A VISUALTOUR OF
VILLA BEHRENS
WELCOME TO VILLA BEHRENS
Note: Villa Behrens was sold in 2011. Because of numerous requests from collectors to see where Howard’s last works were created (before the onset of his Parkinson’s Disease), this popular “Visual Tour” remains here on our official website.
“Villa Behrens” – the former private home and studio of Howard Behrens. Featured in 7 design magazines and on HGTV. Villa Behrens was situated on four wooded acres in Potomac, MD – located on the outskirts of the Nation’s Capital. Villa Behrens was designed by Judi Behrens and a leading DC architect. Their vision was to create a home and studio that would reflect the mood and romance of Behrens’ paintings.
