Description

Set at the gateway to the breathtaking expanse of Rock Creek Park, 2867 Tilden Street NW is a striking contemporary residence in move-in condition that captures the essence of modern living in one of Forest Hills' most architecturally distinctive enclaves, where thoughtfully designed homes blend seamlessly with surrounding parkland, all while offering close proximity to both the Cleveland Park and Van Ness Metro stops.


Designed by the acclaimed Soe Lin Architecture, this virtually new home showcases a refined balance of form, function, and natural light. The main level unfolds with effortless flow, anchored by an open-concept living room centered around a sleek fireplace and including a spacious dining area and a beautifully appointed gourmet kitchen, complete with premium appliances and clean, modern lines. Upstairs, four generously scaled bedrooms provide exceptional comfort, including a serene primary suite, a second bedroom also with an en suite bathroom, and two mirror bedrooms that share a bathroom; any of the three non-primary bedrooms can be converted to an office with no effort, and there is also an office area at the top of the staircase. The thoughtfully designed layout continues on the lower level, where a dramatic wine cellar serves as a true showpiece; this level also features a spacious family room and a private fifth bedroom suite, all opening directly to the exterior for added light and livability.


Since acquiring the home, the current owners have thoughtfully enhanced the exterior experience, including the creation of a beautifully designed rear patio and a comprehensive landscaping plan that elevates both privacy and curb appeal, complemented by an in-ground sprinkler system, an upgraded and expanded outdoor lighting scheme that highlights the home and grounds at night. Additional enhancements by the current owners reflect a focus on both convenience and peace of mind, including installation of Gutter Helmet gutter guards, custom Hunter Douglas Duette shades throughout the first floor, and a fully integrated Ring and ADT security system.


Impeccably maintained and finished with a sophisticated, modern palette throughout, this home offers a rare combination of architectural pedigree, turnkey condition, and an unrivaled setting just moments from miles of scenic trails, yet steps to the conveniences Metro, shops and dining.
