Friday’s “If I Had $2 Million” Listing

by Mark Wellborn

image

This week’s If I Had $2 Million listing is a five-bedroom contemporary home tucked away in Massachusetts Avenue Heights near Rock Creek Park. The garden was designed and personally built by the former head gardener of the British Embassy. The property itself features an expansive living room with a fireplace, a deck overlooking a large garden, a huge table-space kitchen and an enormous master bedroom with a huge wall of windows that looks down to the trees outside. The home has a number of other rooms and amenities as well as parking for 6 to 8 cars, but the true value of this property is how secluded it is, making it a rare find within the borders of DC. More details and photos below.
