Welcome to Rock Creeks Woods, a neighborhood on the National Historic Register of
Places. Called "the glass houses", its 76 light-filled homes were designed and built by
renowned mid century modern architect Charles Goodman.

A rare find, this 2500 SQFT home  has thoughtful updates over
the years, with attention to detail, keeping the original Goodman character while providing
modern amenities.

Its tree views, simple garden, and quiet location create a true oasis for a busy life.
Relaxation can be found on a spacious deck and two patios, within a fenced area that offers
some privacy in the landscape.

The top floor has vaulted ceilings; walls of full-height windows; a living room with a wood
burning fireplace, three bedrooms, two full bathrooms with light tunnels, a dining room;
and a new kitchen with Bosh dishwasher, LG gas range, counter depth refrigerator, a
skylight, and plenty of cabinets and counter space. The original hardwood floors on this
level have been refinished.

The lower level has two bedrooms, a full bathroom with a soaking tub, a family room with
another wood burning fireplace, a den, and a huge utility-laundry-storage room. This level
has new hardwood floors. It's ideal for working from home, hosting visitors, teenage
children hanging out with their friends, and movie nights.

New amenities include an LG high efficiency washer, hot water heater, roof and gutters.
The three Rock Creek Woods streets are lined cherry trees that make springtime glorious.
There is no drive-through traffic. This quiet wooded glen and its proximity to Rock Creek
Park mean that sighting of local fauna are common, including deer, owls, bunnies, and red
foxes. On summer evenings, children of all ages will be charmed by lightning bugs putting
on a show.

The neighborhood has been featured in the Washington Post many times because of its
unique architectural and natural beauty.

It is a short distance to both Grosvenor and Wheaton Metro stations, bus stops on
Connecticut Avenue, the MARC train station in Old Town Kensington; and NIH, Walter
Reed, Pike and Rose, I-495 and I-270. Minimum credit score 750+. Renters'' net income must be four times higher than the yearly rent.

The apartment is a unit offered at a monthly price of $5,200. The person posting the listing did not specify that any pets were allowed. It may be the case that pets are ok and the manager simply has not yet filled out all the details.
