Set privately on a stunning 1.52 -acre wooded lot in North Springbrook, this custom mid-century modern by Edwin F. Ball, AIA, has been meticulously and sensitively restored by the sellers. The work focused on updating key systems, such as the completely rebuilt and reengineered roof and gutters, while keeping the one-of-kind vintage details that make the house so special.Ball was a respected Maryland architect whose career spanned approximately three decades. He operated his own practice, Edwin F. Ball A.I.A. Associates, for 30 years before retiring in 1986, and served as president of the Maryland Society of Architects and chaired the Maryland State Board of Architectural Review for 17 years. His professional portfolio included schools, churches, commercial buildings, and the Prince George’s County regional headquarters for the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission.The design reflects the architect’s thoughtful approach to the relationship between structure, light, and landscape. Strong horizontal lines, a low-profile roof, pale brick, dark architectural detailing, and expansive windows give the residence a quietly striking presence. Walls of glass and skylights bring daylight deep into the interior while framing views of the surrounding trees and gardens. A broad front terrace leading to the entrance and elevated deck off the great room extend the living environment outdoors, creating natural spaces for dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the property’s wooded setting.The 5-bedroom, 3.5 bathroom 3,600 square-foot home (estimated) provides generous living space while retaining the sense of connection and proportion characteristic of a thoughtful, architect designed custom home.North Springbrook is within easy reach of the amenities that make Silver Spring so appealing—from shopping, dining, parks, and recreation to major commuter routes, including the Beltway, Route 29 and New Hampshire Avenue, and destinations throughout Montgomery County and the Washington, D.C. region.This is a property for those who appreciate architecture not simply as a style, but as a way of living—where natural light, landscape, materials, space and attention to detail come together to preserve an important piece of mid-century architecture home while elevating the living experience for today.
