Situated on a quiet cul de sac in North Bethesda’s most sought after neighborhood, this home is timeless and perfect for today’s lifestyle. Custom-built for these original owners, it incorporates an open floorplan with 5700 square feet of living space beautifully sited on a private half an acre, conducive to today’s more informal living. Gracious landscaping surrounds the property, and a newly renovated heated pool and flagstone patio, makes for ideal outdoor living. Located in the heart of the popular Luxmanor neighborhood, this wonderful home enjoys easy access to I-270 and I-495, close proximity to the Green Acres/Diener School, Luxmanor ES and Tilden MS, as well as two neighborhood pools, several county parks, shopping and restaurants including Pike and Rose, Wildwood Shopping Center and Westfield Montgomery Mall.
The interior is special. The “user-friendly” floorplan features a two-story, 18’ entry Foyer with balcony overlook and clerestory windows above the double-door entry with etched glass side panels. The first floor has nine-foot ceilings throughout. A focal point of the Main Level is the large Living Room with skylights in the vaulted ceiling and a wood-burning fireplace with marble trim and hearth. Both the Living Room and Dining Room have doors to the deck and overlook the backyard and swimming pool. A Home Office (or Study) with built-ins is conveniently located off the Foyer.
Informal comfort reigns with a Kitchen that has been renovated and updated with upgraded stainless-steel appliances, including a side-by-side Subzero refrigerator and freezer; Wolf cooktop and double wall ovens and microwave; natural, light stained cabinetry; an island perfect for informal meals; and a desk area for the home computer. Open to the Family Room with eating space and a second wood-burning fireplace, this area is perfect for more relaxed living. Adjacent to the Family Room is an “All Seasons” Porch with deck and staircase to the backyard, which makes the pool and patio readily accessible from the Kitchen and Family Room. Completing the first floor is a Full Bathroom/Powder Room and a wonderful Mudroom with wine cooler, pantry, built-in ice machine, coat closet, additional counter space, and cabinets, with access to side yard and the oversized, two-car Garage.
The Upper Level has also been well thought out with a large Primary Suite with two Full Bathrooms, one with a whirlpool tub and the other a with stall shower, as well as a large, organized Walk-in Closet.
