Une Maison De Campagne Française

Simply a wonderful home, it would be completely at ease in the French countryside. Custom built in 2003 by Sandy Spring Builders and winning an award for excellence, this rare property has delightful touches at every turn. Generous yet cozy, refined but so livable. A gracious entry foyer welcomes one into the heart of the house. The remarkable kitchen is highlighted by a beamed cathedral ceiling morning room with a raised hearth fireplace, concrete counters and chef quality appliances. The inviting family room is graced by substantial mouldings and glass doors to the terrace. The main floor is highlighted by a sumptuous formal dinng room, welcoming salon, private office/music room, two powder rooms, laundry room and a side entry mud room. The sumptuous primary suite on the second floor features an extensive closet/dressing area. The updated and serene primary spa bath room has separate vanities, separate tub and glass shower. Here there is also an exercise area with a private balcony overlooking the rear garden. Four additional bedrooms and two more bathrooms- one connecting two bedrooms, one off the hallway- complete this level. The delightful top floor provides a homework/hobby area, two fun bedrooms each with a reading alcove, a full bathroom and a secret hideaway room little ones will love. The lower level, with recreation room, bedroom and full bathroom is highlighted by a wine cellar with custom murals evoking an Old Country vinyard. Extensive hardscape, custom lighting and lush landscape invite one to enjoy the rear garden. The vibrant downtown Bethesda locale is a close stroll away, one of the many appeals of the sought after Edgemoor neighborhood.
