Rare opportunity inside the Beltway in Drumaldry, a highly coveted 104-home enclave specifically designed for ultimate peace and privacy. A single entrance road where every street terminates in a cul-de-sac keeps local traffic and noise to an absolute minimum. Tucked at the top of the neighborhood on a quiet lane, this striking California Contemporary detached home offers impressive European scale beneath a classic, recently serviced cedar-shake roof. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings, sprawling light-filled rooms, and beautifully refinished hardwood floors throughout. The dramatic living room showcases incredible ceiling heights and brand-new custom picture windows that frame stunning, serene backyard views. Featuring 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a large 2-car garage, the home also includes a cozy gas fireplace, ample attic storage, and a fully integrated smart-home system managing lights, climate, security, shades, leak detection, and irrigation from a single app. Major recent capital improvements include a new HVAC system, washer/dryer, refrigerator, and a fully updated garage door system. Out back, a private brick-fenced garden sanctuary awaits - complete with a dedicated greenhouse and a signature mature Japanese maple. The walkable location simply cannot be beat: convenient to Wyngate Elementary and North Bethesda Middle Schools, with downtown Bethesda, I-495, NIH, and Walter Reed just minutes away. Expected active date is 9/1/2026. This architectural gem won't last - your new home awaits!
