1614 Tuckerman St NW

Property Description

Introducing 1614 Tuckerman Street NW, an all-brick Italianate masterpiece built in 1925, offering a rare opportunity to own 95 feet of direct frontage on Rock Creek Park. Nestled in a secluded, forested setting, this architectural gem seamlessly blends timeless elegance with thoughtful modern updates. Despite its tranquil surroundings, the home is just a four-minute drive to Whole Foods and 16 minutes from downtown Bethesda, providing the perfect balance of privacy and city convenience. Spanning over 4,500 square feet (4,300 livable, 4,750 total) across four grand levels, the home showcases exquisite craftsmanship, from rich wood floors to expansive, light-filled rooms designed for both formal entertaining and everyday living. The main level offers a graceful flow, while the kitchen and breakfast room exude Art Deco charm. Thoughtfully renovated, the kitchen integrates modern appliances while preserving its nostalgic character, featuring a 1950s-style dining booth and unique tiling. The second floor hosts an expanded primary suite—a serene retreat with an updated bath and custom built-ins—along with two additional bedrooms and two full baths. The third-floor loft provides a versatile space, ideal for a family room, study, or creative escape. The lower level enhances the home’s functionality with a bonus in-law suite, a striking wet bar made of glass blocks, ample storage, and flexible recreation space. A true extension of the home, the outdoor living spaces are equally enchanting. A charming patio, a peaceful fountain, and an expansive deck invite al fresco dining, gardening, and entertaining. Situated on an end lot, the property offers privacy and a connection to nature rarely found in the city. Adding to the home’s appeal, two significant neighborhood transformations are underway. Less than a mile away, The Parks at Walter Reed is undergoing a $500 million revitalization, bringing new restaurants, shops, luxury residences, and the Children’s National Research Hospital. Meanwhile, the nearby Rock Creek Park Golf Course is receiving a $25 million renovation, which will enhance the 18-hole course, double the clubhouse, and introduce hiking trails and a community putting green. On the market for the first time since the 1980s, 1614 Tuckerman is ready to welcome its fourth owner. With four bedrooms, four full baths, two half baths, exceptional outdoor living spaces, and off-street parking, this one-of-a-kind home offers a rare blend of historic charm, modern comfort, and unparalleled access to nature and city life.
