Tucked away in a tranquil, picturesque setting in Bethesda’s sought after Parkwood community, 4717 Edgefield Road is a quintessential post war colonial, comprehensively reimagined to cater towards a more contemporary lifestyle. Prominently situated on a large corner lot, the home’s lofty position grants it dramatic curb appeal, augmented by its approach via an ascending series of brick steps.

Generously proportioned and flooded with natural light, the space features custom built-ins, motorized blinds, a roaring wood burning fireplace with floor-to-ceiling freshly painted brick wall, and the main staircase. New, radiant hardwood flooring is showcased throughout, and connects seamlessly with the modern ceramic wood-style tile newly installed in the kitchen area. With a vibrant, almost nautical color palette, the gourmet kitchen effortlessly blends form and function, with its custom two-tone cabinets, quartz countertops, and subway tile backsplash coexisting with a comprehensive suite of full-size stainless steel appliances. The adjacent dining area, one step down but fully open to the kitchen, is a versatile blend of formality and informality. A full bedroom suite with a stylish, sleek tiled bath discreetly occupies the main level’s opposite wing. It includes a private family room which can be configured to interact with the kitchen area, further augmenting the main level’s living space and flow. Also occupying a dedicated wing is the upper level primary suite. The bedroom features soaring cathedral ceilings with embedded skylights, which, combined with three sides of glass, creates a truly ethereal sensation. It connects to a unique boutique-style dressing area flanked by closet space, before introducing the primary bath which features a walk-in shower room. Three additional bedrooms, a large hall bath with double vanity, and a convenient laundry room complete the upper level. The walk up lower level features a kitchenette with direct outdoor access and an adjacent full bathroom. A capacious recreation room comprises the remainder of the space, ideal for large-scale entertaining and showcasing the home’s second wood burning fireplace. The oversized garage, spanning over 28 feet in depth, can be conveniently accessed directly. Newer mechanical systems, paint, and exterior video surveillance provide a peace of mind. The rear deck descends onto a paver patio, flanked by manicured landscaping and a generous grassy side yard. A new fence fully encloses the outdoor space to enable al fresco dining and entertaining in complete privacy. Livable, rich in amenities, and ideally situated in a central location bracketed by major commuter routes yet quietly charming, 4717 Edgefield Road is an opportunity for the discerning buyer.
