About This Home
As of December 2021Deadline for offers: 8PM Wednesday******A rare opportunity: Soaring wood-beam cathedral ceilings and wide floor-to-ceiling glass expanses open up this Mid-Century Modern home to its lush woodlands setting in Rock Creek park. Welcome to a unique gem in architect Charles Goodman’s Rock Creek Woods, a quiet, sought-after community just north of Old Town Kensington. This gorgeous custom-built home, rising on the footprint of Goodman’s “Starview” model, was designed by Joseph A. Wilkes, a fellow of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and partner in Wilkes and Faulkner, a firm specializing in the design of contemporary houses. ******This light-filled, spacious home, surrounded by patios, deck, and balcony, hits all the buttons so desired by lovers of Mid-Century Modern architecture. It contains almost 2800 square feet of living space, including an owner's bedroom suite with den and double-sink bath, three additional bedrooms and two more full bathrooms, large living and family rooms—both with brick fireplaces, plus a separate dining room. The 18-foot eat-in kitchen features two separate sinks, a sit-down bake center, slide-out storage drawers and custom cabinets, plus updated stainless steel appliances. The home’s flexible three-room and bath lower level, with its separate entrance, could work well as an in-law suite or home office/waiting room combination.
******This home abounds in such artistic details as: a floating open staircase; beautiful Red Oak flooring in several rooms and abundant wood paneling throughout; Mexican terracotta floors; a stunning ceramic tile kitchen backsplash and 11-foot long heatproof dining buffet serving counter, both created by Bethesda artist Virginia Yager; and direct sliding-door access to outdoor living spaces from all major rooms—living room, family room, dining room, kitchen, master bedroom, and den. ******Other desirable features:
****** . A soaring 16-foot high beamed entrance foyer with four skylights lighting up the center of this home;
****** . An automatic emergency generator powering essential appliances and electricity in most rooms;
****** . Built-in wooden storage units throughout, including desks, bookcases, and cabinets in seven rooms;
****** . A copper flat central roof and copper gutter system;
****** . Convenient clothes chute from upper level to laundry room below; and
****** . Soundproofing between floors designed by Joe Wilkes, a recognized authority on architectural acoustics. ******
This home, in a quiet, wooded cul-de-sac, is located close to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Walter Reed Medical Center, multiple Metro stations, and major commuter routes. Enjoy the nearby Rock Creek trails, parks, tennis court, and playgrounds. ****** This home has been lovingly cared for by current owner for more than 50 years. Now it's your opportunity to call it your home!
