Available for the first time in nearly 50 years! This impeccably maintained, expanded Mid-Century Modern stone home sits on a private .27-acre lot backing to a tree-lined yard with Rock Creek Park just beyond. Renovated top to bottom with Wolf & Viking appliances, new high-efficiency HVAC (2025), refinished hardwood floors, and energy-efficient windows throughout. A showstopping glass conservatory with cathedral ceilings opens to a flagstone patio with fire pit and wooded views. Chef's kitchen, spa-like primary bath, and a daylight lower level with full second kitchen and private 4th bedroom suite make this a rare Crestwood find — moments from 30+ miles of parkland trails.
