Wow, newer construction in Luxmanor, on a cul-de-sac, and a nearly half-acre level lot! This one checks all the boxes. From the welcoming slate walkway and front porch, enter the freshly painted foyer and appreciate the 10 foot ceilings on the main level and the elegant staircase – one of two staircases to the upper level. The main floor has it all: the coveted home office with custom built-ins, the elegant living and dining rooms, separated by a butler’s pantry with a wine fridge, the gourmet kitchen with newer Architectural Ceramics backsplash, Thermador double wall ovens, a Viking 6-burner cooktop, a Bosch dishwasher next to the sink, with the ideal kitchen window, and a Fisher Paykel drawer dishwasher in the center island with a second sink and seating for four, a desk in the kitchen AND a walk-in pantry. The main level also includes a large eating area in the kitchen, which all integrates with the perfect family room, with a tray ceiling, one of three gas fireplaces, and a custom screened porch off the family room. For those warmer spring or cooler summer days, open the door to the screened porch for true indoor/outdoor living. Off the kitchen, French doors open to the composite deck: the perfect spot for the grilling. The backyard is fully fenced and includes a slate path, pergola and gas-plumbed fire pit. Back inside, don’t miss the large mudroom with cubbies and closet space, and a second clothes dryer, conveniently located where you enter from the three-car garage. The garage includes two 220V outlets. Up the second staircase from the kitchen, the upper level includes five bedrooms and four full baths, including the spacious primary suite with the second gas fireplace, a walk-in closet with custom built-ins, and a spacious primary bathroom with a huge shower and a separate soaking tub. One added convenience: the upstairs laundry room with newer LG machines and granite countertops. On the lower level, you’ll find a generous rec room with its own bar area, a workout room with a rubber floor, a media/gaming room, a powder room, and bedroom number six with its own en-suite bath and walk-up exit to the backyard. The home is equipped with a newer water heater (2019) with an additional storage tank, a dual zoned HVAC System which is an energy efficient geothermal system, with furnace humidifier and electronic air cleaner. The home also includes an inside sprinkler system and an exterior irrigation system. All of this, and all the North Bethesda neighborhood has to offer: easy access to commuter routes and Red Line Metro, close to shopping, restaurants and more at nearby Pike and Rose to the north, Wildwood Shopping Center to the south, and refreshed Cabin John Village to the west with more shopping and dining options. Looking for recreation? The Tilden Woods Pool is just down Tilden Lane, with memberships available. Cabin John Park is just down Tuckerman Lane, with its playgrounds, trails, ice rink and more. With all of these amenities, inside and out, this is the perfect place to call “home!”
