Best New Listings: A Modern Mansion in Spring Valley
In this week’s Best New Listings, UrbanTurf looks at a three-bedroom in Michigan Park, an updated rowhouse in Mount Pleasant and a modern renovation in Spring Valley.

A Jaw-Dropping Renovation in Spring Valley
This 1954 six-bedroom home was completely renovated and expanded by architect Robert Gurney. The listing’s front facade appears somewhat like that of its neighbors, but that’s where the similarities stop. The back of the house is characterized by large panes of glass, tiered hardscaping, gardens and indoor/outdoor living spaces that seem more like something out of a luxe cabin getaway than a DC house. There’s a pool connected to the home by a glass walkway (the floor is heated and the space is sealed to the outdoors) and a screened-in porch with a fireplace. Inside are six bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, along with a piano hall and an office with floor to ceiling glass windows.

- Bedrooms: Six
- Bathrooms: 5.5

A Three-Bedroom Near Michigan Park with a Cozy Interior
Parts of this three-bedroom home that’s situated between Michigan Park and Woodridge have been redone to create a more open and inviting interior, with a large and connected downstairs living space. There’s an eat-in space off the galley-style kitchen, which could use some work. The home has nice yard out back, and downstairs, the basement is finished with a fireplace.

An Updated Rowhouse in Mount Pleasant
This updated Mount Pleasant rowhouse has a great ground floor with a large living room, a separated dining room and an updated kitchen. A screened-in porch off the kitchen overlooks a flagstone patio. The basement has been redone and one of the beds and baths is downstairs. Like a lot of Mount Pleasant rowhouses, the bedrooms upstairs are fairly close together and share one bathroom.
