Property Description
Meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated, this exceptional brick-and-cedar ranch offers over 5,000 square feet of sought-after main-level living on a private 1.05-acre wooded lot just minutes from downtown Bethesda, the Metro, and downtown Washington, DC. With 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, four wood-burning fireplaces, and timeless architectural details, this home offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and convenience. A soaring skylit foyer welcomes you into expansive living spaces filled with natural light. The living room features a painted brick fireplace, wet bar, and walls of glass overlooking the private setting, while the dramatic great room showcases vaulted ceilings, a striking stacked-stone fireplace, and seamless access to the outdoors. The kitchen features a gas cooktop island, Butler's pantry, wine refrigerator, updated appliances (2018), breakfast area, screened porch, and formal dining room designed for entertaining. A renovated laundry room (2024) and attached garage with a resurfaced floor (2025) complete the ease of one-level living. The spacious primary suite includes vaulted ceilings, three custom walk-in closets (2025), and a spa-inspired bath renovated in 2023 with heated floors and a freestanding soaking tub. A second main-level bedroom offers its own fireplace, custom library shelving with a rolling ladder, and a renovated ensuite bath (2024). The walk-out lower level provides two additional bedrooms, a full bath, flexible recreation or fitness space, and abundant storage. A bluestone patio offers a peaceful, private setting for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. Recent improvements include a freshly painted exterior, new roof, chimney caps, repaved driveway with lighting (all 2025), dual HVAC systems (2013) that have been meticulously maintained, and a whole-house generator for added peace of mind. 6800 Melody Lane is a rare offering that combines exceptional craftsmanship, modern updates, and a premier Bethesda location.
