OFFERS ARE DUE BY 5:00 P.M. ON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16TH. First Time on the Market! They simply don’t build them like this anymore. Timeless elegance defines this custom-built family estate — a stately center-hall Colonial set on three-quarters of an acre, just minutes from both downtown Bethesda and Potomac Village. Built with enduring craftsmanship, including solid plaster walls and gleaming oak hardwood floors, the home has been newly renovated to blend classic architectural detail with today’s sophisticated transitional style. Gracious rooms invite large-scale entertaining, while charming, more intimate spaces offer quiet retreat. Two wood-burning fireplaces on the main level — one in the living room and one in the den — are complemented by a third in the lower-level family room. Recent updates include: three beautifully renovated bathrooms; a reimagined kitchen with new flooring, quartzite countertops, and a GE Café appliance package; a remodeled laundry room with new washer and dryer; a renovated, daylight walk-out lower level featuring a spacious family room, large recreation area, full bath, and a flexible finished room perfect for a home office or sixth bedroom. Upstairs, five generous bedrooms with refinished hardwood floors and fresh paint throughout make the home move-in ready. An oversized, main-level two-car garage provides ample storage and includes space for an additional refrigerator. A massive, floored attic offers further storage or potential for expansion. Outdoors, the property is a true slice of heaven — with new sod, lush flower beds bursting with bulbs that will bloom come spring, and extensive hardscaping. A beautiful slate patio overlooks the expansive, sunlit lawn — perfect for entertaining or letting kids and pets play freely. A whole-house generator adds extra peace of mind. Serene, elegant, and truly one-of-a-kind — this exceptional property is not to be missed. Seller requests no showings prior to the first open house on Sunday, October 12th.
