The living room at the newly completed and staged K-Town Twins home.

In Kensington Heights, Maryland, where new and modern homes are few and far between, builder Robert Conner Homes and Sterling Mehring are introducing the K-Town Twins: two newly built, detached single-family homes abutting Kensington Heights Park (map).

While nearby Bethesda is ranked among the most expensive neighborhoods in the country, the K-Town Twins are sized and finished like Bethesda homes but are priced competitively in the upper $700s and mid $800s.

The first of two homes that make up K-Town Twins in Kensington, MD.

Working with architect Gregory Sparhawk of GPS Designs Architecture, the team has already completed and fully staged one of the homes, which includes five bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms and a finished basement. This home is move-in ready and open for tours, and is selling for $849,315.

Tours are available by appointment and Mehring will be holding the home’s first open houses this coming Sunday July 26th and, availability permitting, the following Sunday August 2nd from 1:00-4:00pm. For a tour appointment, please call Sterling Mehring at 301-807-9200 or email him at yosterling@gmail.com. For a virtual tour, visit www.20895.com (20895 is the zip code for Kensington, MD).

The second and yet-to-be-completed K-Town Twins home will deliver during the first week of October, which means the buyer will have a unique opportunity to make a variety of design decisions -- from finishes to appliances to colors -- before interiors are finalized. This home includes four bedrooms and three and a half baths and is priced at $799,000.

The K-Town Twins both boast expansive, flat backyards (a rarity in the neighborhood) and back decks, as well as covered front porches. Interiors have tons of natural light with lots of big windows, nine-foot ceilings and open floor plans. Other unique design features include walk-in closets in each bedroom (and two walk-in closets in master bedrooms); coffered ceilings; large soaking tubs and Carrera marble frameless showers; two-car garages; extra-wide stairways; and large pantries.

Situated at the end of a cul-de-sac that borders the park, the homes are located in a particularly low-key, quiet neighborhood -- even though they are just moments from the town of Kensington and the Kensington Marc Train station.

If the K-Town Twins sound appealing, stay tuned also for Sterling Mehring’s next project, this one in Silver Spring. His five townhomes there -- one of which will deliver at the end of September -- will be modeled after the K-Town Twins.
