Welcome to 4821 Fort Sumner Drive, a gracious six-bedroom, five-bath residence ideally situated in Sumner, one of Bethesda’s most desirable and established neighborhoods. Set on a picturesque, tree-lined street, the property is just moments from the Capital Crescent Trail, Westbard Square, The Shops at Sumner Place, and downtown Bethesda, offering easy access to acclaimed dining, shopping, recreation, and everyday conveniences. From the moment you enter, the home’s distinctive character is on full display, with beautiful leaded-glass windows, an elegant curved staircase, abundant natural light, refined millwork, and thoughtfully designed spaces throughout. The formal dining room features hardwood floors, crown molding, and classic chair rail detailing. A sophisticated den/home office offers custom built-ins, a gas fireplace, crown molding, and direct access to the patio and yard. A nearby powder room is beautifully appointed with marble flooring, a pedestal sink, and plantation shutters. At the heart of the home is an expansive, light-filled gourmet kitchen designed for both everyday living and entertaining. A large center island anchors the space, complemented by granite countertops, furniture-grade custom cabinetry and premium Bosch and GE Monogram appliances. The adjoining breakfast room opens directly to the beautifully landscaped grounds, while an elegant wet bar with wine refrigerator and the main-level laundry room are conveniently nearby. The sun-drenched sunroom is one of the home’s most captivating spaces, featuring a beadboard vaulted ceiling, custom built-ins, and floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides overlooking the manicured grounds. The main living room offers a warm gathering space with a wood-burning fireplace, intricate dentil-molding mantel, custom built-ins, and crown molding. The second level features four spacious bedrooms with hardwood flooring. The luxurious primary suite includes three closets, including a walk-in, and a dedicated dressing area. Its spa-inspired en-suite bath features heated sandstone floors, an oversized rain shower, dual vanities, crown molding, and a private water closet. Three additional bedrooms share a beautifully appointed hall bath, while two linen closets and an adjoining storage room provide exceptional functionality. The third floor offers two additional generously sized bedrooms, a full bath, and ample storage, providing flexibility for guest quarters, home offices, creative spaces, or additional bedrooms. The finished lower level expands the living space with brand-new luxury vinyl plank flooring. A spacious recreation room features another wood-burning fireplace and custom built-ins, ideal for movie nights, play, gatherings, or casual entertaining. Multiple storage areas, including a generous double-door storage closet with shelving and a climate-controlled former exterior-stairwell space, provide abundant storage. A powder room and laundry/utility area add convenience. A large attached garage offers parking, storage, a workbench, and dedicated workspace, with easy access to the home via the private driveway. Outdoor living is exceptional, with a two-tier, wraparound bluestone patio offering multiple areas for dining, entertaining, or relaxing. A private side-yard patio provides a secluded retreat for reading or enjoying an evening around the fire. Mature plantings and thoughtfully designed gardens create a lush sense of privacy, complemented by full-yard irrigation and outdoor lighting. The handsome wood-and-stone exterior features Hardie Plank siding,, copper gutters and downspouts, gutter guards, and French drain systems. Recent improvements include an approximately eight-year-old asphalt shingle roof replaced in 2018, newer two-zone HVAC, a one-year-old heat pump, and whole-house water softening and reverse-osmosis systems. 4821 Fort Sumner Drive is a rare opportunity in one of Bethesda’s most coveted neighborhoods.
