Hopkins House

In the heart of Edgemoor, Bethesda's preeminent residential community, is Hopkins House, a faithfully reinterpreted 1915 Tudor estate blending the utmost in modern luxury with classical workmanship and tasteful architectural finishes. Sited on a 1/2 acre prime level lot, merely three blocks to Downtown Bethesda's glass towers, the home represents a once-in-a-lifetime, no compromises opportunity. With prominent curb appeal, the facade evokes a sense of old world charm with its contrasting timbered trim and artful gables. The elegant arched glass and iron front door reveals an elegant reception hall and tucked away main staircase, introducing a reconfigured floor plan spanning a generous 7,600 square feet. In the nod to tradition, formal living and dining rooms flank the vestibule in a classic center hall layout. Both formal spaces are embassy-sized -- the former spanning a full 30 feet in length -- and feature roaring fireplaces. Off the living room is an intimate sunroom opening up to the grounds. In the center of the main level is a stunning chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry and an imported commercial Italian oven. Stackable glass sliders open to reveal the patio and bring the outside in. Double doors part ways to reveal the main level primary suite's private sitting room. The adjacent sleeping area features a soaring cathedral ceiling and offers direct outdoor access. The ubiquitous luxury amenities - marble-clad bath with dual vanities, freestanding tub, glass shower, enclosed water closet, and designer fixtures, as well as twin walk-in dressing rooms make the suite a secluded oasis. An expansive mudroom and access to the attached three car garage complete the main level. On the upper level is a second primary suite featuring a private fireplace and two truly expansive dressing rooms. Its ensuite bath mirrors the main level primary suite's in both opulence and amenities. Three additional secondary bedrooms, each with ample closet space and marble ensuite baths, complete the upper level. A set of stairs accesses extensive storage space in the attic, while more storage space is provided in the lower level. During the transformation, the estate was taken down to the studs and contains all new HVAC, plumbing electrical, flooring, roof, and windows to establish a truly modern residence. Outside, nearly a half acre of flat, usable space affords expansive grass lawns and total privacy while remaining virtually unheard of in such a central location. Situated within walking distance to shops, restaurants, parks, entertainment and belonging to award-winning schools, Hopkins House establishes itself as a leading estate in one of the Capital Region's most sought after locations.
