OFFERS DUE TUESDAY, FEB 15 AT 4:00PM. Tucked under the trees amongst Arrowoods beautifully landscaped lawns and homes of distinguished style, this brick-wrapped colonial makes admirers of passers-by with its palatial entry of plaster columns, broken pediment, slate hipped roof, and moldings beneath the eaves. Beyond the threshold, just over 5,000 square feet of living space are lined by hardwoods, luxurious trim, five masterfully framed fireplaces, and elegant historical character.

Thoughtfully renovated with modern touches, the chef will adore the sprawling kitchen where a bay of encasement windows wash sunlight over soft-close ivory cabinetry embellished with metallic hardware, professional appliances, and artful countertops. Here, prepare heirloom recipes for serving in the sunny dining room or share weekend bites at the island under the pendants. Within the enclosed patio, set occasions for lounging or dining, while outside, gatherings soak in the sun on slate pavers and stretch across nearly half an acre of professionally manicured green space dotted by mature shade, evergreen, and flowering trees.

Capture cherished memories in the grand entry, where a graceful centerpiece staircase spills down from the second floor setting the scene for perfect photographs. In evening, the staircase leads to four generously sized view-filled bedrooms, and three full refreshing baths. Throughout the home, living spaces create retreats for just the right mood. While the walk-out lower level with a fourth full bathroom is perfect for game nights by the bar, the wood-clad library with leaded glass inspires reading by firelight and working from home. Gather in the sunny sitting room or escape to the living room where rustic wood beams and a hand milled mantle add cozy bigone architecture. While on tour, note the convenient storage attic and spacious two car garage. This stately home, awaiting with endless potential from its showy corner lot, enjoys Arrowoods neighborhood of parklike balance with proximity to 495, Burning Tree Golf Club, Bethesda, and the excitement of Washington, DC.
