Timeless facade with large, gracious spaces, modern finishes and coveted location! Quintessential Glen Echo charmer that's been impeccably well cared for & continuously improved upon over time. Drink your morning coffee or watch the sun set over Virginia from one of the most idyllic porches you’ll find in Bethesda. The large living room spans the front of the home & warmly welcomes you home. The relaxed "back of the house" includes a sun-soaked family room that opens to a gracious and inviting dining room that helps make this home the one where everyone wants to be invited to. What a great house to come home to for the holidays! The beautifully renovated kitchen is elegantly outfitted with quartz countertops, custom built-ins, stunning marble tile backsplash, a gorgeous island with a breakfast bar, as well as a separate sunny breakfast nook that offers a cozy spot to enjoy casual meals together or a peaceful place to spread out with your laptop. A huge primary suite provides loads of space to relax and unwind and enjoy the captivating views and also includes a large walk-in closet and luxurious jacuzzi spa bath with a separate private shower. You’ll find three additional, good sized bedrooms upstairs and another gorgeous bathroom with stunning marble tile. The lower level boasts a private fifth bedroom, or guest suite, with its own luxurious private dressing area and en suite spa bath. Perfectly situated off the dining room is a large deck that spans the entire length of the house and creates yet another, large outdoor living space with a great party flow or simply a quiet spot to enjoy your morning coffee. 6705 Barr Road offers just the right balance of modern, stylish updates and architecture that will always be in style. It’s hard to list all features of a home in this coveted location- one of the best school districts in Maryland, perfect proximity to convenience shopping, prime commuting location to DC, VA, and downtown Bethesda. Within minutes & without getting in the car, you can enjoy the peaceful C&O Canal or the Arts & Programs at Glen Echo Park. Bannockburn & Merrimack Swim Clubs are both within walking distance. Welcoming Bannockburn Community Clubhouse, also few blocks away, hosts an annual Newcomers’ Dinner, Halloween Parade and Barbecue, Spring Show, Music Festival, and other social events. This is the one area of Bethesda where a natural reprieve from work, remote learning or the day-to-day grind is truly just outside your front door.

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.
