A Rare Michael Banks Development Masterpiece in Coveted Section Three of Chevy Chase

Once in a great while, a truly exceptional home becomes available — and this is one of those moments. This rare Michael Banks Development creation, nestled in the highly desirable Section Three of Chevy Chase, is now available for the discerning buyer.

The home makes a striking first impression with its charming wrap-around porch and artisanal, hand-applied stucco exterior. Thoughtfully designed by GTM Architects, the layout offers effortless flow — equally suited for comfortable everyday living or grand entertaining.

Step inside to a light-filled, open entryway that leads to both formal living and dining rooms, as well as the inviting family room. This space connects seamlessly to a screened-in porch with a cozy wood-burning fireplace, perfect for year-round enjoyment.

The true gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring a 36” Wolf range, 48” Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, two KitchenAid dishwashers, and abundant prep and storage space. Ten-foot ceilings throughout the main level add to the sense of openness and ease. For added convenience, a mudroom is located just off the kitchen and includes a coat closet and pantry — ensuring a place for everything.

Upstairs, the owner’s suite is a true sanctuary with a spacious bedroom opening to a private deck — an ideal spot for reading or watching the sunset. The suite includes two generous walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bath. Two additional ensuite bedrooms and a laundry room complete this level.

The third floor offers flexible space — perfect for a home office or playroom — along with a large fourth bedroom and full bathroom.

The lower level boasts a vast recreation and family room, ideal for movie nights, ping pong, or billiards. Ample storage keeps games and gear organized. A fifth bedroom, full bath, and a dedicated workout room or additional office space round out the lower level.

All of this is just over a mile from downtown Bethesda and the Metro, and mere blocks from local favorites like Brookville Market, Pharmacy and La Ferme for fine French dining.
