Tucked within a serene cul-de-sac in Bethesda’s coveted Burning Tree neighborhood, 6605 Lybrook Court marks the latest collaboration between renowned builder Dena House and AP Architects. Recently completed and set on over half an acre, this custom contemporary residence spans more than 9,000 square feet across three thoughtfully designed levels.
Defined by its restrained geometry and finely curated materials, the home achieves a harmonious balance between modern elegance and enduring comfort. The striking façade, composed of Shouldice dimensional stone and white concrete and highlighted by black-clad Pella windows, is approached via a custom concrete block driveway with grass in between, offering parking for up to nine cars. A dramatic 25-foot-wide staircase leads to a 300-square-foot covered terrace featuring a luxury mahogany ceiling, setting the stage for the glass pivot front door and the soaring double-height foyer beyond.
Inside, a floating Viewrail staircase of four-inch treads and glass railings rises before a 21-foot paneled red oak wall, establishing the home’s architectural focal point. Expansive sightlines create a seamless connection between formal and informal spaces throughout the light-filled main level.
The formal living and dining rooms flow effortlessly together, while a distinguished study with custom millwork, dual built-in libraries, red oak–paneled walls, and a private exterior entrance offers an elegant and functional space for work or reflection.
The informal living area centers on a family room anchored by a striking gas fireplace set within a porcelain and marble surround, framed by panoramic views of the rear terrace. Throughout the main level, 7.5-inch white oak floors, Visual Comfort lighting, and Lutron smart controls establish a cohesive atmosphere of sophistication. The entire home is equipped with Bose and Polk sound systems, with a total of 11 speaker pairs providing immersive audio throughout.
The kitchen is both a statement and a sanctuary. Outfitted with two-tone Wood-Mode cabinetry, Calacatta Silver quartzite surfaces, and a waterfall island, it also features a custom hood and a complete Wolf and Sub-Zero appliance suite. A butler’s pantry finished in Calacatta Silver quartzite and a walk-in secondary pantry provide abundant storage and preparation space for the culinary enthusiast. Beyond, a generous mudroom connects to the three-car garage and includes a family powder room. A private guest suite completes the main level, enhancing the home’s flexibility and multigenerational appeal.
Upstairs, the primary suite is a retreat of exceptional comfort. Accented by poplar-beamed ceilings and red oak paneling, the spacious bedroom exudes quiet luxury. Dual custom-built walk-in dressing rooms with bespoke millwork, one with a Taj Mahal-topped island, lead to a private sitting room with a kitchenette and access to a screened-in porch with a luxury mahogany ceiling, the perfect spot for morning coffee overlooking the dew-covered lawn. The spa-inspired bathroom features a Negresco leather granite double vanity, a spectacular Tappeti marble, a Badeloft soaking tub, and an expansive glass shower reminiscent of the world’s finest hotels.
All seven full bathrooms and two half bathrooms are fully tiled on every wall, combining durability with refined design. Three additional bedrooms, each with an ensuite bath and custom-built walk-in closets featuring custom millwork, surround the loft sitting area, while a laundry room adds convenience to the upper level.
The lower level is dedicated to recreation and relaxation. A home cinema with 6.1 surround sound, a glass-enclosed wine room, a fully equipped bar and kitchenette, a fitness center, and an additional guest suite with full bath make this space both functional and inviting. A Savaria Eclipse elevator provides seamless access to all three levels.
Outdoors, two metal pergolas define distinct gathering areas, one anchored by a natural gas fire table. Custom concrete hardscaping and lush landscaping create a private, serene setting perfect for both intimate al fresco dining and larger entertaining.
Smart home systems, including Ring, Nest thermostats, and WiFi-enabled appliances, integrate convenience and efficiency into daily living.
With exacting craftsmanship, cutting-edge design, and an unparalleled location offering both tranquility and proximity to downtown Bethesda, 6605 Lybrook Court represents a rare opportunity to own a newly built residence of architectural distinction in one of the area’s most sought-after enclaves.
