luxury contemporary houses for sale Montgomery County, United States

Overlooking the Potomac River in scenic Glen Echo, Wissioming Road is a modernist masterpiece designed by the critically acclaimed Robert M. Gurney, FAIA. In the architect’s signature style, interconnected structures harmonize with the site’s natural topography to create a striking visual cohesion and uninterrupted views of the roaring river beyond. A spectacular addition by Christopher Tucker, constructed by Steve Howard of Square One Development, enhances Gurney’s original vision of Corten steel, rich wood, and expansive glass. The approach is both bold and intentional—anchored by a generous covered carport and an attached, heated four-car garage, offering exceptional space for the automobile enthusiast. A bridge crosses whimsical, High Line–inspired landscaping in the central courtyard, leading to the home’s dramatic main entrance. Inside, the main living area is a masterclass in luxurious minimalism. Slender steel window frames—laid out in a Mondrian-inspired pattern—frame sweeping views of the Potomac, while large, unbroken slabs of white terrazzo flooring reflect natural light to heighten the sense of space. Rich mahogany paneling conceals the television, and a floating bamboo vanity distinguishes the formal powder room. An adjacent screened-in porch with its own fireplace and television allows for four-season enjoyment. The chef’s kitchen is nestled beneath an upper-level mezzanine, illuminated by double-height, floor-to-ceiling windows with motorized shades. Sleek European Varenna by Poliform cabinetry conceals a suite of professional-grade Miele appliances, subtly accentuated by architectural Delta lighting. The space opens into a generous dining area, perfectly positioned to overlook the central courtyard and create a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. A full butler’s pantry with redundant appliances and access to the three-level elevator complete the main level. A floating steel staircase leads to the upper level, introduced by a frosted Shoji-paneled wall. Three secondary bedrooms—each with an ensuite bath and walk-in closet—are connected by a shared sitting room. The primary suite commands its own private wing, accessed via a floating glass bridge. Stained ebony floors and two private offices set the tone for the refined sanctuary that follows. Sweeping river views pour into the main sleeping area through floor-to-ceiling windows and continue onto the full-length private balcony, while custom blackout curtains allow for serene retreat. The limestone-clad bath is a study in indulgence, featuring a freestanding tub set against glass, a walk-in shower, sauna, and a separate dressing room. On the lower level, the main recreation area spans more than 52 feet. Polished concrete floors, a wet bar, and a temperature-controlled, illuminated 1,000-bottle wine cellar create an effortless environment for entertaining. In the opposite wing, a professional fitness center with padded flooring, its own HVAC system, and a Helo sauna connects to a fully self-sufficient guest suite complete with private bath, patio, and kitchenette. The lower level’s architectural pièce de résistance is a split-level library. A cozy upper-tier reading nook accesses a cantilevered glass bridge that overlooks the dramatic den below. An unbroken wall of built-ins spans both levels, anchored by a linear gas fireplace and double-height window wall with direct access to the lower patio. Out back, a magnificent 66-foot lap pool serves as the property’s showstopping centerpiece. A built-in grill and fireplace on the rear terrace facilitate al fresco entertaining, framed by dramatic views of the Potomac. An interconnected fortress of luxury, the residence features computer-controlled Lutron lighting, Sonos surround sound, Honeywell security, and video surveillance.

9119 Levelle Drive is a textbook showcase of cutting edge modernism. Designed in 2021 by the acclaimed Robert M. Gurney, FAIA and built by the renowned Peterson and Collins Builders, the extraordinary skill and craftsmanship is evident throughout and unparalleled. This singular home is yet another award-winning example of geometry, brilliant manipulation of light, artistic use of glass, and conformation with its natural surroundings. Prominently sited on a coveted lot of just under an acre, towards the end of a no-through road, the approaching driveway opens into a rectangular motor court. Two likewise rectangular volumes are situated in a narrow ‘V’ configuration, connected by a glass bridge housing the front door. A transverse gallery introduces the fully open concept main level by its informal spaces first. The chef’s kitchen anchors said space, blending design and function with floor-to-ceiling minimalist, light wood cabinetry concealing a comprehensive suite of commercial-grade appliances. An extraordinary oversized center island, clad in light stone slabs with integrated seating and waterfall edges, spans the entire length of the room. A flooring change from wood to tile, both outfitted with radiant heat, signifies the transition into the adjacent light-filled breakfast area. A generously proportioned, continuous living and dining area comprises the majority of the main level. The latter is backed by full-height panes of glass, letting in tranquil wooded views. The former, anchored by an abstract half-wood half-mosaic fireplace wall, interacts with said views via a wall of glass which can be opened to blur the relationship between indoor and outdoor living. The central staircase, artfully crafted from wood and glass, is both a showstopper and a structural feat, which connects all levels of the home. The upper level contains private quarters, including a stunning primary suite resting amidst the treetops. It features generous closet space with custom built-ins, and the ubiquitous spa-inspired bath with a soothing ambiance attributed to neutral woods and large panes of glass, as well as all the usual accoutrements. Secondary bedrooms are well-proportioned, luxuriously finished, and arranged so as to maximize privacy. Across the glass bridge is the second volume, clad in dark ground face block to contrast the main volume’s white stucco. On the ground level, it houses an oversized garage with a frosted glass door as well as a cozy living space. Upstairs is a fully self-sufficient apartment. The kitchen mirrors that of the main residence, with full-size SubZero and Viking appliances, and a peninsula island overlooking wooded views beyond the adjacent living area. A private bedroom featuring a large walk-in closet, as well as a luxurious fully-tiled bath complete the unit. Enclosed by full fencing constructed of mahogany and steel, the rear lawn comprises terraced outdoor living spaces designed to engage with the lot’s topography. They include dual-level patios with a fire pit, ideal for al fresco entertaining, dining, or lounging on a crisp autumn evening. Further beyond, private rolling hills are surrounded by total privacy. Convenient to the shopping, dining, and entertainment of both downtown Bethesda and Chevy Chase, as well as the Nature Conservatory and trails along Beach Drive and major commuter routes, the location is enviable. Not to be replicated in its architectural significance, 9119 Levelle Drive is a true one- of-a-kind offering.
