If you want to live in a one-of-a-kind piece of art, this is the home for you! Perched on a wooded lot abutting National Parkland and overlooking the C&O Canal, 113 Valley Road in Brookmont is an iconic symbol of contemporary architecture. Equal parts function and artistry, this masterclass in design was the brainchild of visionary architect Robert M. Gurney, FAIA, and recipient of numerous design awards. Harmonious with the surrounding landscape, the home is honed from intersecting spatial volumes and barrel vault ceilings. A diverse palette of materials including Brazilian cherry floors, mahogany and maple wood features, granite and bluestone adapt to the changing light and shadows. Enter the foyer lit from a ceiling lightwell, then walk into the two story barrel-vaulted living room and open plan space flooded with natural light. The 18' high two walls of glass enable stunning scenery and radiant sunsets. Brazilian cherry floors and floating stairs emit a warm glow and reflect the natural surroundings. Tempered glass, custom millwork, numerous built-ins and extra deep kitchen cabinets contribute to the functionality of this unique space. Upstairs the primary bedroom overlooks the living room and has a barrel vaulted ceiling, sumptuous bath and large walk-in closet. A private outdoor sitting area (engineered for a hot tub) and laundry area are steps away. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath are tucked away in another wing, each with a wall of built-ins and ceiling fans. The fourth bedroom with custom built-ins is on the main level and can also be used as an office. The bluestone terrace adjacent to the kitchen and a welcoming front porch provide additional outdoor living spaces. The quarter acre of land offers ample cushion for a future Gurney spec'd expansion. With easy access to the C&O Canal, its own nursery school and weekly farmer's market, the Brookmont community is a special place to live and this home is a true design gem!
