About this home
Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Bethesda, this remarkable offering presents a rare opportunity to own a stately, all-brick colonial in the highly sought-after Churchill school cluster. Boasting six bedrooms, five full baths, and one half bath, this impressive residence offers over 8,000 square feet of refined living space designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable everyday living. Freshly painted throughout, the home seamlessly blends timeless architectural details with a modern, open floor plan. Rich hardwood floors, beautifully updated bathrooms, and thoughtful finishes elevate every level of the home. The main level is elevated by a stunning sunroom addition that fills the home with natural light and creates a seamless flow between the formal living and dining rooms and the more relaxed everyday living spaces. A stately wood-paneled office on the main level offers a sophisticated and private space, ideal for working from home or quiet study. The inviting family room features a stunning stone fireplace, custom-crafted wood built-ins and sliding glass doors that open to the back deck, creating a seamless connection between indoor comfort and outdoor living.Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms provide ample space, including a luxurious primary suite complete with brand-new carpeting and a spa-like atmosphere. The fully finished walkout lower level expands the home's versatility, featuring two additional bedrooms, expansive recreation areas, gym space, a kitchenette, and fresh carpeting along the stairway, offering a welcoming retreat for guests or extended family. This home stands apart with features rarely found in the neighborhood, including 9-foot ceilings on the main level-an upgrade from the standard 8-foot ceilings-along with upgraded windows and sliding doors. Modern conveniences abound, from decora-style outlets and switches throughout to a sophisticated lighting system with LED upgrades and partial smart control integration. A fully integrated distributed audio system enhances key living spaces, while a comprehensive wired and wireless network with multiple access points ensures seamless connectivity throughout the home and outdoor areas. Security and efficiency are thoughtfully addressed with a recently inspected and approved security system, a full camera setup with front and rear coverage, video doorbell, and in-home DVR access. Additional highlights include an epoxy-coated garage floor, a dedicated HVAC zone for the primary suite, and a well-appointed lower-level inlaw suite featuring full windows, a private entry hall, walk-in closet, heated bathroom floors, and its own dedicated HVAC split system. Significant upgrades further enhance the home's value and appeal, including the addition of the sunroom, deck, and expanded lower-level space with soaring 9+ foot ceilings-ideal for a future golf simulator or home theater-completed in 2014. The roof and garage doors were also updated in 2014, with garage motors and coils replaced in 2021. A newly installed generator in 2023 provides backup power to essential areas, including the primary suite, kitchen, garage, lighting, and network systems. The primary bathroom was tastefully renovated in 2009, while a new powder room and two upstairs bathrooms featuring Toto and Waterworks fixtures were completed in 2021. This exceptional property offers a rare combination of space, craftsmanship, and modern amenities in one of Bethesda's most desirable locations. Nestled within the prestigious residential pockets of Bethesda, Charred Oak Estates offers a rare blend of privacy, space, and convenience. Ideally positioned with quick access to I-495 and I-270, the neighborhood provides seamless connectivity to Northern Virginia, Washington, D.C. and the surrounding region, while remaining just minutes from the vibrant amenities of Downtown Bethesda.
