A few words about Bannockburn . . . The pretty, tree-lined streets and the magnificent location inside the Beltway combine to make this one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Bethesda. It’s also a place where people really do know their neighbors and where there is an intense pride in being part of the community. As many in Bannockburn like to say, “Bannockburn is less a place than it is a state of mind."
MAIN LEVEL HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE: A charming front porch and welcoming entry foyer, an inviting living room with a gas fireplace, and a large chef’s kitchen open to lovely living space suitable for dining and/or family living. Don’t miss the adjacent magical sunroom and the perfectly situated grilling deck overlooking the gorgeous rear yard. Another highlight of the main level is the large, private and impressive primary suite. Don’t miss the second ensuite bedroom, powder room and rear staircases leading to the upper and lower levels.
UPPER LEVEL HIGHLIGHTS: Three (3) additional generous-sized bedrooms and a renovated hall bath; custom closets in the bedrooms and abundant walk-in attic storage areas offering the potential for additional and significant finished living areas.
LOWER LEVEL HIGHLIGHTS: 6th bedroom and 4th full bath, along with a large, bright family/rec room and additional storage areas. Entry doors from the garage and rear yard into the exceptional mudroom/foyer provide a practical and convenient entry to the home after parking in the driveway or garage on Laverock Lane. This is also the door that one would use to walk the very short distance from the rear of the home down a well-maintained public path to the Bannockburn Pool.
EXTERIOR HIGHLIGHTS: Both front and rear yards have been professionally landscaped and lovingly maintained. The home offers two high quality composite decks, one off the kitchen and sunroom, perfect for grilling and another large, well-lit deck in the rear yard, perfect for entertaining and framed by a striking pavestone walk. The attention to detail in the yard, particularly the rear yard, makes for an exquisite and spa-like setting. Quite exceptional.
