Description
Upon entering the red marble foyer of this large and bright 1958 mid-century modern in Kenwood Park, you will know that you are in for a special experience. The original red marble floor foyer, intricate iron staircase, and original ceramic light fixtures (several throughout the house) invite you in and hint at the mid-century modern showpiece that awaits. From the period-correct, fully functional sauna, picture windows, original fireplace facade, and the flawless cedar closets very few homes in Bethesda have maintained these original design elements in such great condition.
The 4,339 sqft home sits on an approx. 1/3-acre lot with a fully enclosed terraced backyard, offering a private garden oasis with a patio on the main level, and a large verdant flat area perfect for a play set or sports goal on the lower level.
The main level includes 4 bedrooms, a bright living room with original fireplace and picture window, a dining room located off the kitchen, and a room off the carport that can be used as a sizable office or mudroom. The elegant and understated eat-in kitchen was completely renovated in 2015/2016 with stainless steel appliances and includes plenty of space for an island if desired. Spend your afternoons relaxing in the large, bright, and elegant first floor sunroom addition. This room is truly spectacular and only compliments and enhances the home's overall aesthetic.
The enormous bright walkout basement is complete with a fireplace, workout room, generous storage space, laundry room, full bathroom, new wood look tile flooring, cedar lined closets, and a fully functional luxury sauna. Situated less than 1.5 miles from Downtown Bethesda and walkable to Walt Whitman HS and Pyle MS.
