On the Market: $1.85M Contemporary Home in McLean

This modern residence seamlessly blends nature and luxury on 3 acres.

Situated on a private 3-acre estate in McLean, between Georgetown Pike and Old Dominion, 839 Towlston Rd. is a modern 6,100-square-foot, four-bedroom home, with four full bathrooms and two half-baths. 

The stucco home, designed by Theodore “Ted” Dixon Bower, who studied under Frank Lloyd Wright and supervised construction on Wright’s Sol Friedman House in New York, sits on a terraced and gated lot and is on the market for $1.85 million. 

The interior layout features wide staircases, lots of windows, and hardwood floors. This 1987 contemporary house has a chef’s kitchen that was updated in 2019 and sits adjacent to a beautiful sun-lit solarium.
