Description
Nestled in the prestigious Lone Oak neighborhood of Bethesda, this classical European-inspired residence boasts over 12,000 square feet of luxurious living space, making it one of the most coveted properties in Montgomery County. From the moment you arrive, the distinctive charm of this home becomes evident. The herringbone-patterned brick driveway, ornate wrought-iron railings, elegant arched windows, decorative columns, and prominent pediment all contribute to its unique character and timeless appeal. Upon entering the expansive front foyer, you are immediately struck by the intricate attention to detail and sophisticated elegance of the interior. The centerpiece of the foyer is a Renaissance-inspired hand-painted dome ceiling, adorned with wispy clouds and angelic figures. The tile flooring leads to a sweeping curved staircase crafted from rich wood and adorned with intricate wrought-iron railings, perfectly complementing the home's classical architectural style. Ascending the staircase, you reach a second-level foyer illuminated by natural light streaming through the picture window above the grand front door. A second hand-painted dome ceiling adds an artistic touch to the space while offering a view of the expansive great room below. The main-level foyer opens into a breathtaking great room featuring 20-foot floor-to-ceiling windows, a gas fireplace framed by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone chimney breast, and polished natural cherry wood flooring. This grand space seamlessly transitions into a gourmet kitchen designed with both functionality and entertaining in mind. The kitchen's centerpiece is a three-level Brazilian granite island with seating for three, beautifully contrasted by terracotta-tiled flooring. The space is outfitted with furniture-grade inset cabinetry, luxurious Brazilian granite countertops, and high-end Thermador appliances, including a refrigerator, wall ovens, and an island cooktop - a testament to impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail. Adjacent to the main kitchen is a fully equipped scullery kitchen, perfect for food preparation, catering, and additional storage. This secondary kitchen includes a commercial-grade BlueStar gas cooktop with a built-in hibachi, a powerful commercial-grade range hood, a spacious side-by-side refrigerator, and a secondary sink for added convenience. The private rear yard is a serene retreat, featuring a large Trex deck that overlooks a meticulously maintained 1,200 s/f herb and vegetable garden. Complete with its own drainage system and ambient barn-style lighting, the garden exemplifies both practicality and beauty, making it the perfect outdoor space for relaxation or entertaining. This home masterfully combines classical design elements with modern luxury, creating an unparalleled living experience in one of Bethesda's most desirable neighborhoods.
