Welcome to 8300 Tomlinson Avenue, a classic Hillcrest model in the highly sought-after South Carderock neighborhood of Bethesda. This mid-century modern split-level home offers 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and 2,154 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space on a flat 13,431 square foot lot. A hallmark of Carderock Springs architecture, the Hillcrest model was recognized for its innovative design by the Congress on Better Living program sponsored by McCall’s in 1963. The main level features an open concept living and dining area with vaulted ceilings and expansive windows that fill the space with natural light. A spacious deck extends off this level, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Upstairs, you will find the primary bedroom with an en-suite bath, along with an additional bedroom and full bathroom. The lower level includes three more bedrooms, a versatile recreation room, a full bathroom, and a separate laundry room for added convenience. The home also features an attached one-car garage and enjoys all the benefits of Carderock Springs living - including access to a huge natural park just behind the home, as well as the Carderock Springs Swim & Tennis Club, close proximity to the C&O Canal, Great Falls Park, and top-rated Montgomery County Public Schools (Carderock Springs Elementary, Thomas W. Pyle Middle, and Walt Whitman High School). This is a rare opportunity to own a mid-century architectural gem in a neighborhood known for its timeless design and serene natural setting. This cherished home is move-in ready, or well-suited for your personal touch, offering an exciting opportunity for customization. Whether you're a mid-century modern enthusiast or looking for a home to make your own, this offers endless possibilities.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
