ROCK BOTTOM PRICE!!!!!!! ****A REAL DEAL******* This isn’t a home for everyone. It’s for someone looking for something... different. Something truly special—but only for those who can see this kind of special. And let’s be honest, that’s not everyone. If manicured lawns and cookie-cutter layouts make your heart sing, you may want to keep scrolling. But if you’ve been waiting for a home with soulone that’s nestled in the trees, filled with light, and whisper-quiet except for the birds and cicadas—then you might’ve just found your match. This Bethesda beauty doesn’t follow the rules. There’s no lawn to mow. No symmetrical shrubs. But there’s space—real space—for guests, a nanny, or the most inspiring home office you’ve ever had. You won’t see high-rises from your window—but you will see towering trees and dappled sunlight. You won’t hear traffic—but you will hear yourself think. And when you do want to dip back into the city? DC, downtown Bethesda, Tysons, Rockville...they are all just minutes away. This isn’t suburbia. It’s a sanctuary. A grown-up treehouse. A home for someone who values peace, privacy, and personality over predictable. If that’s you, welcome home. If it’s not? No hard feelings—this place knows exactly who it’s waiting for.
