Welcome to 8625 Fenway Road, a timeless 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom brick colonial nestled in the highly sought-after Congressional Manor neighborhood of Bethesda, MD. Homes in this community are rarely available—the last opportunity was in 2020. This elegant residence is situated on just over 3/4-acre, providing a serene and private setting surrounded by mature trees and lush greenery. As you approach the home, you'll notice its stately presence, set back from the road with a long, winding stone path leading to the welcoming front porch. Step inside to the foyer, where to your left is an office/library that opens into an expansive, light-filled family room addition. This room features a wall of glass windows offering breathtaking views of the picturesque surroundings, soaring ceilings, and a wall of built-in bookcases. To the right of the foyer, the main level also features an elegant formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a formal dining room adjacent to the kitchen, and a convenient powder room. Upstairs, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms, a renovated hall bath, including a primary suite with a fully renovated ensuite bath. Two of the upstairs bedrooms, including the primary, open directly onto a balcony that spans the length of the house. This balcony features intricate wrought-iron railings and serene views of the surrounding landscape, serving as a peaceful outdoor retreat, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or a quiet moment in nature. Prepare to be surprised as you step into the spacious attic level, where possibilities abound. This versatile space boasts high ceilings, making it ideal for storage or ready to be transformed into an additional primary ensuite or recreation room tailored to your needs. The home also boasts a finished walkout lower level with impressive 9 1/2-foot ceilings, and a high-quality Mendota gas brick fireplace installed a decade ago and recently serviced in fall 2023. With its generous layout, this area can offer the perfect additional family room or home theatre. The lower level also includes an office space, a third full bath, a laundry area, and an abundance of storage. Additional highlights include a spacious two-car garage with a level 2 electric vehicle charging station, electric/invisible fence and home theatre system that conveys. This home relies on a well-maintained water well and septic system. The water treatment system was updated in 2024, and the septic tank was serviced in 2023. There are no WSSC fees for water and sewer. Experience the best of both worlds by enjoying the prestige of being nestled in the Congressional Manor neighborhood while being embraced by the vibrant Carderock Springs community. As part of the Carderock Springs Association, you can enjoy annual events such as welcome dinners, block parties, and Carderock Village Cuppas, or take full advantage of the Carderock Springs Swim and Tennis Club, which offers pickleball and tennis socials, swim and dive teams, summer socials, and twilight dinners grilled by the pool. Located in the highly sought-after Carderock/Pyle/Whitman school districts and minutes from private schools like Norwood and Holton-Arms, this home also offers easy access to the Bethesda Co-op, dining along MacArthur Boulevard, and Potomac Village. Don’t miss out on this rare offering in Congressional Manor that seamlessly combines elegance, comfort, and community—a true gem in the heart of Bethesda.
