Forest Hills, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates

Today's home is in the quiet neighborhood of Forest Hills in Washington DC. This seven-bedroom home was built in 1927 in a Spanish Eclectic style which shows in the curving iron front door metal work. The home combines Mediterranean style with a classic touch shown in the graceful lines of the home. The home's muted cream-colored palette creates a soft impression. Large public rooms and both a chef's kitchen and a service kitchen make this home a natural for entertaining. It belongs to Washington news personality Barbara Harrison Pyle and some of her Emmys are on display in one of the bedrooms. The home is on over an acre of land that includes a swimming pool. It is listed at $7.5 million.

The architect Travis Price has created some truly extraordinary structures (check out Wade Davis's writing studio on the website, it's stunning) but I'm not sure if today's home is one of his greater creations. This 11,000-square-foot, six-bedroom home in the Forest Hills area of Washington D.C.has four stories and an open and angular floor plan. The home is dramatic but still appears to be comfortable and livable with large shared rooms but also plenty of private spaces. The listing blurb invokes Frank Lloyd Wright but I'm not really seeing that here. It is listed at $5.495 million.
