When we moved into our house, my immediate neighbors proudly told me about fighting off Phillips' development plans (first of many NIMBY campaigns in Tulip Hill, to include recent FAA flight path algorithm which saves fuel and protects the greater environment). Last time I saw Phillips, he told me he was concentrating on a parcel in Foxhall. This was about 10 years ago, when he was already in his 80s. Stonehaven has character and potentially good "bones," but I am also confused as to the 9 houses -- unless they are planning to build a switchback road up from MacArthur, cuz they're not allowed a driveway onto Tulip Hill Ter as far as I know. Before Leland fenced it off in 2006, we used to walk through that gothic property to access the Puppet Co & carousel at Glen Echo Park, and it's steeply graded.

Listing says "up to 9 lots". My guess is that this goes to whoever can get the most places built, but that almost certainly won't be 9 additional homes.

Agree with poster who said Cafritz or Rembrandt.

Plus 1. Their houses don't sell very quickly though.

There are too many new build McMansions in GEH and they languish on the market.

This seems to be true, and they sit longer than other neighborhoods due to the decreasing interest in Glen Echo Heights.

Yet they keep getting built at record numbers. Guess the random internet loser knows more about market trends than the developers and their agents.

They get built but it's generally years before they sell, which reflects the declining popularity of the river neighborhoods due to the noise and pollution impacts of being directly under the highway in the sky for the past few years.
