What This House Offers
This light-filled contemporary home is tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, set on a tranquil wooded lot with peaceful views in every direction. Expanded and... thoughtfully updated, the home offers a rare combination of modern comfort, privacy, and generous living space, all within the highly sought-after Whitman High School cluster. Major updates include a new HVAC system in 2025, a new roof in 2019, and a new water heater in 2023. The main level features an open floor plan that seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining area, and living room with fireplace, creating an inviting space for both everyday living and entertaining. A separate study provides an ideal work-from-home space. The expansive primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a spacious sitting area, walk-in closet, and en suite bath. Two additional bedrooms and a hall bath complete this level. The lower level adds exceptional flexibility with a spacious family room, an additional bedroom, a private office, and a separate in-law or guest suite with both interior access and its own private side entrance, making it ideal for extended family, guests, or a live-in nanny. Outside, enjoy a generous front yard and a beautifully private backyard surrounded by mature trees, offering a peaceful setting that feels tucked away while remaining close to everything Bethesda has to offer.
