Bethesda, MD 20817

Description:

Mid-century modern design meets 21st-century lifestyle at 6204 Clearwood Road—a truly exceptional residence that must be experienced in person to be fully appreciated. Tucked on a quiet street in Bethesda’s sought-after Kenwood Park community, this spacious home offers 5,480 square feet of living space across two levels, with 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. One of the home’s standout features is its fully fenced private backyard retreat, complete with an in-ground heated pool surrounded by meticulous landscaping, an expansive pool deck, a stone retaining wall, and generous flagstone patios and walkways with direct access to the lower-level family room and changing rooms. A side patio just off the kitchen provides additional outdoor living space with room for a full-size table, grill, and more. Two changing rooms are conveniently located adjacent to the house and patio, while a separate shed enclosure discreetly houses the pool equipment. This well-maintained home offers too many updates to list, including: 2-zone HVAC systems (2024, 2022), 40-gallon hot water heater (2024), kitchen update (2025), exterior painting (2025), new concrete driveway (2025), new lower-level LVP flooring (2025), pool heater replacement (2022), pool surround re-tiled (2025), professional landscaping (2025), new period-style light fixtures (2025), new carpet (2026), added recessed lighting, and fresh paint throughout the home. True to its mid-century modern character, the home showcases a cohesive blend of materials, with modern updates thoughtfully integrated alongside original architectural details. Distinctive floor-to-ceiling windows, cathedral ceilings, period-inspired light fixtures, a wet bar, a full bar with stained-glass inset cabinetry, a Sherle Wagner sink and marble-topped vanity in the powder room, and original hardwood floors all contribute to its architectural appeal. A flagstone walkway and front porch, artisan-carved wood double doors, and the glazed ceramic tile foyer creates a memorable first impression. Inside, the entry opens to a stunning main living space framed by walls of windows overlooking the rear pool area. Glass doors from both the living room and dining room open to the balcony. Just off the living room, the library features built-in bookshelves, a wet bar with liquor cabinet, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace set against a brick accent wall. The updated eat-in kitchen is appointed with quartz countertops, new stainless steel appliances (2025), a stainless farmhouse sink, cooktop with hood, double wall ovens, built-in workstation, and original solid wood cabinetry with pull-out shelving. A breakfast area with walk-out access to the side patio enhances everyday functionality, while a convenient mudroom/laundry room is located just off the kitchen. Privately situated on the opposite side of the main level, the primary suite offers abundant natural light, a walk-in closet, new carpet, and new light fixtures. The en-suite bath includes two vanity areas, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, and a walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms, both featuring built-ins for added storage, and a hall bath complete this level. The full-size walk-out lower level features a renovated family room with the home’s second fireplace set in a rustic brick accent wall, new LVP flooring, a new ceiling with recessed lighting, and direct access to the expansive flagstone patio and pool deck. Adjacent to the family room is a lounge area with a full bar and ample space for cocktail seating. Two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, a walk-in cedar closet, a large bonus room ideal for a home gym, playroom, media room, or office, and a utility room with abundant storage complete the lower level. Ideally located with easy access to dining, shopping, entertainment, major commuter routes, Bethesda Metro, nearby parks and recreation, and nationally rated golf courses. Top rated-MOCO schools further enhance the appeal!
