Accessed via Blackthorn St & Alley and situated on a charming English courtyard, this rare 5BR/5.5BA contemporary has been enjoyed by its current owners for 30 years. Majestic trees, mature shrubbery, and vibrant ivy adorn the lovely .31-acre lot which offers generous space for lawn expansion. Composed of beautiful white brick, the front elevation boasts tall double entry doors with sidelights, an integrated window box, and a balcony. The spacious interior offers an open floor plan nicely distributed over 4 split living levels while lush views through oversized windows bring the beautiful outdoors in. A fresh neutral paint palette, golden hardwood flooring, and translucent Shoji sliding doors create harmony throughout. Main level highlights include an airy entry foyer, a stunning connected living and dining room with patio access, a granite/stainless kitchen with a breakfast area, and a powder room. Off the lower foyer is a large family room with one of two fireplaces, a full bath, and a laundry room. On the upper level is a private generous owners’ retreat with a luxurious bathroom and walk-in closet as well as two additional bedrooms and a stylish updated hall bathroom with steam shower. Above grade on the east side, the wonderfully versatile lower living level offers multiple work-study areas, a recreation room, a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, and a separate apartment with sitting room, kitchen, and an office all of which are well suited to a home practice or multi-generational living. An attached rear loading 2-car garage, a new roof, and a newer AC unit round out the package. Close to country clubs, downtown Bethesda, Washington DC, and major travel routes, this location is ideal! *Elementary Schools: Rosemary Hills (PreK-2nd); Chevy Chase (3rd-5th)*.
