    Welcome to 6511 Kenhowe Drive, a beautiful Mid-Century Modern residence nestled in the highly sought-after Bannockburn community of Bethesda. Thoughtfully expanded and extensively renovated in three phases (2004, 2006, and 2019) by ART Design Build and GrossMueller’s Design, Consultants, this exceptional four-five bedroom, three-bathroom home seamlessly blends timeless architectural character with modern comfort, style, and functionality. Renowned for its strong sense of community, tree-lined streets, and proximity to premier amenities, Bannockburn remains one of Bethesda's most desirable neighborhoods. Ideally situated just moments from Merrimack Park, two neighborhood pools (Merrimack and Bannockburn), Glen Echo Park, downtown Bethesda, and the Capital Crescent Trail, this location offers an unmatched combination of convenience, recreation, and peaceful suburban living. The historic Bannockburn Clubhouse houses a nursery school and serves as a vibrant frequent gathering place for neighborhood events and activities. The inviting living room is anchored by a gas fireplace and framed by oversized windows that fill the space with natural light. The adjoining dining area opens through large glass doors to an expansive deck with outdoor speakers overlooking a beautifully landscaped backyard, creating the perfect setting for both indoor-outdoor entertaining and everyday living. An adjacent office nook offers a flexible and private work-from-home space with built-in storage and utility access. Bathed in natural light, the main level features an expansive open-concept floor plan enhanced by soaring vaulted ceilings, oversized windows, several sun tunnels and seamless flow between living spaces. At the heart of the home, the renovated kitchen showcases a skylight, built-in speakers, custom cherry cabinetry, soapstone countertops, newer stainless steel appliances, and direct connection to the spacious living and dining areas. A large pantry with sliding frosted doors provides abundant storage and organization. The luxurious primary suite serves as a private retreat, featuring vaulted shiplap ceilings, recessed lighting, a spacious custom walk-in closet, and direct access to the rear deck. Inspired by a spa-like design, the en-suite bath includes a freestanding soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, dual vanities, heated floors and towel rack, and refined finishes throughout. Two additional bedrooms on this level offer generous proportions, abundant natural light, and ample closet space. The hall bathroom is beautifully appointed with tile flooring, a dual-sink vanity, a tub/shower combination and gorgeous custom cabinetry. The expansive lower level provides exceptional flexibility with a large recreation room, fourth bedroom, a third full bath, and a bonus room that is very versatile and can serve as a 5th bedroom, media room, fitness area, or playroom. High ceilings and oversized windows create bright, comfortable living spaces rarely found in lower levels. There is an abundance of storage on this level and a utility /laundry room with a door leading to crawl space storage and the backyard. Set on a picturesque lot framed by mature dogwoods, azaleas, crape myrtles, and other established landscaping, this exceptional property embodies the beauty and tranquility that define life in Bannockburn. Residents take pride in the neighborhood's welcoming spirit, top-rated schools, abundant parks and trails, and convenient access to downtown Bethesda and Washington, D.C. As many Bannockburn residents proudly say, "Bannockburn is less a place than it is a state of mind."
