Property Description
Nestled in the coveted Potomac Overlook community, 7211 MacArthur Blvd presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history. One of just 19 residences in Montgomery County's only designated mid-century modern historic district, this striking home offers timeless design, serene surroundings, and the freedom to personalize the interior—all while preserving its iconic open exterior.
Designed by the acclaimed architectural firm Keyes, Lethbridge & Condon and developed by Edmund Bennett, this 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home—including an in-law suite—is a masterclass in mid-century modern living. The designs clean lines, expansive windows, and a low-pitched gable roof that creates a seamless connection between the indoors and the surrounding natural landscape.
Set on over two-thirds of an acre of wooded land, the home offers exceptional privacy and stunning views of the Potomac River Valley. Inside, the freshly painted interiors highlight the home's warm modernist character, while the updated kitchen blends contemporary convenience with original charm, making it ideal for everyday living and entertaining alike. The spacious, detached garage offers room for two cars plus additional storage or workshop space.
Exterior updates, including fresh paint, enhance curb appeal while maintaining architectural integrity. The home's layout is thoughtfully designed for comfort and flexibility, with generous living spaces and a private suite perfect for guests or multi-generational living. Owners have the ability to modify interior spaces or build additions, provided the street-facing façade remains unchanged—preserving both privacy and heritage.
Living in Potomac Overlook means joining a community that values modernist architecture, natural beauty, and intentional design. Quiet, winding roads without intrusive sidewalks and mature trees on large lots give the neighborhood a tranquil, park-like feel. Yet you're only minutes from downtown Bethesda and the cultural offerings of Washington, D.C.
7211 MacArthur Blvd is more than a home, it's an opportunity to live in harmony with nature and architecture, in one of the region's most architecturally significant enclaves.
