Striking modern architecture and refined luxury come together in this exceptional contemporary residence, set on over ONE ACRE of rare, private land just moments from downtown Bethesda, an extraordinarily hard-to-find combination of scale, privacy, and proximity. Defined by clean lines, expansive windows, and warm architectural materials, the home blends modern design with its natural surroundings, creating a private retreat that feels both sophisticated and serene. Recently reimagined with a thoughtfully updated layout and beautifully renovated baths, the residence spans over 5,400 square feet of light-filled living space designed for effortless everyday living and elevated entertaining. Inside, the home showcases rich hardwood flooring throughout the upper level and sleek modern tile on the main level, reinforcing a thoughtful balance of warmth and contemporary style. Soaring ceilings and oversized windows bring in abundant natural light while maintaining privacy throughout. Designer finishes, motorized shades, and a Savant smart-home system enhance the home’s modern functionality without sacrificing comfort. The gourmet kitchen anchors the main living level, offering generous prep space, high-end finishes, and exceptional pantry and storage capacity—an uncommon luxury in modern homes—featuring Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances designed for both serious cooking and seamless entertaining. Open living and dining areas flow effortlessly to the outdoors, creating a layout equally suited for intimate evenings or large-scale gatherings. The upper level features four spacious bedrooms and four beautifully updated full baths, including a luxurious primary suite designed as a true private retreat. The primary suite opens to a private balcony and features a spa-inspired bath with a soaking tub, steam shower, double vanities, a private water closet, and thoughtfully designed architectural and ambient lighting that elevates the experience from day to night. Secondary bathrooms are all well-appointed and recently redone, featuring a soaking tub and sleek tiled showers with modern finishes throughout. The main level includes an additional bedroom and full bath, ideal for guests, an office suite, or flexible living arrangements. Outdoors, the property unfolds into a true resort-style sanctuary. A dramatic front-entry fountain sets the tone on arrival, while the expansive rear patio, lush privacy, and stunning pool with an electronic cover create an outdoor oasis rarely found so close to downtown Bethesda. Whether hosting poolside gatherings, enjoying quiet mornings surrounded by nature, or unwinding at the end of the day, the setting offers a level of space and tranquility that is nearly impossible to replicate. Additional highlights include a garage with a striking glass-panel door, abundant storage throughout, and a location that delivers the best of both worlds: over an acre of land with immediate access to Bethesda Row, dining, shopping, and Metro.
