    What's special

    Great New Price! Welcome to 4557 Fairfield Drive, blending timeless charm and thoughtful updates with exceptional curb appeal. The classic façade is complemented by a wraparound front porch, creating a warm and inviting presence while providing the perfect setting for outdoor lounging, dining, or simply enjoying the neighborhood streetscape. Elevated above the street and approached by a stone walkway, the property is framed by a manicured lawn, mature trees, and seasonal plantings. From every angle, the property reflects a seamless blend of classic design, modern livability, and inviting outdoor spaces. At the heart of the home, a stunning Poggenpohl kitchen sets a tone of understated luxury and precision design. Clean-lined European cabinetry in warm wood tones is paired with sleek matte finishes, creating a refined yet welcoming aesthetic. Expansive waterfall-edge quartz islands provide striking visual impact while offering generous space for cooking, gathering, and entertaining. Outfitted with integrated, top-tier Miele appliances—including a built-in coffee system, wall ovens, and a professional-grade gas cooktop—the kitchen is thoughtfully designed for both form and function. Custom storage solutions are seamlessly incorporated throughout, maintaining the minimalist elegance Poggenpohl is known for. The space flows effortlessly into adjacent living and dining areas, making it equally suited for everyday living and sophisticated entertaining. Upstairs, the bedroom level offers a well-balanced and functional layout. The primary suite features two closets—including a walk-in—and a private en suite bath, creating a comfortable retreat. This level also includes a second bedroom and full hall bath, as well as a smaller third bedroom ideal for a home office, nursery, or flex space. Laundry is conveniently located on this floor. The top floor expands the home’s versatility with two additional bedrooms and a full bath. The fully finished lower level is anchored by a sleek Poggenpohl-designed secondary kitchen and bar area. A large central island with seating serves as a natural gathering point, complemented by integrated appliances and a wine refrigerator—ideal for entertaining. Custom built-ins provide concealed storage while maintaining clean, modern lines, and the open layout transitions seamlessly into a media lounge, enhanced by a textured feature wall, warm wood cabinetry, and durable tile flooring. Originally built in 2005, this home has been extensively updated and meticulously maintained, reflecting true pride of ownership. Major improvements include a redesigned paver driveway, along with an attractive fence anchored by stone pillars. Interior renovations have thoughtfully modernized the home, including updates to both powder rooms, a renovated third-floor bathroom, and a significant main-level remodel featuring new flooring and updated porch windows and doors. Mechanical systems have also been carefully maintained, with HVAC systems replaced (2018), water heaters updated (2020), and a new sump pump installed (2026). This A+ location provides easy access to Metro (NIH or Bethesda), along with the vibrant dining, shopping, and cultural amenities of downtown Bethesda. Just minutes from NIH, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, and Rock Creek Park, this highly walkable location perfectly balances neighborhood tranquility with urban convenience.
