This chic contemporary home was designed by the highly regarded architect Luis "Lucho" Vera as a dream home for his family, in a classic mid-century style. Echoing the work of the many great modernist architects with whom the owner/architect associated, the house has a refined and unique design - and is built around a private central courtyard with primarily main level living. Constructed in 1965 on a large 11,245 square foot lot facing Hutchins Place and backing to Bending Lane, in Washington's prestigious Palisades neighborhood, the residence encompasses 4811 total square feet, and has been continuously lived in, enjoyed and lovingly maintained by the architect's family. This first offering of the notable property provides the buyer the opportunity to enjoy a design rare to the Washington market, and to delight in the sleek lines, large windows, easy flow, and natural beauty of the property. At the center of the residence, a large living area provides space for conversation and views of the central courtyard with its large brick terrace and specimen trees. The spacious, efficient, delightful kitchen opens to a breakfast area, an outdoor area for grilling and entertaining, and a dining room. Beyond another open sitting area, the home's main level offers four full bedrooms and 2.5 full baths. The exceptional primary bedroom suite enjoys its own private courtyard, bath, closets, and entry hallway lined with bookshelves. The lower level of the home provides a world of space including an above-ground bedroom, full bath, laundry room and ample storage space, and walks out to the oversized two-car garage. A large back yard with long driveway connects with Bending Lane, adding extra value. Every element of the residence reflects the owner's careful aesthetic and influence by his friends and peers - including Le Corbusier, Oscar Niemeyer, Edward Durrell Stone, Hector Valdes Phillips and Lewis Mumford - with whom he studied and worked as an architect and city planner on such projects as the city plan of Bogota, the state capital at Chandigarh, India, and the community of Ixtapa, Mexico, as well as Alexandria, Virginia. Enjoy your visit to this unique home - we are sure you will be delighted!
