This exquisite luxury home features a high-level design with incredible attention to the smallest detail and considerable thought towards flow and entertaining.  A modern home in established Friendship Heights area neighborhood just blocks to Friendship Heights Metro, Whole Foods, shops, and restaurants.  This home is a total renovation, massive expansion, and redesign on a large (almost half-acre), landscaped lot.  The main level is amazing!  It starts with an inviting front porch which welcomes you into a large entry featuring a generous coat closet and a private powder room.  To the right is a spacious living room with a gas fireplace which is adjacent to the exceptional dining room that can easily accommodate 16 or more diners.  There is an amazing great room with three sides of windows ready for your larger gatherings, music, or relaxation.  The kitchen is a show-stopper with all the bells and whistles including THERMADOR professional appliances - opens to a large family room with original fireplace (and hidden closets). There is a main level (very private) office with gas fireplace.  Additionally, off the family room, there is a (screened) room with beautiful woodburning fireplace to extend your living space into the outdoors plus an additional flagstone patio.  The bedroom level features a master suite that is sure to please.   Well-designed space and light plus two tremendous walk-in closets.  The master bath is gorgeous featuring dual vanities plus separate walk-in shower and soaking tub.  Each of the other bedrooms on this level have en suite bathrooms and large closets. The custom laundry center on the bedroom level is not to be overlooked even though it is tucked away from other bedrooms.  The upper-most level features a huge open living space, additional two bedrooms plus a full bath.  The walk-out lower level features a large recreation room; wine cellar; bar area; storage; home theater; powder room; plus a mud room with doggy shower.  The oversized 550 sq ft two-car garage is on this level with inside entry into the home.    Friendship Heights Area just two blocks to Washington, D.C. and a few more to the Friendship Heights Metro Station, close to three major airports (less than 10 miles to National Airport).  Great commuter location and close to parks, recreation, and downtown Bethesda too.  High designed custom home with exposed beams and high-end custom finishes.  Lots of style and a few surprises!  This is not a plain vanilla or cookie cutter new construction. House with a lot of character!   This is a one of a kind special home that retains a few of the special original elements, while encompassing modern design, it is almost entirely brand-new.
