Diamond in the Rough in Avenel! Exceptional value opportunity in one of Bethesda’s most prestigious communities (20817). This home offers incredible potential for the savvy buyer who recognizes great bones, a highly desirable floor plan, and a truly special setting—priced below recently updated homes in the community. The lot is magnificent—private, serene, and backing to woods—one of the most sought-after settings in Avenel. A magnificent Mitchell & Best-built estate in a premier location! Elegantly designed with timeless architecture, spacious interiors, and showcasing fine craftsmanship with custom details throughout. Featuring approximately 7,550 square feet of living space (5,704 SF above grade plus a fully finished walk-out lower level ), the home offers a dramatic two-story foyer, stunning sun-filled family room with soaring ceilings and walls of windows, and a spacious gourmet kitchen with oversized L-shaped counters—perfectly positioned for both everyday living and entertaining. Quality wood cabinetry and well-maintained appliances include a Sub-Zero refrigerator, newer double ovens, and an electric trash compactor. Enjoy the warmth and character of three fireplaces, creating inviting spaces throughout the home. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a sitting area, soaring ceilings with skylights, two large walk-in closets, and a spa-sized bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, and abundant natural light—a bright and airy space ready to enjoy as-is or personalize to your taste. The home is well maintained and fully operational, with major systems in good working order. While updates such as roof replacement, select window improvements, and cosmetic enhancements (e.g., flooring and paint) will further elevate the property, the home is comfortably livable today—allowing buyers to customize over time rather than paying a premium for completed renovations. The finished walk-out lower level features a spacious recreation room with stone fireplace, game area, guest suite, and two full baths—ideal for entertaining, extended living, or long-term flexibility. Situated on a beautiful, private lot backing to trees, this property combines space, setting, and long-term upside in a premier Avenel location with access to community amenities, golf, and top-tier conveniences. A rare opportunity to create your own vision, build equity, and secure a prime property in a proven high-value neighborhood. Being sold strictly AS-IS.
