Property Description
Welcome to 5813 Ipswich Rd, a 2011 Douglas Construction Craftsman offering more than 5,500 SF of bright, open living space on three levels, set on nearly a quarter-acre lot in Alta Vista Gardens. Since 2022, the home has been extensively updated with more than $220,000 in improvements. The main level centers on a fully renovated kitchen. Walls, columns, and a bulkhead were removed to open the kitchen to the butler's pantry and family room. The kitchen now features new maple and walnut cabinetry, honed Carrara marble counters and backsplash, an expanded island, brass hardware, open shelving with under-cabinet lighting, a pot filler, and a full JennAir appliance suite with a Wolf hood under a 60-inch hood surround. New casement windows are topped with Serena & Lily brass sconces. XL sliding doors lead to a large screened porch with vaulted ceilings and built-in heat lamps overlooking the private yard, plus an open-air deck for grilling. The main level also includes a living room, a dining room with a Visual Comfort chandelier, a family room with built-ins and a gas fireplace, a walk-in pantry, a private office, and a mudroom with cubbies off the two-car garage, which is equipped with a 220V line for EV charging. Upstairs, you'll find a lounge, a primary suite with two walk-in closets and a spacious bath, two bedrooms sharing a Jack & Jill bath, and a third en-suite bedroom. There is also a dedicate laundry room with storage. The red oak floors and stairs throughout the upper levels have been refinished, and every room in the house has been freshly painted. The lower level offers a large recreation room with lots of natural light and luxury vinyl flooring throughout. There are two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and ample storage. The lower level walks out to a patio and a large fenced backyard with a Cherry Blossom tree and a custom mini sports field. Behind the scenes, the home has new HVAC serving the main and lower levels and a battery backup for the sump pump. Outside, the Hardie plank siding and trim have been repainted, the front porch has new square columns, the front door has Emtek brass hardware and a Yale smart lock, and new motion-sensor sconces light the exterior. The location puts daily needs and recreation close at hand. Wildwood Shopping Center and Fleming Park are nearby, as are the Bethesda Trolley Trail and the trails of Rock Creek Park. NIH, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Suburban Hospital, and Rochambeau French International School are all within easy reach, with convenient access to 495, 270, downtown Bethesda, and Pike & Rose.
