7105 Nevis Rd, Bethesda, MD 20817

Bannockburn Estates was developed in the late 1940’s but many of the houses were built in the 1960’s. 7105 Nevis was built in 1969, the end of the mid-century modern era and has the typical features like very wide, low footprint with large, open spaces, floor-to-ceiling windows, and an emphasis on bringing the outdoors in. Spectacular in a more modest way, the flagstone steps lead to a large landing in front of the double front doors. The foyer is large and bright with floor to ceiling windows that flank the front doors and two skylights that bathe the room in natural light all day long. To the right is the main living area with the newly renovated kitchen, family room with pitched cathedral ceilings, double-sided fireplace and an adjacent, majestic living room on a separate level. All with floor to ceiling windows and skylights. To the left of the foyer is the expansive primary bedroom suite with two full baths and two large walk-in closets. Down the hall are two additional bedrooms, a hall bath and a separate laundry room (it has a window!). The bedrooms share the west wing of the residence with a wall of windows and a clear light door to the private backyard and pool. The lower level offers a 540sf recreation room, another bedroom and another full bath. Prominently sited on over one half acre, this sylvan setting is private on all sides. The interior blends seamlessly with the exterior. The turned driveway is elevated off the street and hidden with mature landscaping and there is an oversized two car garage with a separate workroom. The pièce de résistance is definitely the backyard pool area with spacious two level patio and perfect privacy. Mature, majestic trees and shrubs line the boundaries and the natural landscaping offers low maintenance enjoyment all year round. The subtle commanding presence of this home is unmistakable.
