An exceptionally designed, custom-built home, with forever views of the Potomac River valley, is now on the market.
5427 Potomac Avenue is the creative vision of District 495, GTM Architects, Studio Sophîste, and Richardson & Associates Landscape Architecture—a team uncompromising in its commitment to quality building. For this home, they’ve incorporated timeless architecture, high-end craftsmanship, innovative details and incredible outdoor spaces, just off of MacArthur Boulevard in Northwest DC.
5427 Potomac Avenue, which is hosting an open house this Sunday, September 27th (from noon to 3pm), boasts six ensuite bedrooms and spans nearly 9,000 square feet. It is listed for $6,750,000 and interested buyers can contact Lee Arrowood, listing agent and Principal of Arrowood Advisory at Compass, at lee.arrowood@compass.com or 202-251-3175, for more information.
This home was designed with both privacy and natural beauty in mind. Located directly across the street from protected land, the builders went to great lengths to make sure that the interior finishes—such as natural stone, seven-inch white oak flooring and lots of glass—paired well with the natural environment. They brought the outdoors in with expansive Loewen wood windows, French doors that frame valley views, and an upper-level sky lounge, complete with a 15-foot panoramic, bifold window.
Inside, 5427 Potomac Avenue’s four thoughtfully-conceived levels are connected by an architectural staircase and an elevator. In addition to the six ensuite bedrooms, the home offers a private library, multiple powder rooms, a dedicated wellness studio, dual laundry rooms and ample formal and informal gathering spaces.
Prospective buyers can expect additional high-end finishes, including custom millwork, TruStile solid-core doors, custom cabinetry, a 48-inch Wolf dual-fuel range, integrated 60-inch Sub-Zero refrigeration and an expansive butler's pantry with wine column.
Built on an unusually large lot, the home also features extensive outdoor space—with significant landscaping and bluestone terraces—and a two-car garage.
District 495 also invested heavily in high-performance building with ZIP System construction, extensive waterproofing, comprehensive sound insulation, five-zone climate control, Energy Recovery Ventilation (ERV) and CAT7 wiring. Integrated infrastructure for automated shades, security and audiovisual systems are already in place, and the home is plumbed and wired for a future pool, if the owner decides to install one.
5427 Potomac Avenue is just minutes from Georgetown, downtown DC, neighborhood shopping along MacArthur Boulevard and miles of walking and cycling trails.
