luxury contemporary houses for sale District of Columbia, United States

A bold architectural statement set against verdant parkland, 2676 Chain Bridge Road NW is a newly constructed modern estate designed by Patrick Brian Jones and built by Thorsen Construction. Six bedrooms, six full and two half baths across 9,300 finished square feet, the residence sits at the intersection of sustainability and site integration, uniting refined contemporary design with advanced building systems. Automatic gates open to a 0.46-acre parcel at the convergence of Berkley, Palisades, and Wesley Heights, one of Washington's most sought-after addresses. The home settles into the natural grade, its exterior a considered interplay of thermally modified wood siding, Viroc concrete panels, and insulated aluminum. Expansive walls of thermally broken aluminum-framed glass by Western and Windsor Window Systems dissolve the boundary between interior and landscape. A pivoting mahogany slab door opens to soaring ceilings and light that reaches every level. Glass surrounds the great room, where a linear fireplace anchors a full feature wall beneath a raindrop chandelier. The dining room balances formality with everyday livability, its sliding doors opening to wooded surroundings. Nearby, a glass-enclosed wine room, temperature- and humidity-controlled with custom glazing and bespoke racking, reads as sculpture. The chef's kitchen pairs dual islands with custom walnut cabinetry and a professional-grade appliance suite. A cantilevered breakfast nook occupies the bay window, and the adjacent family room opens directly to the outdoors. A fully integrated Lutron lighting control and shade system disappears into the ceiling plane, preserving clean sightlines, while integrated audio and a private elevator complete the home's union of design and technology. At the top of a glass-enclosed staircase, the primary suite floats among the treetops. A private balcony extends the bedroom, and the spa-inspired bath offers a custom walnut double vanity, separate makeup counter, veined marble, frosted glass shower, and a freestanding tub set before an oversized window. A double-height dressing room with floating island and custom cabinetry evokes a private atelier. Two secondary bedrooms share a sitting room, each with ensuite bath, walk-in closet, and private balcony. A second office completes the level. The residence accommodates extended family and guests three ways: a main-level office with full bath, an upper-level in-law suite with private kitchenette, and a lower-level guest suite with its own full kitchen. Also below, a wellness center with massage room, spa bath with sauna and steam shower, and a fitness room opening to the pool deck. A three-season room extends indoor-outdoor living, and a mudroom connects to the subterranean three-car garage. Outdoors, a resort-caliber lap pool and spa anchor an expansive terrace and deck. A large retractable awning shades the outdoor grilling station, creating multiple settings for al fresco entertaining. Engineered for efficiency, the home runs on geothermal hydronic radiant floor heating throughout, supported by a 40 kW solar array of more than 100 panels, 20 kW Enphase battery backup, Level 2 EV charger, and new 800-amp electrical service. The solar and battery system is owned outright, not leased, and conveys with the sale, delivering true energy independence and long-term cost efficiency. Executed with precision and vision, 2676 Chain Bridge Road NW is a rare modern estate in equal parts sustainable and sophisticated, a future-ready home in one of Washington's finest settings.
