About This Home
Exceptional Bethesda residence offering the perfect blend of luxury, functionality, and thoughtful design. Built by renowned builder Laurence Cafritz, this 6-bedroom, 6.5-bath home spans over 8,000 sq ft across three impeccably finished levels, all with elevator access, and is situated on a sprawling half-acre lot in the coveted Tulip Hill neighborhood in the Whitman schools cluster.
At the heart of the home is a high-end chef’s kitchen featuring top-of-the-line appliances, premium finishes, and a large center island with seating. The open-concept layout flows seamlessly into a family room, spacious living and dining areas with a sunlit breakfast nook and multiple indoor-outdoor living spaces including a large screened-in porch with a cozy fireplace, perfect for year-round enjoyment.
Step outside to the fully fenced backyard, a beautifully landscaped and lighted oasis designed for entertaining, complete with a flagstone terrace, built-in grill station, pizza oven, gorgeous 18 by 45 foot pool with ample deck space, a flat grassy lawn, and a custom bocce ball court.
The main level also includes a welcoming living room, formal dining room, a versatile office or den, and an additional office space and mud room. The front of the home features a wireless dog fence. The house and backyard are connected to a Sonos system with 13 independent zones .
Upstairs, each bedroom is generously sized and features its own en suite bath. The luxurious primary suite is a true retreat, with a private balcony offering seasonal views of the Potomac River, a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, heated floors and separate steam shower that seats two, plus two massive walk-in closets.
The lower level is equally impressive, featuring a spacious recreation room with wet bar, a home gym, and a sixth bedroom with full bath. There is abundant storage space and a backup generator.
Ideally located in one of Bethesda’s most desirable neighborhoods, you're just minutes from Downtown Bethesda, Washington DC, Northern Virginia and the C & O Canal Trail.
