This four-bedroom home tucked away on a Capitol Hill alley may be one of the more interesting newly-built residences to hit the market in the city in years.

The listing, designed by DC architect Jack Becker of BLDUS, has a striking horizontal profile and exterior siding of white oak, cork, and copper, behind which is a residence that seamlessly incorporates indoor/outdoor living.

Sixty feet of double-decker covered balconies, supported by native Eastern Red Cedar timbers, overlook a landscaped private courtyard, where locally-sourced Maryland stone and black locust pavers create a foundation for native plantings. A BAM-CORE DuoShear™ building envelope and an insulated concrete slab foundation ensures a fully comfortable, energy-efficient, and clean/healthy living space.

The main level of the home features polished concrete floors, a 14-foot restaurant-size kitchen island and a living/dining/hosting hall for comfortable living. Throughout the home, there are eight full-light glass atrium doors and 10 well-placed windows to capture light from all four sides of the residence. Connected to the West wing, there is an oversized and conditioned garage and/or studio.
