6115 Madawaska Rd, Bethesda, MD 20816

This is perhaps the most elegant house in the neighborhood, with tall windows, wonderful light and excellent proportions. It has a particularly impressive aspect from the road. The front flower beds are planted thickly in the English garden fashion, and flower profusely in the spring and summer. A well-trained, mature wisteria brings a cool dappled green shade on to the porch. The back garden is lined on two sides with beautiful, pink, knock-out rose bushes. Montgomery County installed a fine rain garden filled with flowering plants adapted both to heavy rain and high heat. This garden and the roses create a lovely view looked over from the back deck, the windows and French doors in the family room, and from the master bedroom on the floor above. This is a perfect house for a large family, providing enough space for adults and children to be together and apart as they choose. It is also an excellent house for parties, with open vistas and easy flow around the first floor. The current owners have used their home comfortably for entertaining more than a hundred guests.
