A Space Shuttle Pool House in Bethesda
Abutting the Little Falls Stream Valley Trail in Westmoreland Hills, this nearly symmetrical mid-century house was designed by William Bernoudy based on the space shuttle Columbia. Much of the house is arranged off the atrium-style room at the rear, which has a 40-foot pool and is surrounded by windows and sliding glass doors. The room is accessible from the family room, which has a fireplace, along with an atrium with flagstone flooring and a sunroom-style bay window. The owner's bedroom also has direct access to the pool room via its seating area. The lower level has a stone panel fireplace, a wet bar beneath a trellis, a wine cellar, storage rooms, and a bedroom suite. The house also has rear patios and gardens and a detached accessory building.

Three Units and Three Parking Spaces Off 16th Street
On the edge of Dupont Circle, this semi-detached turn-of-the-century rowhouse offers three separate units. The lower level is a one-bedroom unit, while the ground floor is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom unit with a private balcony off the rear bedroom. The uppermost unit has two levels, and the living room has a bay window and corner fireplace. A bright, wide galley kitchen has an exposed brick backsplash on one side and a black-and-white strip backsplash on the other. A few steps down, the family room has a brick accent wall, floor-to-ceiling built-ins flanking a floating fireplace, and tall glass french doors between matching windows, leading out to a balcony. Upstairs off the skylit landing, the owner's bedroom has access to a private balcony that also has stairs to the roof, and the second bedroom has a desk built into the bay window. The house also has a three-car parking pad off the alley; two of those spaces are currently rented out.
