7908 FENWAY ROAD

BETHESDA, MD20817

Mid-century modern design becomes a living work of art at 7908 Fenway Road—an extraordinary residence where architecture, landscape, light, and nature exist in constant dialogue. Like a painting carefully composed frame by frame, every room, every sightline, and every wall of glass was intentionally designed to capture the surrounding scenery and changing seasons. If Claude Monet had envisioned a modern home in 1983, it may have felt something like this—immersed in light, connected to nature, and crafted to make everyday living feel artistic and serene. Designed and built by Acorn Deck House Company, renowned for its decades-long legacy of creating architecturally distinctive custom homes, the residence reflects a philosophy centered on harmony between structure and setting. Exposed post-and-beam construction creates uninterrupted open spaces, while soaring wood-clad ceilings, skylights, and expansive walls of glass dissolve the boundary between indoors and outdoors. Sunlight filters through the home throughout the day, casting shifting patterns across warm natural materials and framing curated views of the surrounding gardens and landscape. Notable improvements include a new 50-year roof in 2018, new HVAC in 2022, chimney pointing in 2024, and a new hot water heater in 2026. A significant 2003 renovation by DRL and Associates reimagined the kitchen and bathrooms with a refined, high-end approach that complements the home’s original architectural character. Tucked along a quiet street in Bethesda’s highly sought-after Carderock Springs community, the home provides approximately 2,401 square feet across two levels, with 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, dual staircases, extra-deep closets with built-in organization systems, and multiple walk-in storage areas. The outdoor setting feels equally curated and immersive. A fully fenced private backyard unfolds like a botanical retreat, complete with exterior lighting, a large walk-down deck, flagstone walkways, a pergola with an adjacent millstone fountain, and professionally designed landscaping with flowering plantings, mature trees, and garden beds. A private drive and front patio welcome you inside, where the main living space immediately reveals the home’s architectural impact. The great room and kitchen are anchored by a dramatic seven-foot freestanding brick fireplace and elevated by cathedral wood ceilings, skylights, hardwood floors, and contemporary monorail track lighting. Multiple glass doors create seamless transitions to the deck and gardens beyond, making the landscape feel like an extension of the interior living space. The gourmet kitchen blends craftsmanship and functionality with granite countertops, Dacor stainless steel appliances, an integrated paneled refrigerator, custom cabinetry, a deep farmhouse sink beneath a garden window, and extensive pantry storage with roll-out drawers and built-in organizers. Nearby, a secondary staircase connects to a landing with additional pantry and closet storage, garage access, and a side entrance to the front patio. Privately positioned on the opposite side of the main level, the primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat with vaulted ceilings, serene garden views, extra-deep closets, and a ceiling fan. An additional bedroom and a renovated full bathroom complete the main level. The lower level continues the home’s cohesive architectural aesthetic. Offering a spacious family room centered around a second brick fireplace provides built-in cabinetry and partial daylight exposure. Beyond, a flexible bonus area with extensive counter space and storage is ideal for use as an art studio, exercise room, or more. This level also includes 2 additional bedrooms, and a full bathroom. Ideally located near parks, recreation, nationally recognized golf courses, dining, shopping, and major commuter routes—and served by highly regarded public and private schools—7908 Fenway Road, is an immersive architectural experience.
