In a sought-after location with quick access to major Highways, Bethesda and Rockville Cafes and Restaurants, Hospitals, Doctors’ office, and Shopping areas such as Montgomery Mall. Close proximity to Potomac Woods Swim Club, Park Elementary, Hadley’s Park, and a network of scenic walking and biking trails. This gorgeous corner-lot stands out among its neighbors. The expansive lawn wraps around the front and side yards framed by lush plantings and a decorative fence. Previously a Model home, built on a half-acre lot showcases lovely landscaping including Japanese arbors and pergolas, Japanese red maples, Rose patches and much more. Meandering pathways lead through a series of garden vignettes, open green space for children to play, and to a charming patio with a pergola. The one of a kind three-tier deck built around a mature oak tree sits gracefully in the rear of the house surrounded by flaming Azalea bushes, a Bodhi tree, built-in bench, and many peaceful spots to relax and entertain while overlooking the beautifully landscaped rear garden. The deck was architecturally designed and constructed with hand carved hardwood. Comfortably shaded by mature oak trees, it sits next to a large custom designed climate-controlled sunroom with wall-to-wall glass doors by Anderson and many skylights. This room can be fully opened seasonally like a screened porch for fresh breeze to flow in. Among all the existing beauty in the rear yard there is plenty of open space to add a play area and other special features and make it your own. There is a gate leading to the driveway in addition to a storage shed and additional parking area. This home has been twice renovated and expanded by the current owners. The main level features expansive picture windows in the living and dining rooms. The two-story addition to the house created a sun-drenched all-glass English Conservatory adjacent to the living room overlooking the beautiful front yard with its own gas fireplace for the winter. It can be used as a home office as well, quite a unique addition to the house. The large family room with its wood burning fireplace along with an adjacent inner foyer
flows into the newly built Sunroom though large glass French Doors. The adjoining Kitchen, with its own dinette area, opens to the rear deck as well through glass doors and window giving it a panoramic view of the rear yard and the custom deck. This adds to the theme of connecting the indoor and outdoor spaces around which house was designed. The kitchen was just renovated and has white solid wood custom cabinetry, modern pantry and built-in desk, contemporary quartz countertops, custom backsplash, and upgraded appliances. A stylish powder room and laundry/storage closet completes the main level.
Upstairs is the luxurious primary suite, and three additional bedrooms, with two full bathrooms that have also been renovated and modernized. The new spa-like Primary Bath is beautifully finished in natural stone with a large double vanity and tons of storage, a custom frameless glass-enclosed shower, and an oversized jetted Jacuzzi bathtub. This bathroom expansion allowed the primary suite to be reconfigured adding additional new dressing/closet areas. The three spacious bedrooms and two updated full baths are a huge bonus.The fully finished lower level includes a recreation room and bonus room used as a guest suite or second office cum library. You’ll also find a mudroom with access to the oversized two-car garage, a cedar closet, and many additional storage closets. The two and half size garage has been renovated and fitted with wooden wall to wall cabinetry. Both the roof and the siding were replaced in 2018 and generator with auto switching added to provide uninterrupted power supply in the event of a power failure.
