    What's special

    Cozy fireplaceWarm foyerThoughtful landscapingDetailed garage door woodworkBuilt-in shelvingBuilt-in cabinetryElegant wood-trimmed walls
    Welcome to this exceptionally crafted split-level home situated on a prime corner lot in Bethesda’s Maplewood/Alta Vista neighborhood. From the moment you arrive, the home's detailed garage door woodwork and welcoming front bench set a tone of timeless warmth, hinting at the decorative craftsmanship found within. Step inside onto newly refinished hardwood floors seamlessly anchored by rich wood baseboards and bannisters, a warm foyer, and built-in shelving. The light-filled living room boasts a dramatic vaulted wood-beamed ceiling, classic bay windows, and a cozy fireplace, while the adjoining dining area continues the motif with elegant wood-trimmed walls and built-in cabinetry. At the heart of the main level lies a magnificent, island-centered gourmet kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances, a double wall oven, a 6-burner built-in range, dual dishwashers, and an abundance of countertop and cabinet space designed effortlessly for both casual weeknight dinners and grand entertaining. The upper level features a bright primary bedroom suite complete with a private bath and walk-in shower, along with two additional spacious bedrooms and a second full bath. Downstairs, a thoughtful renovation transformed the former au-pair suite into an expansive family room with direct walkout access to the rear patio. This light-filled lower level also accommodates a fourth bedroom, a third full bathroom, and a dedicated home office—perfect for remote work. Just below, the lowest level provides a flexible open space ideal for a home gym, media room, or play area, complemented by a charming sliding barn door that opens to extensive dedicated storage rooms. Indoor living flows effortlessly to the outdoors through a pair of graceful French doors leading out to a sprawling, bi-level brick rear patio that spans the entire width of the home. Surrounded by thoughtful landscaping, the corner lot offers no compromise on green space, providing lush side and rear yard areas alongside a versatile storage shed that easily doubles as a detached hobby workshop. Beyond the lot itself, you are just two blocks from Maplewood/Alta Vista Local Park’s playgrounds and tennis courts, minutes from biking and hiking along Rock Creek Park's trails, and conveniently close to two Metro stations for easy access to D.C. With world-class entertainment at the nearby Music Center at Strathmore, and all the boutique dining and shopping of downtown Bethesda practically at your doorstep, this home truly combines suburban tranquility with urban convenience.
