One-of-a-kind in Edgemoor, reminiscent of Charleston architecture, custom built in 2007 by acclaimed homebuilder Jim Gibson. Exquisite workmanship, the quality of construction and materials shows throughout the house and stands the test of time. Elegance and timeless design in every space, this residence features many upgrades and special custom amenities, including a two-level, wrap-around porch, a show-stopping oval staircase, an elevator, Control-4 home automation system, beautiful stand-alone guest house, all-house generator, and so much more. Fully fenced, the beautiful mature landscaping with in-ground lighting and pavers walk-way lead up to an inviting wrap-around front porch. Enter through an elegant foyer with oval-shaped three-level open staircase, quality wood panels and arched ceilings, continue to a spacious, bright and graceful formal dining room that can comfortably host a party of 12. The back of the home features a gourmet kitchen with large breakfast area, and a family room with tasteful built-ins and fireplace. In the mood for movie night? With a click of a button, the entire space transforms to a movie screening room with a large drop screen, blackout shades, high-quality projector that drops from the ceiling, and an incredible built-in surround sound system. One of the many surprises the home offers! The family room opens to a gorgeous private backyard with dual level patios, a gazebo, as well as a complete independent guest house with its own kitchenette, bathroom, private access, separately controlled hvac, and even a pet door. The upper level of the home includes an elegant and luxurious premiere suite, a second bedroom (currently setup as a gym), a third bedroom (currently setup as a home office with built-ins) and a hall bathroom. The wrap-around porch is accessible from each room as well as the hallway. Lower level includes a guest bedroom with built-ins, private bathroom and a large walk-in closet, storage area and a large pantry, and a massive garage with two electric car chargers, additional storage, workshop space with built-ins, and a backroom housing the whole-house generator. Downtown Bethesda is quite literally within steps from the front door, the perfect alternative to condo living.
