Contemporary

Steps away from urban Downtown Bethesda is 5106 Wilson Lane, set back on a quiet tree-lined, slow-moving portion of the famed street. With its right angles and mix of wood siding, stucco, and glass, the home’s contemporary design is a stark departure from more traditional styles, symbolizing the Bethesda of the future. The floor plan comprises nearly 6,000 finished square feet of premium living space spread across four open-concept levels. The entire main level nearly consists of a single unbroken space encompassing living, dining, and kitchen areas. The former boasts a modern linear fireplace with accordion-style doors, fully opening up the space to indoor/outdoor living, allowing the rear patio to seamlessly extend the living space. The latter is stunning, with its oversized natural stone waterfall center island, minimalist European cabinetry, and a full suite of SubZero-Wolf appliances, including a column wine chiller. It opens up to an inviting screened-in porch ideal for dining al fresco. Ascending the light-filled wood and glass staircase reveals the first upper level, home to a spectacular primary suite. Its amenities are boundless — a separate sitting room with fireplace, custom walk-in closet with extensive built-ins, and spa-inspired bath with twin vanities, freestanding soaking tub, and jetted shower combine to make the space a total escape. The two secondary bedrooms on this level are both ensuites. On the top level are three additional bedrooms, two of which share a large buddy bath with separate vanities. This level’s party piece is the rooftop deck which offers stunning views of the downtown skyline, a truly unique feature. For the entertainer, the lower level boasts every attraction—from a recreation room to a wet bar, fitness studio, temperature-controlled wine grotto, professional home cinema, and additional full bath—with each element executed to perfection. The entertainment does not stop once out back, as the rear patio steps down to an oversized hot tub nestled in a private, cozy corner. On the opposite side of the rear lawn is the fully-equipped outdoor kitchen, whose adjacent roaring fireplace is the ideal gathering spot for s’mores or stargazing on a brisk night. With its walkable location, the home belongs to one of the nation’s finest school clusters and is easily accessible to Bethesda, Chevy Chase, DC, and major commuter routes. Combining this unbeatable location with all of the square footage, amenities, and designer touches found within the home, 5106 Wilson Lane is for the most discerning buyer.
