Welcome to this stunning 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom Mid-Century Modern residence nestled in the highly sought-after Riverwood neighborhood of North Arlington, 3 miles and one stoplight from Washington, D.C. This architectural gem with expansive windows sits on a vast 1.362-acre lot and offers a unique sanctuary where design and nature converge. Designed by John S. Samperton, an apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright, it stands high above the rock cliffs of the Windy Run waterfall trail, offering a private path to the park and 180-degree forest views. Also nearby is the Custis bike trail. House Features & Tranquil Outdoors The home is a testament to seamless integration with nature. Lush Backyard & Integration: The expansive property feels like a secluded retreat. Open your windows to the gentle cascade of your own personal waterfall feeding a large, natural stacked stone pond with waterlilies, extending into gardens and forest. Enjoy outdoor living on the two-level rear bluestone patio, grilling patio, or under the Wisteria-covered pergola. The property adjoins Windy Run Park and extends into the Chesapeake Bay Preservation area, ensuring unrivaled privacy. Luxury Interior Amenities: Thoughtful Materials: Features include unique cork flooring, solid walnut cabinetry, cypress wood walls and beautiful oak flooring, consistent with the architect’s vision. Kitchen & Dining: The gourmet kitchen (updated in 2006) retains its character with an original mid-century stainless steel range hood and a classic George Nelson Ball Clock. Ambiance & Warmth: Two wood-burning fireplaces with striking stacked stone Prairie Style Masonry walls serve as focal points. Open Design: Enjoy an open plan with high ceilings and vast window walls. Integrated Living: The former screened porch was fully renovated in 2006 into an interior sunroom. Premium Detailing: Includes Pella windows, full attic insulation, and updates to the electrical system, foundation, and drainage (2006). Architectural Design: A Frank Lloyd Wright Legacy ️ Samperton’s design is deeply inspired by Wright’s Prairie Style, perfectly harmonizing the home with its environment. Echoing Nature: The design masterfully brings nature inside. Cantilevered piers visually echo the tall trees, while the immense Prairie Style Masonry walls at the center make the structure feel built directly against the cliff face. Light Control: The sweeping overhang of the eaves and slate roof is ingeniously designed to provide cool shade in summer yet flood the rooms with warm sunshine in winter. Atmospheric Lighting: Calming cove lighting mimics sun filtering through the forest leaves. Distinctive Details: The home features signature angles, cantilevered pier columns, and masonry detailing. Original architectural drawings are available to the new owner, connecting them to the home's distinguished lineage. Garages & Exterior Notes An attached oversized two-car garage provides secure parking and storage. There is also a detached one-car garage (sold as-is) and dedicated outdoor parking spaces. The exterior features Prairie Style masonry planter boxes. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history in a coveted, scenic location.
