Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage’s Ellen Wilner Lists French Chalet-Inspired Custom Home for $2.695 Million
Designed by owner, architect James Wilner, the home features exceptional detail.
Bethesda, MD (October 2, 2015) — Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage agent Ellen Wilner, of the Bethesda Downtown office, has just listed her personal residence at 8208 Caraway Street in Bethesda. The home has undergone an extensive expansion under the design and direction of her husband, the architect James Wilner. It is being presented for $2.695 million.
“When we purchased the home, it was only around 800 square feet, but the location was ideal,” noted Ellen Wilner. “James expanded the property to 8,500 square feet, which includes his office and artist’s studio and showcases his exceptional eye for detail. From the slate roof to the quarter-sawn oak hardwood floors, every element was chosen with care.”
Inspired by 17th century French chalets, this extraordinary home sits on a half-acre lot nestled on a country lane in the Cabin John section of Bethesda. Its spectacularly landscaped grounds feature a heated pool and lily pond with waterfalls, an exquisite Edwardian gazebo, Juliet balconies and exterior antique lighting fixtures, all of which contribute to a European feeling.
The home’s interior offers approximately 8500 square feet with 5 bedrooms, 5 full and 2 half baths, including a staff apartment. The spacious master suite boasts separate baths and dressing rooms, as well as a private roof-top sun terrace. Additional amenities include high ceilings, hardwood and faux flamme’ limestone floors, 3 wood-burning fireplaces, and a magnificent artist’s studio with a 20-foot ceiling. Every detail enhances the timeless elegance of this iconic property.
The home is within walking distance of the C&O Canal, the charming cafés and shops of Cabin John, and Glen Echo Park. Located inside the Beltway in the sought-after Walt Whitman school district, the home is close to downtown Bethesda, D.C. and Virginia, as well as airports and major thoroughfares.
