In a city known for its historic architecture, architect Charles Warren has brought the sweeping, modern design of Malibu to DC, trading ocean views for tranquil sight lines in Rock Creek Park.
6940 Oregon Avenue sits among the woods on a third of an acre near the northwest corner of Rock Creek Park. With a terraced front yard and a striking exterior of Brazilian ipe and white concrete, the more than 6,000 square foot, seven-bedroom and seven-bath home was designed to pair dramatic architecture with comfortable everyday living.
6940 Oregon Avenue is available for $3.7 million through Compass agent Jaime Willis. For private showings by appointment, contact Willis at 202-494-1325 or jaime@compass.com.
The main level of the home stuns with a double-height foyer, heated travertine floors, an expansive custom kitchen, and a sculptural steel and Canadian birch staircase that serves as the home’s architectural centerpiece. Natural light pours through walls of glass, including a NanaWall and sliders that open to let the wooded outdoors in. A two-story fireplace anchors the formal living room, and an office and separate guest suite round out the main level.
The second level mixes gathering spaces and private retreats. Four bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, are arranged around a generous central lounge that looks down on the living spaces below. The primary suite occupies its own wing, with a private terrace facing the park, a spa-inspired bath and a spacious walk-in closet.
The top level offers a second office, a flexible exercise and wellness space, and a kitchenette that serves the rooftop terrace.
Outside, the home's California-inspired aesthetic comes fully to life. A lap pool, expansive patios, thoughtfully designed landscaping, and multiple terraces are ideal for entertaining or enjoying the peaceful landscape. The home also boasts a two-car garage and a long driveway.
6940 Oregon Avenue offers immediate access to miles of wooded trails while remaining convenient to Chevy Chase, Silver Spring, and downtown DC.
For more information or to tour 6940 Oregon Avenue, contact Compass agent, designer and entrepreneur, Jaime Willis. In addition to her work as a realtor, Willis offers full-service concierge support for homeowners looking to downsize, handling everything from packing, donations and moving logistics to buying and decorating a new home. She can be reached at 202-494-1325 or jaime@compass.com.
