Award-winning $1.5M Bethesda single-family home feels like a getaway retreat

There are plenty of homes in the D.C. area that look great, but are pretty standard. You know, the cookie-cutter type. Well, this Bethesda, Maryland, home isn’t like the others. Inside the 5,770-square-foot space, there are a myriad of luxurious amenities and design features that start from the wide-plank heart pine flooring up to the two offices and two laundry rooms.

Along with a media room and a recreation room, the space also boasts a gourmet kitchen with dark, striking cabinetry, a tile backsplash, and a spacious island with a built-in sink.

In the backyard, there are pristine patios along with gardens with water features. One quirky inclusion is that there is also a pigeonnier.

If this home peaks your interest, the price totals $1,595,000 with five bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms.
