8609 Darby Place is a one of a kind custom designed and built residence, offering approximately 6,435 SF of finished living space on three levels. It features a main floor Primary Suite, ideal for those who prefer one-level living yet desire substantial space for family and guests. This Custom Contemporary in Bradley Hills of Bethesda, MD, is nestled on a private, beautifully landscaped 0.94-acre lot. Located on a tranquil cul-de-sac, just a short bike ride from the C & O canal. The expertly designed, lush, extensive hardscape and landscape instantly create a sense of calm and serenity. Its open floor plan allows the home to interact seamlessly with the surrounding gardens, walkways, and multiple patios, providing the perfect backdrop for hosting intimate gatherings or significant events. The main level boasts an expansive open foyer, an extraordinary living room with vaulted ceilings, a gas fireplace, a wall of sliding glass doors, a sunroom and a large bright dining room. The chef's kitchen has been completely remodeled, with white, honed marble countertops, high-end appliances, and hand-crafted cream-white, custom-made solid wood cabinetry. The breakfast/family room off the kitchen can comfortably seat 6-8 people and opens to an outdoor area for grilling and more. The private and large home office features built-ins, wood-crafted panels, a mini-wet bar, and a second gas fireplace. The main level also includes the beautiful primary suite with solid cherry-wood floors and a spa-like owner's bathroom featuring a Waterworks tub, Newport brass polished nickel hardware, steam shower, a custom vanity with double sinks, honed marble marble tops and two separate walk-in closets. Also on the main floor is an oversized mudroom/laundry room with extensive storage, a family powder room, a guest powder room, and a large two-car garage with a large storage room. The home's upper level consists of two spacious and bright guest suites, each with an updated private bathroom featuring waterfall/rain showers and walk-in closets. In addition, there are multiple walk-in closets and access to two bright, large attic storage areas. The walk-out lower level features a vast and open family/recroom, a full-size bar, pool table space and a movie-watching space with a wood-burning fireplace, a third en-suite guest bedroom with full natural light, walk-in closet, and a walk-out to yet another landscaped patio. Three more storage closets on this level provide outstanding space for the organized homeowner. A sauna, the fifth full bath, an enormous flex space, and two large mechanical/storage rooms are also on the lower level. The property can easily accommodate 8-10 vehicles in designated parking pads. Many upgrades and updates include a new roof and new steel-lined chimney flues.
