Description

Resort style living, hidden in plain site. Located in one of Bethesda's most desirable and established neighborhoods, 9817 Fernwood Road is the kind of home that quietly surprises you. Those familiar with the area may pass by without ever realizing what's inside -- a turnkey retreat where comfort, design, and thoughtful living come together in the most unexpected way. This four-bedroom, three-and-one-half-bath split-level home was built in 1961 and reimagined in 2022 with custom craftsmanship and resort-style details. Shiplap and exposed brick, designer lighting, recessed accents, and curated finishes create a sense of welcome and warmth from the moment you enter. The kitchen is a showstopper -- complete with high-end appliances, wine fridge, wall oven, and built-in microwave, breakfast bar, and access to the flagstone patio and manicured backyard. It's open to both the dining area and sun-filled living room, allowing for effortless flow. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a spa-inspired bath and custom walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the level. The walk-out lower level is full of light and function -- featuring a cozy family room, office nook, and half bath. The finished basement below adds even more flexibility with recreation space, laundry, and storage. Off-street parking and a deep front yard with mature landscaping complete the setting. Located in the heart of Fernwood, this home delivers peaceful living just minutes from downtown Bethesda, Rockville, and D.C. You're surrounded by parks, playgrounds, shops, and dining -- including Wildwood, Montgomery Mall, and Pike & Rose. Whether you're settling in or investing in a proven short-term rental, this home is as functional as it is beautiful -- ready to welcome its next chapter.
