Description

A hidden haven for modern living | mid-century modern | 4br | 3ba | pool | 0.45 acres

some homes impress at first glance. others reveal their magic slowly—and stay with you forever. 5116 baltimore ave is the latter. from the front, this mid-century modern classic keeps a quiet profile: clean lines, original redwood siding, and a canopy of mature trees offer an elegant nod to its architectural roots. but step inside, and you’ll feel it—that unmistakable “wow” moment as light pours through expansive windows and the home unfolds into a stunning, secluded retreat.

designed in 1948 by diegert & yerkes, the celebrated architects behind the national arboretum, this home was featured in better homes & gardens in 1954 for its graceful lines and visionary design. today, it’s not just a beautiful home—it’s a sanctuary.

the main entry level is anchored by a sun-drenched living room with a gas fireplace and built-in bookshelves. the fully reimagined open-concept kitchen—featuring slate-toned cabinetry and stainless steel appliances—flows seamlessly into the dining and living areas, creating the natural heart of the home where meals, conversations, and everyday family life take shape. sliding glass doors open to a tranquil side terrace, where al fresco dinners are the norm.

two generously sized bedrooms, a full porcelanosa bathroom with dual vanity, and a charming powder room complete this level—perfect for guests, family, or flexible living.

the garden level—fully above ground and seamlessly connected to the backyard—offers another spacious layer of living. at its center, an expansive family room with a real wood-burning fireplace and oversized picture windows invites movie nights, game days, or quiet mornings with coffee and the paper. step directly onto the rear terrace and into a lush, private backyard bordered by mature trees, bamboo, and birdsong—your own personal retreat in the city.

the primary suite is a true sanctuary, complete with warm acoustic wood paneling, a built-in fireplace, floating nightstands with pendant lights, and a spa-inspired ensuite bath with oversized walk-in shower and dual porcelanosa vanity. a second bedroom on this level is ideal for guests or creative space, with its own beautifully preserved full bath featuring rare red oak paneling and an elegant tub-shower combo. a laundry and storage room complete the floor.

outside, the magic continues. with over 19,000 square feet across two legal plats, the backyard is an oasis—ideal for quiet reflection, lively gatherings, or full-on pool days with friends. the updated in-ground swimming pool is long enough for laps and framed by a spacious deck, lush landscaping, and a sense of total privacy. whether you're sipping tea on the balcony or hosting a sunset dinner around the outdoor fireplace, this home elevates every moment.

located in the desirable westgate neighborhood—just over the dc line—the home offers easy access to friendship heights, bethesda, and scenic trails along little falls parkway. the community is filled with parks, playgrounds, and top-rated schools, making it as practical as it is beautiful.

whether you restore, expand, or simply settle in, 5116 baltimore ave is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle, a legacy, and a place where every day feels a little more meaningful.
