6702 Oregon Ave Nw · Apartment for Rent

Property Status: Active GORGEOUS POST MODERN HOME - Luxury in residential architecture had been traditionally expressed in the classical language. Nowhere is this more evident than in Washington, D.C.'s most established neighborhoods. This 5-bedroom and 4.5-bathroom home tucked away in Chevy Chase DC with park views is an expression of luxury in an entirely different idiom. Private driveway leads to an enclave of 4 residences designed by architect Thomas S. Shiner. His works known for intersecting at architecture and industrial design, exemplify that good design is essential and fundamental. Shiner's contributions to architecture is amongst those that have given new, wider dimensions to the terrain in which people interact with design. Postmodernism evolved through the 1960s but achieved its apotheosis in the early 1980s. It was a synthesis of forms and proportions borrowed from antiquity and revealed itself most typically in large-scale building typologies. These forms found a new medium in the hands of many celebrated American architects, some of whom were chiefly identified with this style over others. Floor to ceiling windows at the rear of the home provide a direct view to Rock Creek Park (Pinehurst). Nearly 5,300 square feet of interior living space includes a solarium, loft, screened-in art studio/porch, game room, gym/office, second kitchen, 4 fireplaces, and 2-car garage. The floor plan and interior details, including multiple levels and clerestory windows, are the progeny of the work of Paul Rudolph. The sensibility of both architects is clear in the way the spaces are articulated and the judicious use of decorative details. Open kitchen with stainless steel appliances, double oven, and bar seating facilitates guests and entertaining. Adjacent dining room open on four sides allowing for direct tree views of the park. Each of the 4 fireplaces offer a cozy and serene gathering spot through the various spaces of the home. Exterior wrap around deck faces the wooded Pinehurst Trail and offers a peaceful reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the city. Primary suite with 15-foot cathedral ceilings, wall of windows, loft, double closets, and spa-like primary bathroom. Three additional over-sized bedrooms, one with ensuite and a hall-bathroom with double sinks. Expansive lower-level includes sitting area, entertainment room, large screened-in porch, a fifth bedroom, an additional full bathroom as well as a second kitchen.
