Welcome to 9824 Carmelita, a colonial masterpiece nestled in the heart of McAuley Park, a true sanctuary for those who value privacy and elegance. This magnificent home, a mere ten-minute drive from the bustling downtown Bethesda, is a testament to exquisite craftsmanship and thoughtful design.

Perched on a generous half acre corner lot, Carmelita, built in 2001, stands majestically above street level, offering over 8,000 sq. ft. of luxurious living space. The grandeur of this home is truly something to behold, a testament to timeless elegance and sophisticated living.

As you enter from the freshly paved driveway, completed in March 2024, you are welcomed into a spacious mudroom that leads to a grand kitchen and breakfast area. This space seamlessly flows into an impressive great room adorned with built-in shelving, creating an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality.

The first floor boasts a meticulously planned layout, featuring an office just beyond the great room, a sunroom/den, and traditional living and dining rooms off the main foyer. The home offers six bedrooms, five upstairs and one on the lower level, ensuring ample space for family and guests. Additionally, consider the upstairs bonus hobby room, situated just above the garage. It could easily serve as an additional bedroom.

The lower level is an entertainer's dream, complete with a game room, gym, music room, and ample storage area. Freshly painted as of March 2024, the entire home exudes a sense of freshness and modernity.

The exterior of the home is just as impressive, with two refurbished patios and a fireplace off the back of the home, perfect for outdoor entertaining. The retaining walls have been entirely refurbished this spring, adding to the home's appeal. A newly created stone walkway and gardens enhance the home's timeless charm, creating a serene oasis.

Carmelita has been lovingly maintained and cared for over the years, a testament to its proud ownership. We invite you to tour this magnificent home today and make an offer that reflects its grandeur and timeless elegance. Welcome to your dream home. Welcome to Carmelita.
