About the Listing COMPS2 - 70846,3311963

This gorgeous home is situated on a quiet, flat lot in Bethesda’s coveted Westmoreland Hills, with lush garden views from every room. Inside, the effortless flow between rooms is perfect for everyday living and gracious entertaining. The highly desirable layout also features four comfortably sized bedrooms, including a primary suite, all on the second floor. This is an immaculately maintained, thoughtfully updated residence in an idyllic setting, just a few blocks from the D.C. line. The exterior showcases timeless, quality materials: a Buckingham slate and copper roof, copper gutters, Bevolo lanterns, and flagstone paths edged in Belgian block. At the core of the home, the English-style kitchen is well-appointed and refined. A graceful arch over a limestone counter affirms that this is not a cookie-cutter build. Zellige tiles and slate floors add texture and character. A Sub-Zero fridge and Bosch dishwasher are concealed behind custom panels, while floor-to-ceiling cabinets provide abundant storage. The sunny breakfast area, with a soaring ceiling and skylight, invites morning lingering. French doors beckon to the patio and garden, where camellias, magnolias, hydrangeas and David Austin roses provide a succession of blooms, and the green backdrop persists year-round. A series of distinctive spaces radiate from the kitchen: a striking hexagonal library (equally suited to be a playroom or sunroom) lined with custom built-ins; an elegant dining room with views that extend out a generous bay window; and both formal living and family rooms, each with oversized windows and its own fireplace. A mudroom between the kitchen and garage keeps outerwear out of view. Upstairs, the primary suite feels quietly luxurious, with a claw-foot tub, walk-in closet, and charming study overlooking the gardens. Each of the other bedrooms can easily accommodate zones for sleeping, study, and storage. Having a washer and dryer on this floor eases mundane routines. The lower level offers versatility, with a full bath, third fireplace, custom built-ins, and adaptable space that can serve as a rec room or home gym. An additional legal bedroom or private guest suite is also possible, with an exterior door leading to a side patio. Modern enhancements have been integrated seamlessly. Automated irrigation and exterior lighting, an EV fast charger, a Ring doorbell, and a high-efficiency heat pump HVAC system ensure the home lives as beautifully as it looks. Just moments away, Westmoreland Park features tennis courts, a playground, and wooded trails that connect to the scenic Capital Crescent Trail. The shops and dining of Spring Valley — including neighborhood favorites Millie’s and Wagshal’s — are all walkable, while commuting is refreshingly convenient via Massachusetts Avenue or nearby access points into Virginia and greater Maryland.
