2941 Tilden St
A rare opportunity to reimagine one of Forest Hills’ gracious early-20th-century residences, 2941 Tilden Street NW is a stately 1906 semi-detached home offering nearly 3,900 finished square feet across four levels. Cherished by the same family for 40 years, this Grand Dame awaits her next chapter. Beyond the welcoming front porch and distinctive pebble-dash stucco exterior, the home reveals the craftsmanship and scale of another era—9-foot ceilings, plaster walls, generous room proportions, front and rear staircases, bay windows, French doors, and multiple fireplaces. The main level is anchored by an impressive 25-foot living room with fireplace, flowing to a formal dining room with bay window and second fireplace. A family room, powder room, and white kitchen complete the level, while the private rear patio unfolds over two tiers with a tranquil pond and access to the rare two-car garage with attic storage. Three bedrooms and two full baths occupy the second floor, including the primary suite, along with conveniently located laundry. The finished third level offers two additional bedrooms and another full bath, creating wonderful flexibility for family, guests, offices, or studio space. With its own entrance, the finished lower level provides exceptional additional living space with a bedroom, living area, kitchen, full bath, second laundry, and abundant storage. Rooftop solar panels add modern-day efficiency. Six bedrooms, expansive living spaces, four finished levels, multiple fireplaces, private outdoor space, and a two-car garage provide the extraordinary bones for something truly special. Bring your vision and reinvigorate this Forest Hills Grand Dame into a spectacular showplace for its next generation.
