I.M. Pei, the renowned architect probably best known for his pyramid addition to the Louvre in Paris, has designed only a few private homes, and this is one of them.

Priced at $2.95 million, it is about 30% less this year than its owners were asking a year ago.

Pei is also known for his work on the East Wing of the National Gallery in Washington.

This home, in the Cleveland Park area of Washington, has three bedrooms and two bathrooms in 2,500 square feet. The Modernist-style home also has a signature, poured-in-place concrete roof.

The home was built in 1960 for the late William L Slayton, who served as commissioner of urban renewal in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations.

Slayton's family sold the home in 2000 for $850,000.

Working with architect Hugh Newell Jacobsen, the owners spent six years and more than $1 million restoring the house, using Slayton's diary as a guide and adding a pool. The home was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

Heidi Hatfield and Anne Hatfield Weir of Washington Fine Properties, LLC have the listing.
