About This Home

10155 Laureate Way

Welcome to 10155 Laureate Way, an enchanting Historic Cottage in Bethesda’s sought-after Grosvenor Heights community. Originally built in 1915 as part of the Grosvenor Mansion Estate, this cottage was the caretaker’s home for the grand residence of Gilbert Grosvenor, then president of the National Geographic Society, and his wife, Elsie May Bell, daughter of Alexander Graham Bell. This craftsman-styled cottage was originally designed by renowned architect, Arthur B. Heaton, and was meticulously reimagined in 2019, with a two-year renovation, by award-winning builder RCG Homes. Set on a quarter-acre lot and surrounded by a three-acre conservation easement, this home offers a rare blend of historic charm and modern luxury—truly unlike anything else in Bethesda. The main level invites you in through a charming covered porch. Inside, 9-foot ceilings, reclaimed heart pine floors, and authentic sash and pulley windows with louvered shutters flood the home with natural light. The great room features a cozy fireplace and a stylish powder room, while the gourmet kitchen shines with GE Café appliances, quartz countertops, and a custom bar with wine cooler and shelving. A sunlit dining area completes the space and opens up to a generous, newly built screened-in porch—perfect for year-round entertaining. Take the original winder staircase to the second level which boasts beautifully restored heart pine floors and a serene primary suite with a stunning spa-like bath. Two additional bedrooms share a beautifully appointed hall bath. A full-sized washer and dryer provide added convenience. Custom lighting throughout and designer window coverings add to the beauty of this lovely home. The detached two-car garage, approved by the Historical Preservation Commission to complement the cottage’s design, offers more than just parking. An upper-level bonus room provides over 350 square feet of living space—ideal for a home office, studio, or media room. Beautiful windows with custom blinds enhance the space. Two mini-split heating and air conditioning systems provide year-round comfort. Outside, the property’s tasteful landscaping, pebble driveway, and natural setting create a storybook backdrop. All of this in a prime location—just moments from Grosvenor Metro, Bethesda Trolley Trail, I-495, Downtown Bethesda, Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia. Wildwood Shopping Center is just around the corner with premier shopping and dining options. Located within the highly sought-after Walter Johnson School District. Do not miss the chance to own this rare, historic gem that perfectly marries past and present!
