8522 Forest St, Annandale, VA 22003

A Rare Opportunity: This is a unique chance to own a mid-century gem! A renowned local architect's personal residence of over sixty-five years is now available for purchase. This private and serene home is sited on a natural rise and set well back from the street on a double lot. It is well buffered by large azaleas and mature trees, boasting a woodland setting known throughout Annandale neighborhoods. The property consists of three separate parcels and there is the possibility of an additional building site. This first-generation example of modernism is truly an architect's treasure. Designed and constructed by the owner/architect, each room captures private views of nature while harnessing the natural light, color and cool breezes through large areas of glass. Deep roof overhangs complement the natural aesthetic while natural brick and cedar complete the design. The builder's craftsmanship is seen throughout the home's natural materials and custom woodwork and cabinetry. As discerning modernists are well aware, there are very few chances to purchase original houses of this era, created with such attention to detail and thoughtfulness. Grab this opportunity while you can!
