The Story

Presented for the first time, this architecturally significant residence in Historic Germantown offers a rare combination of scale, design, and structural integrity. Designed by Nick Dryden of Dryden Studio, the approximately 10,000-square-foot property was constructed with commercial-grade concrete and steel — an uncommon level of durability and infrastructure for residential living.

Expansive storefront-style windows and thoughtful circulation create a light-filled, open environment across three levels, all serviced by elevator access. Interiors blend reclaimed historic materials with refined, high-end finishes throughout.

At the center of the home, a chef's kitchen is equipped with Miele refrigeration, Thermador appliances, custom countertops, and an oversized layout designed for both daily living and large-scale entertaining. Crestron smart home integration, Lutron automated shades, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow enhance the overall experience.

The property includes five ensuite bedrooms, multiple flex spaces, a private office, and a well-appointed primary suite. Dedicated wellness and entertainment spaces feature a spa with sauna and steam shower, media room, full bar and lounge, and a cigar room with humidor.

Outdoor areas offer a private courtyard, elevated entertaining decks with skyline views, fire features, and a custom brick pizza oven. Additional highlights include geothermal heating and cooling, heated flooring, tankless water systems, a heated and cooled multi-use garage, and a custom-built storm shelter.

Architecture & Details

Nick Dryden of Dryden Studio designed the house the way a commercial building is designed, and it was built that way too: concrete and steel, storefront-style glazing, circulation planned around an elevator rather than a stair. What that buys is scale and light — three full levels of open, daylit volume in the middle of Historic Germantown — and a level of durability and infrastructure uncommon in residential work. Against that structure, the interiors run the other way: reclaimed historic materials, warm and worn, set into refined finishes.
