1157 Chain Bridge Rd

Architectural eye candy in the heart of Langley Farms. 1157 Chain Bridge Road is a home that demonstrates less is more with its open floor plan, glass walls, sleek lines, dramatic ceiling heights and an abundance of natural light. The contemporary design reimagined in 2008 by architect Randall Mars, minimizes the barrier between the outside and inside worlds by creating views reminiscent of country living far away from city life.
