6525 Kenhill Rd, Bethesda, MD 20817

Description

Set on a phenomenal 0.51-acre lot in Bethesda’s desirable Kenwood Park neighborhood, 6525 Kenhill Road is an exceptional Craftsman-style estate custom-built in 2002 by the premier Sandy Spring Builders. Offering 9,000 square feet of finished living space across three levels, the residence features a private backyard oasis with a large heated pool and professional putting green. The home is characterized by tall ceilings, thoughtful architectural details, and modern sustainability features including a whole-house generator and solar panels. Located in the Whitman High School cluster and conveniently close to a number of private schools, the property provides a private suburban sanctuary just minutes from the heart of downtown Bethesda.

An expansive covered front porch leads into a grand foyer, flanked by formal living and dining rooms. The living room features a gas fireplace, while the family room serves as a comfortable central hub with coffered ceilings, custom built-ins, and a second gas fireplace. The large island kitchen and breakfast room flow naturally into the home’s diverse outdoor living spaces, including a screened porch and a massive flagstone patio designed for large-scale entertaining. The main level also provides a private office, a butler’s pantry, and a highly functional mudroom with a secondary laundry set and side entry. For added accessibility, a modern elevator serves all three levels, though it was designed to be easily removed if the original floor plan is preferred.

The upper level is anchored by a primary suite that overlooks the private grounds through a wall of windows. This retreat features its own gas fireplace, two large walk-in closets with custom systems, and a spacious bathroom with dual vanities. Three additional large bedrooms—one en-suite and two sharing a Jack-and-Jill bath—join a second dedicated home office and a large laundry room on this floor. Above the garage, a separately accessed fifth bedroom with vaulted ceilings and a half bath provides a private space for guests or staff.

The lower level is a true entertainment and wellness hub, housing a vast recreation room, a media or billiards area, and a designated space for a home gym. This level also includes a sixth bedroom, a full bath, and a generous storage room with outside access. Other notable amenities include a cedar closet for seasonal storage and a comprehensive irrigation system. The exterior is equally impressive, with the heated pool and deck surrounded by mature landscaping, custom lighting, and a flat grassy area, while the private driveway and two-car garage provide ample parking for residents and guests alike.
