Bethesda, Maryland
The 275-home National Register of Historic Places-designated neighborhood in Bethesda was built between 1962 and 1966. Carderock Springs real estate was designed by local modernist architectural firm Keys, Lethbridge and Condon, and developed by Edmund Bennett. The homes are sited seamlessly into the wooded community known for its popular pool and tennis club.
Dive into the rich history of this neighborhood:
“Mike turned what could have been a stressful ordeal of selling my late father’s house, especially since I live out of state, into an unexpected pleasure. I didn’t know the market and had no idea what was needed to prepare the house for sale, let alone how to get it done. Mike was calm, analytical, energetic, good-humored, and not fazed by having an absentee client. He was wonderful to work with. His responsiveness and his meticulousness about communicating made it easy not being local. His expert recommendations were proved exactly right.”
