Presenting one of Kent's most architecturally compelling contemporary residences, thoughtfully designed to dissolve the boundary between architecture and nature. Offering 5 bedrooms, 5 full and 3 half baths across more than 7,000 square feet, this extraordinary home unfolds over four meticulously crafted levels, where walls of glass fill the interiors with natural light and frame tranquil woodland views from nearly every room. Designed for both elegant entertaining and effortless daily living, the expansive open floor plan is defined by soaring ceilings, clean contemporary lines, and luxurious finishes. A sculptural floating staircase and private elevator connect every level, while multiple terraces seamlessly extend the living spaces into the surrounding tree canopy. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen features an oversized island, premium appliances, and exceptional finishes, opening to formal and informal gathering spaces. The second level offers three generously sized bedroom suites, each with its own ensuite bath, as well as an office. The primary suite serves as a private retreat, surrounded by mature trees and featuring a spa-inspired bath. The top level provides a spacious fourth bedroom, an additional office or flex space, a full bath, powder room, and direct access to a spectacular rooftop terrace nestled among the trees. The walk-out lower level is designed for entertaining, offering an expansive recreation room with a custom wet bar, a fifth bedroom with an ensuite bath, a powder room, abundant storage, and direct access to the outdoor living spaces. A two-car garage completes this exceptional offering. Thoughtfully positioned on a quiet, tree-lined street in one of Washington's most sought-after neighborhoods, the home offers remarkable privacy while remaining just moments from neighborhood parks, dining, shopping, and downtown DC. This is a rare architectural offering where exceptional craftsmanship, contemporary design, and an extraordinary connection to nature exist in perfect harmony.
