For nearly two decades, Scott Churilla, founder of Churilla Homes, has built a reputation for creating distinctive residences that combine timeless craftsmanship with thoughtful, enduring design. A Bethesda native, Scott has spent his career shaping some of the Washington region's most desirable neighborhoods, earning the trust of homeowners, architects, and designers through an unwavering commitment to quality and meticulous attention to detail.
After serving for many years as Lead Project Manager for the acclaimed Hemingway Homes—where he oversaw the construction of hundreds of homes throughout the region—Scott founded Churilla Homes in 2012. Since then, his portfolio has grown to include luxury custom residences, new-construction infill developments, and multifamily condominium projects throughout the Washington metropolitan area.
Notable projects include an approximately 8,000-square-foot custom residence on Chesapeake Street NW in Washington's prestigious Forest Hills neighborhood, an eight-unit luxury condominium conversion on U Street NW, and numerous custom homes in Bethesda's premier neighborhoods, including Edgemoor, Bannockburn, Kenwood Park, and Oakwood Knolls.
Birdsong represents the culmination of Scott's experience and philosophy—a home where exceptional construction, refined architectural design, and uncompromising attention to detail come together to create a residence of lasting significance.
Scott lives in Bethesda with his wife and three children, continuing to invest in and contribute to the community he has proudly called home his entire life.
