7629 ROYAL DOMINION DRIVE, Bethesda, MD 20817

PRICE IMPROVEMENT: Live la dolce vita at 7629 Royal Dominion Drive — a regal Bethesda home lovingly lived in and cared for by just one family. The home marries Italian-style warmth with a modern layout and upgraded features (e.g., new roof, new sliding glass doors, new garage doors) in close to 5,000 square feet of luxurious living space.

The main level welcomes you in sophisticated style, with a spacious open foyer and split landing staircase. Beyond lie the home’s generous living spaces, from a formal living room to a cozy wood-paneled office, a full-sized dining room with wood-burning stone fireplace to a light-drenched sunroom overlooking the backyard pool. The home’s heart is an updated kitchen outfitted with custom cabinetry, built-in wine storage, solid-surface island, and illuminated china cabinet, not to mention another more casual dining space with seating for up to eight. New sliding doors connect the indoors with the outdoors, with a deck running the full length of the house.

Upstairs, the home features five roomy bedrooms and three full baths, as well as the laundry room. The primary bedroom is especially inviting, with an epic ensuite bathroom complete with a skylight above a jacuzzi tub as well as three separate walk-in closets.

The home’s Carrara marble floored lower level is bright and beautiful, with a large open living space and second well-appointed kitchen perfect for entertaining. Another bedroom (or rec room), full bath, and finished storage space round out the indoor areas. French doors connect this level directly to the pool deck and lush outdoor landscape, which features an Italianate fountain and beautiful pool. A bonus paved patio behind the two-car garage serves as an auxiliary entertaining zone or sport court for the kids.

From a location standpoint, this home leaves nothing to be desired — at the end of a cul-de-sac with easy connections to Washington DC, Downtown Bethesda, and Glen Echo via the Beltway, Clara Barton Parkway, and River Road. The home is served by some of the region’s best public schools, Bannockburn Elementary, Pyle Middle School and Walt Whitman High School and is moments from the Holton-Arms School and Primary Day.

Move in and make the sweet life yours.
