About this 5 bedroom 5 bath house

JAW-DROPPING Frank Lloyd Wright–inspired masterpiece perfectly perched on a magnificent two acre private, tranquil and lushly landscaped home-site. This architectural gem blends dramatic design with effortless livability located in Norbeck Knolls, Montgomery County's best kept secret. Two main level primary suites (a rare find) are situated on opposite wings of the home and are ideal for out of town guests, multi generational living, or simply unparalleled convenience for large family gatherings. A suite of three bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms (one with a compartmentalized tub await on the upper level, each thoughtfully designed for comfort and privacy along with a loft/playroom/study. The soaring two story living room and family room are anchored by a fabulous floor to ceiling see through/double sided natural fieldstone fireplace (the stone was handpicked and sourced from Stoneyhurst Quarries), and striking clerestory windows above bathe the interior in natural light from sunrise to sunset. The flexible floorplan adapts beautifully to a variety of lifestyles and includes a dedicated home office with a second front entrance from the front courtyard — perfect for professionals, creatives, or anyone seeking a quiet workspace. At the heart of the home, the fully equipped kitchen opens to the family room creating a seamless connection between the chef/cook and guests. Whether entertaining on a grand scale or enjoying peaceful everyday moments, this home delivers an extraordinary blend of architectural drama and warm, welcoming functionality. A large dining room is located to the right of the beautiful entry foyer, and also from the adjoining kitchen, and the scale of the rooms and the connection to nature is hard to capture with the lens of a camera. The expansive walkout lower level features a fabulous recreation room, a second sundrenched family/media room, a sewing room, a workshop and oodles of storage. The vast multi-level deck overlooks the curated greenery and is ideal for dining alfresco. Don't miss the secret garden beyond the hedgerows accessed by stone steps. The home’s millwork is a true celebration of Frank Lloyd Wright’s design philosophy—clean, horizontal lines, rich natural woods, and handcrafted details that feel both sculptural and purposeful. Custom built ins seamlessly anchor each room, echoing the home’s geometry and creating a sense of harmony throughout the space. Warm, grain forward panels, integrated shelving, and artful trim work showcase exceptional craftsmanship, giving the home an organic elegance that feels timeless. Every piece of woodwork has been thoughtfully designed to complement the architecture, resulting in interiors that are as functional as they are breathtaking. The property stretches to the stream valley below and something is always blooming in the garden. All of this and yet minutes to Metro, the ICC, the nation's Capital, Baltimore, Brookside Gardens and so much more! Truly a gardener, entertainers and commuters delight! Welcome home!
