Opportunity knocks with this eco-forward, DETACHED new construction home that embodies the perfect balance of cutting-edge design, sustainability, and urban living. Tucked away in a quiet Park View alley, this home is as much a work of art as it is a sanctuary, offering over 3,200 square feet of finished above-grade space paired with 588 square feet of private exterior areas. The craftsmanship and quality are simply unmatched for the current price point, especially when considering today's soaring costs for materials and construction.

Step inside and prepare to be wowed by soaring 10’ ceilings on the main level, with the second floor boasting equally impressive 9’ ceilings. Flooded with natural light thanks to the Pella insulated window/wall system, the southern face of the expansive living and dining areas seamlessly connects to a 46-foot-long covered patio, ideal for indoor-outdoor entertaining. The chef’s kitchen is a showstopper with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops that mimic the elegance of soapstone, a waterfall edge, stainless steel appliances, induction range, and a sleek, camouflaged pantry tucked neatly under the stairs. This level also includes a flexible space accessed via French doors that could be your next office, playroom, or even a guest bedroom, paired with a full bathroom.

Ascend the handcrafted staircase, where natural light pours in from a massive skylight, illuminating the solid white oak railings and floors. On the west end, the luxurious primary suite awaits, offering a spa-like bathroom with heated floors, three oversized closets, and a private covered balcony for your morning coffee. On the east side, a potential ADU, nanny, or guest suite with its own entrance, wet bar, full bathroom, and balcony opens a world of possibilities. Between these two suites are three additional bedrooms and two full baths, all featuring a mix of Anderson casement and picture windows to frame the home’s serene surroundings.

Beyond the visible luxuries, this home’s eco-forward design is something to be admired. Built using the BamCore Prime Wall system, a unique bamboo structural system, this home reduces thermal bridging by 90% compared to traditional framing, while also sequestering more carbon than is emitted during the entire construction process. The house also features real cedar beams, a rare feature in DC construction. The dual-zoned, high-velocity heat pump provides exceptional climate control and fresh air circulation. Plus, the garage is pre-wired for a Level 2 vehicle charger, and the roof is primed for solar installation.

This home sits in a quiet alley, offering the feel of an urban retreat with friendly neighbors who regularly connect at the Old Soldiers Home Golf Course and Wangari Gardens. You’re a short walk to Columbia Heights and Petworth Metro stations, the bustling new McMillan Reservoir District, and a wealth of nearby amenities including Hook Hall, St. Vincent Wine, Aurora Market, Call Your Mother Deli, and The Midlands Beer Garden. Whether you’re looking for community, convenience, or a one-of-a-kind home that blends sustainability with luxury, this home has it all.
