Set on an expansive corner lot, this two-level ranch seamlessly blends suburban serenity with the convenience of city living.

From the moment you arrive, the home’s curb appeal captivates - complete with an expansive covered carport, a 5-car circular driveway, and a welcoming patio that beckons you to enjoy your morning coffee.

Inside, sunlight spills across the gleaming hardwood floors, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere and flow. This fully upgraded residence embodies contemporary luxury and comfort, with smart home features and touches of resort-style sophistication throughout.

Boasting 5 generously sized bedrooms (3 on the main level, 2 on the lower level) and 3 beautifully updated full baths, this home offers both space and versatility. Two bathrooms feature heated floors, and the primary suite’s spa-like en-suite bath with a soaking tub is a sanctuary of relaxation. Additional bedrooms adapt effortlessly to your needs—whether for guests, a home office, or creative pursuits tailored to your lifestyle.

At the heart of the home is a chef’s dream kitchen, equipped with sleek granite countertops, premium appliances and thoughtful design. Dual 36” Thermador convection ovens, a custom 5-ft Thermador stovetop with grill and griddle, a Miele coffee system, and a warming drawer, make culinary endeavors a delight. With two fully equipped indoor kitchens and a stunning outdoor kitchen and bar, this home is tailor-made for hosting gatherings of any scale.

Start your mornings in the cozy breakfast nook or sip coffee in the screened-in porch off the dining room, where collapsible windows frame tranquil backyard views. The formal dining room and spacious living room, with its marble gas fireplace, provide elegant spaces for entertaining and gorgeous views of Rock Creek Park. For a more relaxed setting, head to the sunroom, bathed in natural light, featuring a gas fireplace, built-in storage, microwave, refrigerator, automatic blinds and easy access to your private backyard oasis.

The fully finished lower level expands the home’s possibilities. A custom telescoping glass wall allows for flexible living and entertainment spaces, while the biometric-secured custom wine cellar will delight connoisseurs. This level also features two additional bedrooms, a second full kitchen with an ice machine, a spacious laundry room with quartz countertops, and a private walk-out entrance—perfect for multigenerational living, guest accommodations, or potential rental income.

Step outside to discover your personal retreat. The backyard is a haven of indoor-outdoor living, featuring a 7-person custom saltwater spa (heat or cool it to your liking), a fire pit, turf landscaping, a greenhouse, and multiple entertainment spaces that wrap around the home. Practical upgrades like a sprinkler system, mosquito control, built-in shed, and advanced water management systems ensure ease of maintenance.

This home has been meticulously updated with a new roof, modern plumbing and electrical systems, smart energy-efficient HVAC, a tankless water heater, a whole-house Kohler gas generator, and surge protection—offering peace of mind for years to come.

Nestled on the edge of Rock Creek Park and the DC-Maryland line, this home offers unmatched accessibility. You’re minutes from downtown Silver Spring, the Metro, major bus lines, the future Purple Line, hiking, biking trails, shopping, dining, and more. Whether you’re seeking a tranquil retreat or the perfect place to create lasting memories, this home is your ideal backdrop for life’s next chapter. Don’t miss the chance to own this architectural gem in North Portal Estates—one of Washington, DC’s most sought-after and best-kept secrets!
