8610 HARTSDALE AVENUE, Bethesda, MD 20817

Welcome home to this exceptional 5-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom Craftsman, ideally situated in the highly sought-after Bradmoor neighborhood. Spanning more than 6, 000 square feet across four beautifully appointed levels, this residence pairs classic architectural character with thoughtfully curated modern updates. A dramatic two-story foyer, crowned by a graceful staircase, sets an elegant tone from the moment you step inside. The main level is designed for both everyday living and gracious entertaining, with a formal living room, a formal dining room, and a fireplace-warmed family room that flows seamlessly into a gourmet kitchen appointed with an oversized island, premium appliances, and a light-filled breakfast area. A dedicated office on this level offers a refined space for work. The third level is home to four generously sized bedrooms and three full bathrooms, complemented by a laundry room and a striking overlook to the foyer below. The primary suite is a private sanctuary, featuring three walk-in closets, a wraparound private balcony, and a spa-inspired bath with a soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower, and dual vanities. The fourth level offers a private office, a fully equipped home gym (which could easily serve as a 6th bedroom), a sauna, and abundant storage — an elevated retreat for work and wellness alike. The finished lower level extends the home’s living space with a second family room and fireplace, a wet bar, an additional bedroom and full bathroom, a den, and a versatile bonus room ideal for a playroom, home classroom, or creative studio. Ideally situated, this home places you moments from downtown Bethesda’s premier dining, boutique shopping, and entertainment, as well as NIH, Suburban Hospital, Montgomery Mall, and the Capital Crescent Trail. Effortless access to I-270 and I-495, along with a direct commute into DC via Wisconsin Avenue or Old Georgetown Road, adds further convenience — all within the coveted Walt Whitman school cluster. This is more than a home — it’s a rare opportunity to live exceptionally well in the heart of Bethesda.
