Nestled along a private drive, behind a stately wrought-iron gate, 5809 Grosvenor Lane is a place where time slows and life unfolds like a beautifully written novel. This updated and enchanting circa-1908 expanded farmhouse, bathed in golden sunlight, sits within a secure gated enclave of just four custom homes, offering a rare combination of allure, privacy, and modern elegance. Expanded and renovated with care, 5809 Grosvenor Lane offers timeless charm with modern comforts - think gracious front porches, sun-drenched rooms, and wood-burning fireplaces. The 29,000 s.f. verdant lot is accentuated with flagstone walkways, flowering garden nooks, and a backyard big enough for stargazing, or an over-the-top game of hide-and-seek. The outdoor stone fireplace sets the scene for evening gatherings, while multiple covered porches beckon for lazy Sunday mornings. Parking is plentiful, enough for any family reunion. Inside, warmth radiates from every thoughtfully designed space. The formal living room, with its crackling fireplace, flows into an oversized reception room (or dining room), gracious enough for any configuration. A butler’s pantry with wet bar (complete with wine fridge, because priorities) makes entertaining a breeze. In the gourmet kitchen, a sun-drenched breakfast room and cathedral-ceilinged family room create the ultimate heart of the home. Through the attached two-car garage, a hidden treasure awaits — a sprawling studio space above, perfect for an artist’s retreat, a dedicated Zoom classroom, or a private home gym bathed in natural light. Upstairs, the owner’s suite is a sanctuary unto itself - a crackling fireplace, a private sunroom, and a spa-like bathroom with a dual-entry shower and luxurious soaking tub offer the perfect escape. It includes a sun-filled sitting room perfect for home office, sewing space, or quiet retreat. A second en-suite bedroom rounds out this level, while the third floor boasts three more bedrooms, two full baths, and another sitting area perfect for reading, working, or lounging. The lower level provides ample storage and exterior access, laundry, and utility, ensuring plenty of room for life's extras. 5809 Grosvenor Lane is a fastidiously maintained, secluded retreat conveniently located near Wildwood Shopping Center (Balducci's, Starbucks, FishTaco, CVA, and more), downtown Bethesda, the Metro, the Strathmore Arts Center, NIH and Walter Reed Medical Center. Served by Ashburton, North Bethesda, and WJ schools, the home is close to Rochambeau, Bethesda Country Day, Landon School, Woods Academy, and the YMCA. Steps to the Bethesda Trolley Trail and two playgrounds. 5809 Grosvenor Lane isn’t just a house - it’s a warm, welcoming embrace, wrapped in history, charm, and just the right amount of whimsy. Welcome home!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
