Renovated 1966 mid-century modern in Carderock Springs. The nearly 2,800 square-foot four-level split Clubview model with detached two-car garage has been transformed by the sellers. Just some of the major items done during the past five years include: Triple-paned Pella windows and doors, driveway replacement and widening, fencing of backyard, landscaping, HVAC and water heater, electrical upgrade, updated kitchen and bathrooms, custom automated Hunter Douglas shades, recessed lighting, refinished hardwoods and foundation drain system. The house sits on a fenced .34-acre lot in a small cul-de-sac. The National Register of Historic Places-designated neighborhood in Bethesda was built between 1962 and 1966. Designed by local modernist architectural firm Keys, Lethbridge and Condon, and developed by Edmund Bennett, the homes are sited seamlessly into the wooded community known for its popular pool and tennis club. One the visual appeals of this later Clubview model is the three different roof heights, including the separate garage. The living room, immediately accessible from the distinctive entry-hall foyer with open-tread staircase to the right, forms a spacious block of public space with the dining room and kitchen, which opens to the tiered patio area in the backyard. A cathedral ceiling, walls of glass, including clerestory windows and light-brick fireplace brings the flavor of California modernism to the East Coast. This space is the heart of the house, with its open living-dining-kitchen area with refinished hardwoods, and walls of glass and sliders that allow for access to the backyard. The renovated kitchen features a gourmet six-burner gas Wolf range, custom coffee bar/buffet area, stainless steel appliances, glass-tile backsplash and wine fridge. The upper level includes three bedrooms and two full renovated bathrooms, including the primary suite. The primary bathroom is wrapped in ceramic tile and features double sinks and glass-enclosed shower with rainfall shower head. The two lower levels include the fourth bedroom (currently used as a workout room), den, laundry room, utility room, and light-filled lower-level recreation room that opens via glass sliders to the lower patio. The separate two-car garage has been upgraded with heating, insulation, newer garage door/opener and basketball hoop. The public schools are Carderock Springs Elementary, a short walk from the house, Thomas W. Pyle Middle School and Walt Whitman High School. Pool and tennis club membership conveys.
