Property Description

Welcome to 5300 Alta Vista Road, an impressive Bethesda residence where gracious proportions, timeless character, and exceptional versatility come together in a coveted neighborhood setting. Framed by mature trees and beautifully established landscaping, this substantial home unfolds across three finished levels, offering six bedrooms, five baths, and an attached garage with an abundance of space for both everyday living and sophisticated entertaining. Inside, expansive windows fill the home with natural light, while hardwood floors and classic architectural details lend warmth and refinement throughout. The main level offers a series of beautifully proportioned living spaces, including an elegant living room, a gracious dining room with direct access to the rear terrace, and an inviting family room centered around a classic fireplace and oversized bay window. The well-appointed kitchen features generous cabinetry, extensive preparation space, stainless steel appliances, and an effortless connection to the home's entertaining spaces. The upper level is anchored by a generously scaled primary suite, complete with a beautifully organized walk-in dressing room and private bath featuring a dual vanity and glass-enclosed shower. Three additional bedrooms, two full baths, and a dedicated laundry room create a thoughtful and highly functional bedroom level. The finished lower level offers another dimension of flexibility, with a spacious recreation room, two additional bedrooms and 1.5 baths. Whether envisioned as private guest quarters, executive office space, a fitness suite, or an additional lounge, the layout adapts effortlessly to a variety of lifestyles. Beyond the interiors, the expansive rear terrace creates a private outdoor retreat surrounded by mature greeneryan idyllic backdrop for al fresco dinners, weekend gatherings, or quiet evenings at home. A fenced yard, manicured grounds, attached garage, and private driveway further enhance the home's appeal. The setting is equally compelling. Maplewood-Alta Vista Park is just down the street, placing acres of green space, tennis and basketball courts, playing fields, and a neighborhood playground within easy reach. Nearby trails invite morning walks and weekend bike rides, while Wildwood Shopping Center offers a convenient collection of dining and everyday destinations. Downtown Bethesda and Bethesda Row are also moments away, with acclaimed restaurants, boutiques, cafs, and entertainment. Generous in scale, beautifully situated, and remarkably versatile, this is refined Bethesda living with the space to accommodate every chapter.
