historic roots, going back to early colonial settlers. As a result, you’ll have an unusually wide array of home styles to choose from on your real estate wish list. But some buyers are dedicated to more modern ethos.

Modern architecture holds a special place in the hearts of upscale design aficionados in the Washington area. With streamlined form and function, these homes can date back to the early modernist beginnings, through the mid-century movement, and right up to present day with numerous top architects working in and around the District. You’ll even find entire neighborhoods dedicated to the mid-century modern ethos, such as Hollin Hills in Alexandria, Lake Barcroft in Fairfax County, and enclaves like Hammond Hill, Hammond Wood, Carderock Springs, and Glen Echo Heights in Montgomery County.

When it comes to more traditional designs, there is seemingly no limit to the items on your menu. Common styles in the region include Victorian, Colonial Revival, English Tudor, Mediterranean, Arts and Crafts, Cape Cod, Split-level, Bungalow, Ranch, Contemporary, and much more. It can seem a bit overwhelming, but narrowing down search preferences by cost, size, and area, will start to bring a greater sense of focus. One thing you may notice during your search, is the bumper crop of listings in the highly desirable communities of McLean, Virginia and Bethesda, Maryland.

There are plenty of other neighborhoods to explore as well, as you consider the many luxury and modern homes for sale in Washington Metro. To learn more, call Andre Perez at District One Partners at Compass, (202) 400-3070.
