    What's special

    Welcome to this extraordinary custom-built luxury residence in the heart of Bethesda, offering over 7,000 square feet of beautifully designed living space across four finished levels. Thoughtfully crafted with exceptional architectural detail and premium finishes, this stunning home blends timeless elegance with modern comfort and functionality. From the moment you arrive, the home impresses with its striking stone façade, Hardi shake siding, cedar shake roof accents, and elegant architectural lines, creating exceptional curb appeal. A welcoming covered front porch framed by classic architectural columns leads to a grand entrance that opens to a sophisticated interior designed for both everyday living and elegant entertaining. The main level features soaring ceilings and a seamless open floor plan, filled with natural light from oversized windows. Formal living and dining rooms provide refined entertaining spaces, while the expansive family room with fireplace creates a warm gathering area for family and guests. At the center of the home is a gourmet chef’s kitchen, designed for both functionality and style, featuring a large center island, premium cabinetry, spacious pantry, and high-end appliances. The kitchen flows effortlessly into a bright sunroom and breakfast area, overlooking the outdoor living space. Additional highlights on the main level include a private study perfect for a home office, a stylish powder room, and a well-designed mudroom with custom built-ins connecting to the attached two-car garage. Upstairs, the luxurious owner’s suite serves as a private retreat, complete with a spacious sitting area, an oversized walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bathroom featuring a soaking tub, oversized shower, and elegant designer finishes. The upper level also includes three additional generously sized bedrooms, beautifully appointed bathrooms, and a convenient laundry room. The fully finished lower level offers incredible versatility and entertainment space, featuring a large recreation room ideal for movie nights or gatherings, an additional bedroom and full bath perfect for guests, a dedicated exercise room, and space for a wet bar, creating the ultimate entertainment level. The top-level loft/studio floor provides an exceptional bonus space that can function as a creative studio, private office suite, additional lounge, or guest retreat, complete with its own bathroom and additional storage areas. Built with quality craftsmanship and attention to detail, the home includes energy-efficient construction, premium insulation, high-performance windows, and modern mechanical systems, ensuring comfort and efficiency throughout the seasons. Outdoor spaces include a charming front porch and spacious rear patio, ideal for relaxing evenings or outdoor entertaining. Perfectly located in one of Bethesda’s most desirable neighborhoods, this home offers convenient access to downtown Bethesda, top-rated schools, parks, dining, shopping, and major commuter routes. Photos simply cannot capture the beauty, scale, and craftsmanship of this extraordinary custom home — it must be seen in person to be fully appreciated.
