A Craftsman Gem in Tulip Hill: Timeless Design Meets Modern Comfort Located in the desirable Tulip Hill neighborhood, this Craftsman-style home offers a rare blend of luxury and comfort across 8,000 square feet on four finished levels. Perfectly situated on a spacious 0.61-acre lot, this property boasts an array of thoughtful details designed to meet the highest standards of modern living. From the moment you arrive, the home’s exterior—an inviting combination of stone, cedar shake and HardiePlank siding—sets the tone for what lies inside. A 50-year asphalt shingle roof signals durability as much as style. Step through the front door, and you are greeted with a spacious interior punctuated by 10-foot ceilings on both the main and lower levels, while the two upper levels offer a 9-foot ceiling height. Throughout the home, six-inch sanded-in-place hardwood floors span three levels, complemented by an array of architectural details that include box-beamed ceilings, tray ceilings, oversized baseboards, and finely detailed window trim. The craftsmanship is evident at every turn. The open central staircase serves as the heart of the home, allowing natural light to cascade through the space. The kitchen and baths feature beautiful all-wood custom cabinetry. The collection of other special features you won’t find elsewhere include an elevator, two private home offices, and a whole house generator and a 3 car garage. Whether working remotely, enjoying family time or entertaining guests, this home provides seamless functionality. Designed for both indoor and outdoor living, the home’s screened porch overlooks a serene, level rear yard—an ideal setting for morning coffee or evening gatherings. A lower-level bluestone patio further enhances the outdoor space, providing a peaceful retreat in a beautifully landscaped environment. Beyond the property’s stunning aesthetic, practical amenities abound, including a full daylight walkout basement. Every inch of the home reflects meticulous maintenance and attention to quality, making it a true haven for those seeking both beauty and durability. Serenity Meets Convenience Perfectly located in the sought-after Whitman school cluster, Tulip Hill offers a tranquil escape just minutes from downtown Bethesda and the vibrant Woodmont Triangle. The home’s proximity to premier outdoor destinations such as the C&O Canal Trail and Glen Echo Park, along with easy access to Washington, D.C., and local airports, ensures the ultimate balance of convenience and leisure. This impeccably maintained Craftsman home is a rare opportunity—one that combines timeless design, exceptional craftsmanship, and an enviable location.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
