7950 West Beach Drive NW
This Week’s Find is a sprawling, 3,601-square foot home close to Rock Creek Park.
Custom built for the lot, this contemporary home has a layout that strays from the ubiquitous right angles that fill most modern homes. This home is full of odd corners, with some rooms that look more triangular and hexagonal than square. Many of the rooms take advantage of the views into Rock Creek Park, and decks and a patio extend into the woodsy quarter-of-an-acre lot.
UrbanTurf also liked the many living areas throughout the home, including a spacious family room, living room and den.
According to the listing, the original owner has been living in and updating this home since it was built in 1966; while there are a few dated elements, the home appears to be in very good condition, particularly considering the low price per square foot of $222. More photos and details below.
