Lovingly maintained by the same owners for more than three decades, this one-of-a-kind home reflects a deep appreciation for landscape, design, and indoor-outdoor living. Inspired by extensive travels abroad, the owners thoughtfully cultivated the property's already established grounds to create a tranquil retreat that feels worlds away while remaining just minutes from the heart of Bethesda and Washington, D.C.
Set within graceful landscaping, the home welcomes you with newly refinished hardwood floors, fresh interior paint, and light-filled living spaces designed to embrace the surrounding gardens. The thoughtfully renovated kitchen, completed in 2016, features silestone countertops, abundant cabinetry, a skylight, and a smooth transition to a beautiful sunroom (including an indoor cooking hearth) overlooking the backyard landscape and pool. In the living room, an expanse of huge Pella windows (incorporating a walk-out door with roll-up screen) frame peaceful views of the patio, pool, and mature plantings. In winter, a gas fireplace makes the living room into an especially inviting area to gather, read, or relax.
A handsome den with built-in bookshelves provides the perfect library or work-from-home space, or a cozy family room, complete with a conveniently located renovated powder room. A versatile fifth bedroom with charming window bench seating offers exceptional flexibility as a guest suite (with direct access to the powder room) or home office. The main-level primary suite serves as a spacious private sanctuary, with its own door leading to the patio and pool. The brand-new spa-inspired en-suite bath shines with luxurious finishes and a calming aesthetic, tailored to complement the home's peaceful setting. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms offer plentiful natural light and share a well-appointed full bath, along with a hall skylight. A large house-length attic provides extensive storage, adding everyday practicality rarely found in homes of this era. The house also boasts abundant closet space throughout.
The finished lower level expands the home's versatility with an expansive recreation room anchored by built-in bookshelves, creating the perfect setting for movie nights, kids’ space, or quiet relaxation. The utility area boasts a refreshed half bath and new flooring. A bonus flex room (converted from part of the garage) is ideal for a home gym, studio, or additional storage. A small garage area offers convenient storage, while the driveway provides off-street parking.
Outdoor living is the true centerpiece of 5810 Overlea Road. Surrounded in the neighborhood by years of thoughtfully curated landscaping, the private backyard is designed as a peaceful retreat with beautifully integrated hardscaping, a spectacular Sylvan swimming pool, a large flagstone patio for relaxing or entertaining, and lush gardens that bloom throughout the seasons. Every outdoor space has been carefully composed to create an atmosphere of serenity, privacy, and connection to nature. Along one boundary-side of the house is a towering stand of hemlocks. A majestic tulip poplar in the front yard, rigorously maintained, provides privacy and protection from summer sun. Other noteworthy trees and shrubs predating the current owners include a Hinoki cypress, two large yews, a corkscrew willow, and profuse azaleas. Over the years, the owners added multiple Japanese maples, dogwood, and arborvitae, along with flowering plum, red buds, river birch, bamboo, dragon lady holly, and ginko. Plus, they planted a herb garden just outside the sunroom and a tranquil garden area alongside the hemlocks, with a flagstone walking path.
Ideally located in Bethesda's highly desirable Sumner neighborhood, 5810 Overlea Road is in a prized school district, just a few blocks from the Capital Crescent Trail, and a short walk to The Shops at Sumner. The location offers convenient access to downtown Bethesda, Friendship Heights, Chevy Chase, downtown Washington, D.C., and the Capital Beltway. Nearby shopping, acclaimed restaurants, parks, and major commuter routes provide exceptional convenience while preserving the quiet residential character that makes Sumner one of Bethesda's most sought-after neighborhoods. Combining iconic mid-century modern design, exceptional privacy, beautifully established gardens, and an unparalleled indoor-outdoor lifestyle, 5810 Overlea Road presents a rare opportunity to own one of Bethesda's most distinctive and meticulously cared-for homes.

Bethesda
Getting ahead in a relaxed fashion. While this DC suburb used to be well on the fringes of urban life and entertainment, today’s Bethesda is anything but boring. With a bustling, pedestrian-friendly downtown featuring high-end dining and shops, this self-confident community is on the move.
