$3.2 million Bethesda house was built to look old
Briefly

Leslie Miles and her husband, Jayson Schwam, built a home in Bethesda that mirrors their 1891 townhouse's architectural style, utilizing a variety of antique materials sourced across the U.S. The design was informed by a bionic approach to merge popular early 1900s styles. The house aims to provide both formal and informal spaces suitable for entertaining and family life. After four years of construction, the house is on the market for $3.19 million, highlighting Miles' commitment to historical preservation and creative design process using antiques from various sources.
We basically wanted to build a house that was our [Logan Circle] rowhouse, but with the ability to segregate the parts of the property so you didn't have to be in the formal part and see the informal part, or vice versa.
The house, completed in 2003, used materials sourced from antique and opportunity shops around the country, as well as items from friends' homes in Logan Circle.
