Behind a tall brick retaining wall and custom iron fencing, a courtyard unfolds around a koi pond, two covered porches, and brick walkways that set the tone before you reach the front door. This is a home built for people who notice details. Twenty years of thoughtful renovation shaped an interior where quarter-sawn white oak, slate, and walnut meet hammered stone and bamboo cabinetry, all beneath cathedral ceilings and custom millwork. The kitchen mixes professional appliances with a wet bar and generous eat-in space, opening to a family room warmed by hammered-stone walls. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living and dining rooms, made for the evenings you actually want to slow down for. Two primary suites give this house a rare kind of flexibility: one on the main level with a private stone bath and a bidet, the second upstairs with its own sitting room. Upstairs, the generous primary suite includes multiple closets and a sitting room, the en-suite bathroom boasts a glass and stone-enclosed shower with seat and a bidet. A third bedroom doubles easily as an office. Below, a separate-entry efficiency apartment with its own kitchenette and bath, plus an exercise room and remarkable storage, opens quiet possibilities for guests or extended stays. Pella windows, dual HVAC zones, a propane backup generator, and EV charging round out a home as considered mechanically as it is architecturally. Walkable to Bethesda, Walter Reed, and NIH, with Metro close by — a distinctive offering, thoughtfully built to last. Some homes impress with their size. Others with their craftsmanship. At 4105 East-West Highway, it's the combination of the two, together with an exceptionally gracious floor plan, that makes this custom-built residence so special. From its welcoming front wild life yard habitat to its beautifully proportioned interiors, the home reflects a thoughtful balance of timeless architecture, exceptional custom craftsmanship, and modern comfort.
