The custom home pictured above is the impressive result of a nearly total renovation and expansion of the house formerly occupying this desirable site. Owing to the current owner’s experience as a commercial builder, there is no mistaking the solid feeling that comes from the higher standard for materials and workmanship that were incorporated into the careful construction of this fine home. Gracious room proportions, contemporary features and close attention to detail might give you the feeling that it is brand new. Especially noteworthy is the extensive stonework of the front stairs and rear patio and garden as well as the floor to ceiling “Stoneyhurst” stone fireplace in the Family Room. This is not your average renovation and the quality of this wonderful home will proudly stand the test of time. Neighborhood Description Glen Echo Heights is a “woodsy” neighborhood of winding streets known for its diversity of architectural styles. Every home is unique, yet the overall feeling is a cohesive individuality that defines the personality of this highly desirable community. With a prime location along the Potomac River, between Massachusetts Avenue and MacArthur Boulevard, this area of Bethesda is convenient to Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia, and Montgomery County, Maryland. The Potomac River, C&O canal, historic Glen Echo Park, the Mohican Swim club, and the Sycamore Island Canoe club are all close by – literally walking distance. It is a culturally-rich area that offers a wide variety of opportunities for recreation, dining, entertainment and arts and crafts activities for all. The public schools that currently serve this area are Wood Acres Elementary, Thomas Pyle Middle, and Walt Whitman High School.
