Under Contract: My New Listing: Goodman in Rock Creek Woods

Here’s my latest Goodman listing. It is priced at $599K. As I write this, it is the only Charles Goodman-designed mid-century modern home listed for sale in Montgomery County so come take a look. Here’s the full virtual tour and floor plan. And here is the address.

This 1960 renovated “Brookview” model is located in a peaceful setting of mature trees in the National Register of Historic Places-designated neighborhood of Rock Creek Woods.

The central focus of the two-level, 5 bedroom/3 bath home is the top-floor living room and open kitchen-dining area. The expansive space features Goodman’s signature large brick fireplace, original hardwoods and wall of glass that allows for unfettered views of the trees, including the explosion of cherry blossoms in the spring.

The home’s upper level features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, including master suite with extensive closet space. The open, updated kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel Thermador Professional gas range and convection oven and beautifully refinished original cabinets.

The lower-lever features a large den with fireplace and built-in bookshelves, two bedrooms, a full updated bathroom and large utility/laundry room with sink. Sliding glass doors from the den open to a brick-screened and covered private front patio.

The home’s entranceway reflects the home’s mid-century modern architectural pedigree with walls of glass, slate floor and dramatic open stairway with original wood steps and railings.

A large, wood deck and brick patio allows you to enjoy the .21 acre beautifully landscaped lot.

Located just outside the Beltway, the home is close to the shops, restaurants and MARC in Kensington, the Wheaton Metro and Beltway access off Connecticut Avenue. Close to the trail and playgrounds along Beach Drive in Rock Creek Park.
