✉️ Want to forward this article? Click here.
This week's Best New Listings includes a home in Potomac that was built without nails or screws, a colorful condo with banana wallpaper and a clean-cut home off Benning Road.
Built Without Nails and Screws on Five Acres of Land
Sitting on just under five acres, this Potomac home was built using the "post and beam" method, which means no nails or screws were used, but rather exposed wooden beams were interlocked together. The cathedral a-frame design allows for soaring ceilings and tilted skylights throughout, and imported Peruvian and Mexican patterned tiles are found as accents throughout the home on the floors and walls. The open kitchen includes a herb garden in the corner and two doors that lead to the large patio. The upstairs living area has a large wood-burning fireplace with space for a formal dining room. The primary suite, also located on the top floor, includes ample closet space, multiple points of entry and a sliding barn door that leads to a bathroom with double vanity sinks and a glass waterfall shower.
