Tucked away at the end of a cherry-tree-lined cul-de-sac in historic Rock Creek Woods, with almost 2500 SQ FT of living space, the home sits gracefully atop a landscaped hill surrounded by Japanese maples, redbuds, and azaleas. A stone walkway and flagstone porch lead to light-filled interiors that showcase original slate flooring, custom millwork, and expansive windows throughout. The lower level features a sunlit family room with modern gas fireplace, built-in bookcases, and sustainable cork flooring, plus two bedrooms and a beautifully updated bath. A custom oak-and-walnut floating staircase leads to the main level — an airy retreat with panoramic treetop views, a wood-burning fireplace, and seamless flow into the award-winning gourmet kitchen. The kitchen is a showpiece with custom cabinetry, Bertazzoni induction range, quartz waterfall countertops, and suspended glass cabinets that frame lush outdoor vistas. The primary suite offers floor-to-ceiling windows, custom closets, and a spa-inspired bath with a walk-in shower and floating double vanity. From the kitchen, a sliding glass door opens to a full-width deck and a professionally landscaped backyard enclosed in cedar fencing. Terraced stone walls, a Stone Forest millstone water fountain, and a custom cedar pergola with swing create a tranquil outdoor sanctuary. Homeowners in Rock Creek Woods, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, enjoy a 20% tax credit for qualifying exterior work. The community hosts annual gatherings and offers easy access to Rock Creek Park, Brookside Gardens, Bethesda, Washington, D. C., and local shops and dining. Recent Updates: High-performance Low-E windows, custom cabinetry, modern lighting, 2016 stainless-steel flue liner and chimney cap, motion-sensor security lighting, new paint (2024), 50-gallon gas water heater (2024), and landscape lighting on timers.
