Wow House: Remarkable Home Blends Historic Elements With Modern Design

SILVER SPRING, MD — This is a must-see opportunity in the stunning Gymnasium at the National Park Seminary in Forest Glen. This light-filled unit was completed only 5 years ago in the space once occupied by the swimming pool! This one-of-kind home includes remarkable historic elements including beautiful, original mosaic tile from the 1907 swimming pool.

While highlighting the charming features of the pool and gymnasium, the home was designed for comfortable, modern living with 3 bedrooms, plentiful storage space, a custom gas fireplace, and large terrace. After entering the condominium through the beautiful Greek Corinthian portico, you are greeted by high ceilings and an open floor plan. The living area includes built-in shelves and cabinets, a lighted art niche, and vented marble fireplace.
