About 2602 Harris Ave
Rare opportunity for a Charles Goodman-designed mid-century modern home in Wheatoncrest.
Nestled in the quiet enclave of Wheatoncrest, this 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom one-level home is a true Charles Goodman original—a rare chance to own a piece of architectural history in Montgomery County. One mile to Wheaton Metro on the Red Line.
Designed in the mid-20th century, Goodman’s homes remain sought after for their bold modernism and livable simplicity. Here, you’ll find the signature walls of glass, vaulted wood ceilings, and an open floor plan that effortlessly blends indoor and outdoor living. Every room feels connected to the surrounding trees and sky, a hallmark of Goodman’s timeless vision.
Over the past few years, the home has been carefully updated to preserve its architectural integrity while ensuring modern comfort. A new roof with advanced leak-proof membrane, replaced gutters, and a repaired sewer connection provide peace of mind for years ahead. Inside, a new furnace and improved ventilation keep the home comfortable in every season, while updates like a new bathroom vent and toilet, as well as a redesigned bedroom closet, enhance daily living without compromising style. Even the details have been considered—an electrician inspected and repaired the home in 2022, and the chimney was cleaned, restored, and sealed with a new exterior clean-out door. The interior of the house was just painted.
Outdoors, the property has been enhanced to match its architectural pedigree. A custom cedar fence defines the front yard, ready for a future gate if desired, while new paver walkways, a driveway apron, and a small deck create inviting outdoor spaces. A raised planter box with drainage and upgraded shed with cabinets and worktop add both beauty and functionality. The mature shade tree in the backyard has been regularly cared for by a professional arborist, ensuring both health and safety.
Wheatoncrest is a small, highly prized enclave of Goodman-designed homes, beloved by architecture enthusiasts for its integrity and authenticity. Here, you’ll find leafy streets, a welcoming community, and easy access to downtown Silver Spring, Wheaton Metro, Rock Creek Park, shopping, and dining.
