Welcome to 1771 Sycamore St NW – a stunning mid-century rambler in North Portal Estates, arguably DC’s most tranquil neighborhood. Built in 1956 and thoughtfully maintained over the years, this home is one of the largest in the neighborhood, with 4,400 total sq ft., main level primary suite, all glass sunroom, and custom-built features throughout. Step through the terrazzo-tiled foyer into a home that marries timeless design and modern updates. The main level features warm wood tones, a formal living room with exquisite floating fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling solid wood built-ins blending striking craftsmanship with abundant storage options. The dining room and living room are lined with windows leading to the airy sunroom—seamless indoor-outdoor living. Peek into the powder room for a glimpse of authentic mid-century modern decor! The kitchen boasts a great brick accent wall, ample cabinet space, and a dedicated laundry/mudroom off the rear entrance. Don't miss the hidden stairs to the attic disguised as one of the cabinet doors! The main level extends into the cozy den—with a large picture window, custom paneling, and additional built-in features—and around to three very generously-sized bedrooms and two full baths. Don’t miss the spacious primary suite with large closets and private dressing area. Downstairs, the fully finished lower level was renovated in 2021 and features a fourth bedroom, full bath, and a large bonus room, which could easily be purposed as a fifth bedroom or dedicated office. This home also boasts more storage than you thought possible in Washington, DC! Whether hosting friends and family, working from home, creating a fully functional gym space or setting up a studio—there’s room for it all. Energy-conscious buyers will love the solar panels installed on the rambler rooftop, which significantly offset utility costs and generate income through SREC credits. Outside, enjoy the private, fenced-in yard, a long driveway, and sizable storage shed—all on a beautifully landscaped lot. This home is nestled at the top of Rock Creek Park, with exceptionally easy access to its trails and nature escapes, plus downtown Silver Spring and Bethesda with ample dining and shopping just minutes away. North Portal Estates offers the best of peaceful suburban living with streamlined access to the city. Come see why you’ll love calling Sycamore Street home.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
