Craftsman, Transitional

Prominently situated in the heart of coveted Battery Park, 8006 Maple Ridge Road is a stunning modern farmhouse mere blocks from urban Downtown Bethesda. An inviting exterior introduces the home, highlighted by a cozy wraparound front porch lined in Pennsylvania Flagstone. Beneath a towering gable, the large solid wood and glass front door swings open to reveal an elegant foyer. Tall ceilings, artful lighting, wide-plank white oak flooring, and quadruple hinged eight-foot interior doors are a testament to superior quality of construction in which no detail has been overlooked. Off of the foyer, through hidden pocket doors, is a private study, featuring custom built-ins, a herringbone accent wall, and direct access to the porch. The main living area spans nearly the entire floor plan in a true open concept, establishing effortless flow to facilitate both large-scale entertaining and casual contemporary lifestyles. The family room’s floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and wooden beams overhead add a rustic touch to an otherwise sleek, modern space. A poster child for effective indoor/outdoor living, a stackable glass wall of doors folds away to reveal the stunning screened-in porch, whose electrically retractable screens enable a high degree of flexibility. A roaring wood-burning fireplace, quadruple Bromic heaters, and skylights enable al fresco lounging in all seasons. The kitchen is the heart of the home, with contemporary stacked white Cabico cabinetry complementing white Caeserstone quartz countertops, full-height tiled backsplash, and open shelving. A commercial-grade Wolf Range sits beneath a splendid custom hood, while a paneled SubZero full size refrigerator/freezer, dual Bosch dishwashers, an additional Wolf steam oven, and wine cooler complete the comprehensive appliance suite. The adjacent dining room is topped by a showstopping beamed, shiplap cathedral ceiling and features triple exposures, one of which directly accesses the screened porch. A large mudroom area with dog wash, full bath, walk-in pantry, and extensive custom lockers connects to the oversized, double-height garage. A private office off of the mudroom completes the main level. Ascending the illuminated staircase reveals a stunning primary suite. Automatic shades, a tray ceiling with cove lighting, and a generous dressing room with extensive built-ins further the luxury mission. Likewise, the stunning primary bath is clad in heated porcelain flooring, featuring the ubiquitous dual vanities, separate water closet, elegant freestanding tub, and walk-in steam shower. Three ample additional bedrooms each feature luxuries such as ensuite baths, walk-in closets, and automatic shades, while a large, convenient laundry room with integrated shelving completes the upper level. LVT flooring carries through the lower level, a space characterized by a large open recreation room, sixth full bath, and extensive storage. Out back, the fully fenced rear lawn is level and square, offering usability and privacy accented by a stylish stone retaining wall. Behind the scenes, the very latest in technology runs state-of-the-art systems within the home, including Lutron lighting, Klipsch surround sound, comprehensive security with integrated video surveillance, smart HVAC, tankless water heating, generator pre-wiring, and energy efficient construction. Convenient to shopping, dining, entertainment, parks, and the city while belonging to highly regarded schools, 8006 Maple Ridge Road showcases a new chapter in luxury living.
