A two story gallery wrapped around an indoor koi pond forms the center of this quietly remarkable residence, where water, light, and movement shape the experience of the home from within. Concealed within more than eight wooded acres, the approach unfolds gradually through dense trees before the architecture reveals itself, defined by strong horizontal lines, cantilevered forms, and a natural material palette that sits comfortably within the landscape. Inside, the plan balances openness with clarity, offering a rare combination of architectural intent and everyday livability. Formal living and dining rooms, expansive gathering spaces, a dedicated office, and a well appointed kitchen with adjoining breakfast area are arranged with purpose and ease. The upper level includes four generous en suite bedrooms, including a guest suite with a striking elevated terrace positioned within the treetops. Constructed with steel framing and expansive structural glass, the home reflects a level of engineering integrity that supports its architectural ambition. Designed and built by local builder and engineer Jack Wilmore, whose background is rooted in generations of residential design and construction, the house carries a clear sense of authorship and discipline throughout. Additional features include a three car garage, multiple outdoor terraces, and a setting that offers both privacy and proximity to the Washington metropolitan area. A distinctive offering for those who value architecture that is considered, enduring, and deeply livable. A detailed video is available by searching the property address.
