NEW PRICE! Tucked away on a generous lot in the heart of one of Bethesda’s most sought-after neighborhoods, 6511 Callander Drive makes you feel like you are at a private retreat from the moment you pull up. Step inside to a bright, airy interior freshly painted from top to bottom. The main living area is a true showstopper, featuring soaring vaulted ceilings and massive windows that flood the space with natural light. Whether you’re curling up by one of the fireplaces on a chilly evening or hosting friends, the flow is effortless. Just off the living room, the updated modern kitchen is a chef’s dream, outfitted with sleek stainless steel appliances and an abundance of cabinet storage to keep everything organized and within reach.
