6500 PYLE ROAD

$1,400,000 6500 PYLE ROAD, BETHESDA, MD 20817
If you are seeking a spectacular home filled with natural light, designed for gathering with family and friends, and surrounded by nature, look no further than 6500 Pyle Road. Located in Bethesda's coveted Bannockburn neighborhood, this exceptional four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence combines timeless architecture, thoughtful craftsmanship, sophisticated updates, and cutting-edge sustainability. Set on a beautifully landscaped nearly 15,000-square-foot lot, the home offers a wonderful blend of comfortable living and serene natural surroundings. Bannockburn is renowned for its strong sense of community, tree-lined streets, beautiful homes, and proximity to parks, trails, recreation, and downtown Bethesda. Merrimack and Bannockburn pools, Glen Echo Park, Merrimack Park, downtown Bethesda, and the Capital Crescent Trail are all nearby. The historic Bannockburn Clubhouse, home to a nursery school and frequent neighborhood events, further enhances the community's distinctive character. Inside, the welcoming foyer opens to a light-filled living room with a wood-burning fireplace and built-ins. The living room flows effortlessly into the dining area and beautifully renovated kitchen, creating an ideal setting for both intimate meals and larger gatherings. The 2005 kitchen features sustainably harvested maple cabinetry, recycled-material Avonite countertops, recycled-glass tile backsplash, and a striking two-tiered island with glass display cabinet and lighted seating. A new induction cooktop, stainless-steel appliances, two sinks with garbage disposals, and a touchless primary faucet add modern convenience. The kitchen connects to a spectacular sun-filled family room featuring soaring ceilings, custom built-ins, and three walls of windows overlooking the gardens. An electronic shade across the expansive front windows adds convenience and style. A true highlight is the custom screened porch, completed in 2022. Crafted primarily from Douglas fir with Trex flooring, integrated heaters, ceiling fan, and skylights, this extraordinary outdoor room extends the home's living space and offers a beautiful setting for dining, entertaining, or relaxing. The adjoining deck features integrated lighting, while an ingenious open-channel flume and rain chain direct rainwater away from the house. Upstairs, the peaceful primary suite features a spacious walk-in closet and day/night blackout shades. Two additional bedrooms offer abundant natural light and excellent closet space. The renovated full bath includes a Toto toilet with bidet, beautiful tile, and a stylish vanity. An additional half bath and generous storage closets add convenience. The first lower level offers a versatile fourth bedroom with built-in desk and custom closet, ideal for guests or an office, plus a second full bath and laundry/utility room. A newly completed 2025 basement renovation adds a bright recreation space with luxury vinyl plank flooring, custom built-in cabinetry, and a generous pantry--perfect for movie nights, games, exercise, hobbies, or casual gatherings. Energy efficiency and sustainability are central to the home's design. Major improvements include geothermal heating and cooling (2021), on-demand hot water heater (2021), solar panels (2019), Tesla whole-home battery backup (2021), replacement windows, and new insulation in the attic, crawl space, and above the garage. The garage features an epoxy floor and premium organization systems, and a radon mitigation system was installed in 2024. Outside, mature dogwoods, azaleas, crape myrtles, and native plant gardens create a lush, private oasis. Every side of the property offers a different garden view, while the backyard provides a peaceful retreat that feels worlds away from everyday life. This exceptional home embodies the beauty, community, and tranquility that define Bannockburn. As longtime residents often say, "Bannockburn is less a place than it is a state of mind."
