This spectacular 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath home on the coveted Trafton Place cul-de-sac in the Ayrlawn section of Bethesda is situated on a nearly one-third private acre overlooking adjoining wooded parkland, giving beautiful views, fabulous sunsets and year-around privacy, via the oversized windows and doors which open to two levels of private wrap-around decks. Just a few minutes walk to NIH and Johns Hopkins Suburban Hospital, Trafton Place is its own small hamlet of handsome, well-built homes of classic design developed by the highly regarded Mitchell & Best Company.

This home's gorgeous foyer is flanked on either side by the generous dining room and an elegant living room. The kitchen, with extensive cabinetry and work space, offers new quartz countertops and elegant tiled backsplash, and opens to an eating area and a beautiful family room with a wood-burning stone fireplace and plenty of built-ins. Walk out to a large balcony with views of the adjacent forested parkland and wraps around to a breezeway that gives covered access from the house to a large two-car garage architecturally designed to tie in with the handsome, classic exterior of the home.

The large windows afford natural light throughout the first floor of the home, and the second level of the home has brand new oak floors and four bedrooms. The large primary suite features gorgeous bay windows with woodland views, walk-in closets and a brand-new renovated primary bath with beautiful shower, large soaking tub, double vanity, Porcelenosa tiles and beautiful fixtures. The other bedrooms are a good size and the room with the floor to ceiling windows can serve as a lovely home office.

The lower level of the home features a dramatic 9' 8” coffered ceiling, and the large main room opens to a wrap-around deck and large back yard. In addition, there is a bedroom with full-size windows, an ensuite bath and large closet.

This elegant home has been updated with new and newer bathrooms and windows and many handsome, quality features throughout; this is a rare opportunity to own a gracious, beautifully built and updated home privately situated in the unique enclave of Trafton Place.
