Resort-Style Living, Hidden in Plain Sight Tucked into one of Bethesda’s most established neighborhoods, 9817 Fernwood Road is the kind of home that quietly surprises you. Those familiar with the area may pass by without ever realizing what’s inside -- a turnkey retreat where comfort, design, and thoughtful living come together in the most unexpected way. This four-bedroom, three-and-one-half-bath split-level home was built in 1961 and reimagined in 2022 with custom craftsmanship and resort-style details. Shiplap and exposed brick, designer lighting, recessed accents, and curated finishes create a sense of welcome and warmth from the moment you enter. The kitchen is a showstopper -- complete with high-end appliances, wine fridge, wall oven, and built-in microwave, breakfast bar, and access to the flagstone patio and manicured backyard. It's open to both the dining area and sun-filled living room, allowing for effortless flow. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a spa-inspired bath and custom walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the level. The walk-out lower level is full of light and function -- featuring a cozy family room, office nook, and half bath. The finished basement below adds even more flexibility with recreation space, laundry, and storage. Off-street parking and a deep front yard with mature landscaping complete the setting. Located in the heart of Fernwood, this home delivers peaceful living just minutes from downtown Bethesda, Rockville, and D.C. You’re surrounded by parks, playgrounds, shops, and dining -- including Wildwood, Montgomery Mall, and Pike & Rose. Whether you're settling in or investing in a proven short-term rental, this home is as functional as it is beautiful -- ready to welcome its next chapter.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
