Property Description
**Open House Cancelled. Under Contract.**Welcome to this two-level mid-century modern in Carderock Springs, designed by the esteemed architectural firm Keyes, Lethbridge, and Condon (KLC). Nestled amidst the serene surroundings of National Register of Historic Places-designated Carderock Springs, this Hillcrest model with 2,381 total square feet features extensive updates and upgrades made by the sellers during the past decade plus of ownership.
This Hillcrest model, designed for a lateral slope, includes 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 2 fireplaces, and a lower recreation room. In 1963, the Hillcrest model was certified by the “Congress on Better Living” program sponsored by McCall’s. The Hillcrest also received a design award from Practical Builder.
The house, set back nicely from the road, sits on a deep .37-acre lot with useable backyard and suitable to further expand the house if needed.
After purchasing the home, the owners undertook a major effort to renovate and update major systems, including updating all glass and sliding glass doors and exterior doors, installing a new HVAC and tankless hot water heater, replaced almost all plumbing, removed dated paneling and reinsulated a number of walls, did an exterior chimney rebuild, installed new luxury vinyl tile in the lower level and kitchen, among other updates.
The upper level features an open living-dining area with cathedral ceiling and walls of glass and top of the line Mendota gas fireplace and Quartzite surround. Sliding glass doors open to the front balcony, a signature on many of the Carderock models.
The kitchen area was expanded to include an eat-in space and two skylights were added to let in additional light. The kitchen-dining space opens to directly to a patio and the backyard, which has small sandbox and storage shed.
The top level also includes two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including primary suite with high-end renovated bathroom, including Delta fixtures, sea pearl quartzite counters, marble shower floor and Toto toilet.
The lower level has two light-filled bedrooms, the third full bathroom, family room and storage/utility room. The family room has built-in bookshelves and a Mendota gas fireplace with glazed brick surround.
Carderock Springs is a National Register of Historic Places-designated neighborhood in Bethesda and was built between 1962 and 1966. Designed by KLC, and developed by Edmund Bennett, the homes are sited seamlessly into the wooded community known for its popular pool and tennis club. The public schools are Carderock Springs Elementary, Thomas W. Pyle Middle School and Walt Whitman High School. Pool and tennis club membership conveys. ($1000 activation fee plus yearly dues.)
