Property Description

Welcome to 11216 Dewey Road, Rock Creek Palisades Tucked away on one of the most private streets in Rock Creek Palisades, this mid-century Cape Cod is a perfect expression of what Standard Properties and the Daniels Brothers envisioned when they began developing the neighborhood in 1958- airy, light-filled homes on wooded lots that stay connected to nature. Rock Creek Palisades was developed in the mid-20th century by Standard Properties, founded by the Daniel brothers — Clarke, Raleigh, and Cushing. Their vision was to design suburban communities that embraced natural beauty, with curving streets, wooded lots, and homes carefully positioned for light, privacy, and harmony with the landscape. Even the street names honor American history, commemorating World War II admirals — including Admiral George Dewey, for whom this road is named. Set on a generous 19-acre lot this home offers 1,935 sq. ft. of finished living space and 2,375 sq. ft. total creating a rare combination of charm and functionality. Step through the front door and you’re greeted by natural light streaming through the large bay window, highlighting the living room’s gas fireplace and built-ins. The kitchen and dining area flow seamlessly to the screened-in porch — perfect for al fresco dinners or weekend coffee. Just off the kitchen, the sunken family room provides additional gathering space and connects to a laundry/mudroom and full bath. One level down, you’ll find a flexible bonus room (currently staged as a bedroom) and 230 sq. ft. of storage space, complete with a second refrigerator. Upstairs, two bright bedrooms share an updated hall bath, while the top level is dedicated entirely to the primary suite — featuring a walk-in closet, en-suite bath, and 120 sq. ft. of attic storage Outside, you are just 35 seconds from the Rock Creek Park trailhead, making daily walks and nature escapes effortless. This home offers a true sense of privacy and tranquility — the perfect retreat from city life, all while keeping you minutes from the heart of Kensington and Bethesda.
