About This Home

As of April 2024

Offers due 3/1 2pm Welcome to 6208 Highland Drive, an expansive stately Georgian colonial nestled in the highly sought-after community of Kenwood. Iconic Cherry Blossoms grace the streets of this gorgeous, established neighborhood, just steps away from Downtown Bethesda. This luxurious residence is positioned on a 15,313 square-foot lot in one of Bethesda’s most esteemed neighborhoods. Originally built in 1952, it underwent a significant addition designed by the renowned Pagenstecher Group.
Upon entering, you'll be greeted by warm hardwood floors, exquisite trim work, custom millwork, numerous fireplaces, skylights, and abundant natural light. The thoughtfully designed layout seamlessly blends formal and informal living spaces, boasting over 7,000 square feet of finished interior space (based on tax records).
This elegant residence features a grand entry with gleaming wood flooring and two coat closets. The inviting living room boasts a fireplace with a granite surround. Beyond the living room is a spacious sunroom with a built-in hutch and a wall of windows. Adjacent to the sunroom is a banquet-sized dining room with display shelving. This room opens to the large chef’s kitchen. The expansive gourmet kitchen features a center island, fantastic prep space, recessed lighting, a skylight, two wall ovens, glass-front cabinetry, and a pass-through to the family room. The family room is adorned with a marble fireplace flanked by custom built-ins, an architecturally striking curved wall of glass with Palladian windows, and a wet bar area with a wine fridge and a marble counter. The main level is further complemented by an office/bedroom with custom built-ins and a fireplace, a full bathroom, a convenient mudroom/laundry room with an exterior entrance, and a tranquil deck off the hallway between the kitchen, dining room, and sunroom. This tremendous home has an excellent flow for entertaining!
The second level hosts four sizable bedrooms (two en-suites), three full bathrooms, and a delightful sitting area/lounge. The primary bedroom suite is thoughtfully designed with a dressing area, a walk-in closet, two additional closets, a delightful window bench, and a luxurious primary bathroom with an oversized soaking tub, a separate glass-enclosed shower, and a double vanity with ample drawer space. The primary bedroom connects to the second bedroom / nursery via a dual-entry bathroom. Fixed stairs lead to the fourth-level attic with voluminous storage space and a whole-house fan.
The finished lower level includes a recreation room with a fireplace, a wet bar, and bookcases, a spacious versatile living space / second family room with amazing natural light and a curved wall of windows, a fifth bedroom, a dual-entry full bathroom, two storage rooms, and access to the rear entry garage.
Situated on a large, picturesque lot with mature and professionally designed landscaping, the property is enhanced by a circular driveway with stone accents, Flagstone pathways, a rear patio, gorgeous hardscaping, a picturesque deck, and a rear entry two-car garage. Nestled on a tranquil, Cherry Blossom-lined Street in the heart of Kenwood, this location provides convenient access to downtown Bethesda, Little Falls Parkway, and the Capital Crescent Trail. Minutes away from the Metro, Kenwood Country Club, and Whole Foods.
