A rare find was created when renowned high-end builder Patrick Keating of PPK Construction built this home 10 years ago, and it remains the picture of perfection. From the wonderful wrap-around front porch, through a first floor boasting 10-foot ceilings, culminating with a screened-in porch and patio, the house elegantly flows into a flat backyard, perfect for entertaining. The 6 generous bedrooms and 5.5 baths afford ample space for a growing family, with room to spare for visitors, in-laws or work-from-home. The attached 2-car garage forms an elegant courtyard with a sweet welcoming front porch. The garage opens into a generous custom-built mudroom perfect for all sports and living gear. The impressive foyer provides a stunning view throughout the home peering to the landscaped private/fenced backyard. In addition to a formal dining room with coffered ceilings, there is a flexible first-floor formal living room/office /music room/ family library space. There are custom built-ins in the butler’s galley which houses one of the largest pantries in Bethesda and leads to the bright and open chef’s kitchen. A generous alcove for casual dining is equipped with large windows overlooking the garden. The kitchen is outfitted with a Subzero refrigerator and 6-burner Wolf range plus so much more. The kitchen spills into an amazing Family Room with a gas fireplace and French doors leading to the fabulous screened-in porch providing use for so many months of the year. Upstairs is a pristine Primary Bedroom Suite with all the bells and whistles one comes to expect in this level of construction, including 2 walk-in closets. Two bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bath, and the 4th bedroom has an ensuite bath. The Laundry room is on the second floor. Sparing no expense, the entire second floor boasts hardwood floors throughout. The third level is a large, bright hide-away office plus a guest bedroom with a full bath. The impressive lower level has a second cozy gas fireplace, and plenty of space for ping pong or a home theatre - all with a separate entrance. High ceilings continue in this finished basement, which also includes two rooms for offices or exercise/crafts spaces, and finally a legal bedroom and full finished bath. This extremely energy efficient luxury home has the perfect blend of classic construction, stunning details, and a contemporary flow and openness. Located on a cul de sac in woodsy and eclectic Glen Echo Heights, it provides easy access to the Capital Crescent Trail, C & O Canal, and public transportation to the shopping and entertainment of both Bethesda and DC. Finally, the house will convey with a membership to the lauded Mohican Swim Club, saving newcomers a 10-year wait to join a local institution.
