With its bold inscription “Cedere Numquam” (Never Give Up) carved in stone above the front door, this striking Tudor-style home invites you into a world of timeless elegance and thoughtful design. Originally built in 1923 and expanded with care, it seamlessly blends classic architecture with modern architectural additions and design. Perched on a quiet cul-de-sac above Sligo Creek Park, the stone-and-stucco exterior is enhanced by sculptural metal railings by Barton Rubenstein and welcoming stone walkways. A custom wood door opens to reveal a dramatic great room with 20-foot beamed ceilings, a stone fireplace, a floating glass display wall by Renwick curator Michael Monroe, and soaring atrium windows that frame the private garden terrace. The banquet-sized dining room features a coffered ceiling with a custom crest of The Order of the Garter, a nod to tradition that echoes the home’s enduring character. The adjacent kitchen offers granite countertops, ample cabinetry, and a breakfast area that flows into the cozy family room with a Greatwestern cast iron stove. The main-level owner's suite is a true retreat, with two oversized walk-in closets, two beautifully appointed full baths, and a grand bedchamber with French doors leading to the terrace. A second office or nursery adds flexibility with an additional walk in closet. All baths on the main level feature high end Italian fixtures and the owners suite baths have heated floors & enormous walk in showers. Upstairs, a reading balcony /lounge overlooks the great room, alongside three additional bedrooms—including a suite with sitting room/den—and two full baths. Two spaces have built in window seats and the 3rd bedroom features built in furniture. The lower level provides space for hobbies, storage, and access to the deep 2 car garage and elevator. Recent updates include fresh interior and exterior paint, refinished hardwood floors, new carpet, and updated lighting. A whole-house generator is also installed. See Disclosures for additional information on systems and receipts. The terraces and gardens are accessed through the great room that enjoys the view of the towering Japanese maple with its ever changing colors, as well as the owners suite and family room. Privacy abounds and access to Sligo Creek Park is found on the corner of the yard. A sprawling front lawn greets guests with an impressive approach, as well as offering plenty of play space both front and back. Walkable to Zinnia and convenient to Metro, buses, and I-495, this timeless home offers rare character, comfort, and presence—ready for its next chapter.
