A $9.5 million home in DC's Kent neighborhood -- which architect David Jameson described as "habitable art" -- has found a buyer. 

Set high above the street, 3131 Chain Bridge Road NW (map) is a six-bedroom home wrapped in custom bronze panels and English clay brick tiles with a 10-foot-by-8-foot wide glass front door that swings on a pivot. Jameson built and designed the home which was listed with HRLS Partners of TTR Sotheby's International Realty.

The main level of the 9,100 square-foot home features a two-story living room with a fireplace made of custom hot rolled steel, as well as a family room and a chef’s kitchen that are framed by 11-foot-by-17-foot windows and sliding doors that lead out to the saltwater pool, rear gardens, and Battery Kemble Park beyond the property line. 

The home has a custom elevator and a humidification system for art work. The uppermost level consists of rooms that could be bedrooms or an office, as well as a lounge with sliding glass doors that lead out to a wrap-around terrace and green roof, so the space could serve as an indoor/outdoor living space.

The lowest level can serve as a garage for upwards of 8 cars, but it also could double as an event space given that it is climate controlled and has twelve-foot ceilings and programmable custom lighting.
