PRIME LOCATION

A Sought-After Bethesda Setting

10225 Farnham Drive is located within the highly regarded Walter Johnson school district. Set on a gently sloping 12,194 square-foot lot — exceptionally large for the neighborhood — the property offers an uncommon sense of privacy paired with generous outdoor space.

Located just one block from Wildwood Shopping Center, the home is within minutes from shopping, dining, and everyday amenities. The property is also close to the Grosvenor–Strathmore Metro Station, providing convenient transit into Washington, DC. Direct access to I-495 and I-270 further supports easy commuting throughout the region, while downtown Bethesda and leading public and private schools are nearby.

Exterior

Architectural Detail & Craftsmanship

This Modern Craftsman–style home blends timeless architectural character with durable, high-quality materials. Exterior details include a covered flagstone front porch, shingle siding, and lap siding, creating refined, enduring curb appeal. At the rear of the home, two private flagstone patios on the upper and lower levels provide inviting outdoor spaces ideal for dining, relaxing, and entertaining within a quiet, landscaped setting.

Site & Property

A RARE LOT PAIRED WITH A THOUGHTFUL FLOOR PLAN

Set on a 12,194 square-foot lot, the home enjoys open views and a more secluded feel than typically found in the surrounding neighborhood. The floor plan is intentionally designed to align the main living areas with the patios and surrounding landscape, allowing the home to take full advantage of its setting while maintaining privacy.

Main Level

Refined Living & Effortless Entertaining

A welcoming, covered flagstone porch leads to a spacious foyer that immediately sets a warm, inviting tone. A private office at the front of the home offers an ideal setting for remote work or daily organization. The formal dining room flows seamlessly into the kitchen, creating an easy and elegant environment for entertaining. A powder room just off the foyer provides guest convenience while maintaining privacy, and the carefully placed staircase preserves a clean, uncluttered aesthetic throughout the main level.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen, breakfast area, and family room come together in a bright, open-concept layout designed for both daily life and entertaining. Expansive windows and an oversized sliding glass door fill the space with natural light, enhancing the open, airy feel of the main living areas. The chef’s kitchen is centered around a generous island and walk-in pantry, while the breakfast area opens directly to the upper flagstone patio, extending the living space outdoors.

Just beyond the kitchen, the family room offers a comfortable yet refined setting well suited for relaxed evenings or larger gatherings. Thoughtfully proportioned and oriented to capture views of the backyard, the space connects naturally to the kitchen and breakfast area, reinforcing the home’s easy, intuitive flow between spaces.

Nearby, an integrated mudroom features built-in lockers, a walk-in closet, and space to accommodate an additional full-size refrigerator. With direct access from the two-car garage, this well-planned space delivers practical, day-to-day functionality while remaining discreetly incorporated into the home’s overall design.

Upper Level

Private Retreats & Flexible Space

The upper level is designed to provide comfort and privacy away from the main living areas. The owner’s suite includes two walk-in closets and a well-appointed, spa-inspired bath. Three additional bedrooms—each with its own walk-in closet—offer inviting accommodations for family or guests, served by two well-appointed full bathrooms. A centrally located flex area provides space for a lounge or study, while a dedicated laundry room adds day-to-day convenience.

Lower Level

Versatile Living Space & Guest Comfort

The lower level expands the home’s living area with a spacious recreation room offering direct access to the lower flagstone patio and backyard. The gentle slope of the lot allows for increased natural light and an easy connection to the outdoors.

A private fifth bedroom with a walk-in closet and adjacent full bath provides comfortable guest accommodations. An additional room offers flexibility for a home gym, media room, or hobby space. Finished storage and mechanical areas are thoughtfully planned to support organization and long-term functionality.

Whole-Home Details

Quality, Comfort & Performance

Premium materials and systems are integrated throughout the home to support comfort, efficiency, and long-term value. Highlights include wide-plank hardwood flooring, refined millwork, solid-core interior doors, designer lighting, smart home pre-wiring, and a high-performance HVAC system. Advanced insulation and energy-efficient construction further enhance durability, quiet operation, and overall day-to-day livability.
