Designed and built in 1958 by a mechanical engineer as his own home—and on the market for only the second time in its history—this midcentury-modern gem at 9116 Levelle Drive in Chevy Chase, Maryland, is being touted for its craftsmanship, detail, and materials.
The five-bedroom, three-bathroom, 3,375 square-foot home sits on .89 acres, and while its floor-to-ceiling windows allow for an abundance of natural light, the lot’s mature trees provide privacy. Exposed ceiling beams and a soaring wood fireplace (one of the home’s three) are focal points of the main floor, which also houses an eat-in kitchen, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms—including one with a salmon-pink tile wall and another with an aqua-blue palette. Downstairs, a walk-out lower level is home to two more bedrooms, another full bathroom, a family room, a laundry room, and an office space. Other highlights include a fenced-in pool and a two-car carport.
The home is listed for $1,445,000 by Mandy Mills of Compass. See the photos of the home below.
