Property Description
Tucked away on a leafy street in the heart of Bethesda, 8102 Thoreau Drive is a residence where timeless charm meets contemporary living. Encompassing over 3,100 finished square feet, the five-bedroom home has been thoughtfully designed to balance gracious entertaining with everyday comfort-each bedroom complete with its own ensuite bath, offering rare privacy and convenience. The primary suite is further enhanced by its own washer and dryer, with an additional set located on the lower level for ultimate household ease. Set on nearly half an acre, the grounds unfold like a private sanctuary. A lush garden frames the home, while a tranquil koi pond and a dedicated sport court create opportunities for both serenity and play. Expansive gathering spaces indoors and out make entertaining effortless, whether hosting an intimate dinner or a lively celebration. Inside, hardwood and tile floors lend warmth and texture, while two fireplaces anchor the living areas with a sense of tradition. Generous windows invite natural light, seamlessly blending the home's interior with its verdant surroundings. With abundant off-street parking and a setting that feels worlds away yet remains moments from Bethesda's vibrant core, this residence offers the rare promise of both retreat and connection-a home as elegant as it is inviting. Public record reflects total square footage of 3,168. Floor plan reflects total finished square footage of 3,195 (finished) and 4,950 (total including unfinished). All measurements are approximate.
