The glass atrium at 4213 Lenore Lane NW
The home that currently sits on a half-acre at 4213 Lenore Lane in Forest Hills is a different property from what was built there in 1981. Originally designed by an Iranian architect, the seven-bedroom home was transformed by the current owners when the couple purchased it a little over a decade ago. The goal? Create a place where sun can fill every level in order to showcase their extensive glass art collection.

In order to do this, the 10,707 square-foot property has a massive wall of glass on the back of the house. Because the home is built into a hill, the glass offers amazing views of the grounds of the Hillwood Estate from each of the home’s three levels. In addition to installing a new kitchen and a back staircase, the sellers also took down a number of walls to open the floor plan and let the sun drench entire levels.

Lower-level deck
All of the rooms in the home open to angular decks, including a lower-level deck that could accommodate 150 guests. Also included in the listing price is a two-car garage and membership to a swimming and tennis club in the area, but we imagine that the eventual buyer will spend most their time looking out the window(s). More details and photos below.
