There are homes that are renovated, and then there are homes that are genuinely reimagined. This Craftsman beauty in Bethesda's Mass Ave Forest sits firmly in the second category. From the moment you arrive, the curated front garden, the covered porch with its beadboard ceiling, and the warm wood front door set a tone that carries through every room. <br><br> Inside, the main level lives the way a family actually wants to live. The kitchen is the kind you cook in and linger in, with white shaker cabinetry, dark granite countertops, a gas range, and a big island that invites conversation while dinner is being made. A handsome built-in wet bar bridges the dining room and the great room addition, which is where the home truly reveals itself. Vaulted ceiling, LED cove lighting, a striking hand-crafted birch fireplace surround, and walls of windows looking into the trees create a room that feels equally right for a quiet Sunday morning and a dinner party for twenty. <br><br> The confidence to enjoy all of this comes from knowing that everything behind the walls is new. Both the second floor and all major systems, including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, roof, and windows, were replaced or newly installed as part of two major permitted renovations completed in 2019 and 2022, representing more than $800,000 in improvements. The primary suite reflects that same investment, with a tray ceiling, LED cove lighting, a marble bathroom with frameless glass shower, and a custom walk-in closet. The finished lower level adds a media room with a wood-burning stove and a custom wet bar with wine refrigerator. <br><br> Step outside and the experience continues. A deck elevated into the treetops offers a perch above the sculpted garden below, while a covered pavilion at ground level wraps a seven-person Hot Spring hot tub with open-air window walls framing the flowering azaleas and mature trees. Heaters, an outdoor television, and built-in speakers mean this space gets used in January as happily as in July. A fully integrated smart home system, including Philips Hue lighting throughout, Brilliant in-wall control panels, and Ring security, all convey with the home. <br><br> The neighborhood amplifies everything. Merrimack Pool, a beloved member-owned community pool in the Bannockburn neighborhood with a seven-lane competition pool, diving well, kiddie pool, and swim and dive teams, is just steps away, and an equity membership conveys with the home. Glen Echo Park, the C&O Canal towpath, and the Capital Crescent Trail are minutes away. Downtown Bethesda is close. And this address feeds into Walt Whitman High School, one of the top-rated public high schools in Maryland.
