With panoramic views of the Potomac River and over 4,000 square feet of living space, this stately 5 bedroom, 4 and 1/2 bath, solid-stone home is known throughout Bethesda as the “R.A. Charles Castle.” The "castle" features a large open-plan main floor flooded with natural light. There is French door access to a large stone terrace for outdoor dining. Also on the main level is a 1/2 bath, large walk-in pantry, kitchen bar seating and a beautiful wood burning fireplace. On the main floor you will appreciate the multiple seating areas and the large dining room with butler's bar. Don't miss the breakfast area on the enclosed former porch which is a perfect spot for morning coffee as the sun rises over the river. On the second floor are three bedrooms and two full baths including a primary bedroom with en suite that features a large walk-in steam shower, separate tub and notable solid marble double sink. The third floor consists of a large bedroom/loft, also with en suite bath. The lower level is currently a capacious family room with additional storage, wine cellar, 5th bedroom and full bath. There is a fully roughed in kitchen on this level if any future plans include an in-law or au pair suite. Only the highest quality materials were used throughout the home including solid Mahogany interior doors throughout.

The provenance of the “R.A. Charles Castle” can be traced back to 19th century industrialists Edward and Edwin Baltzley. Born into an Ohio family of industrialists and inventors, the twin brothers dreamed of developing a “Rhineland on the Potomac.” To finance their bold endeavor, Edwin used the fortune he’d amassed from his invention of the spatter-less eggbeater, to purchase 500 acres of land on the bluffs above the river on Conduit Road (today known as MacArthur Boulevard).

The Baltzley brothers envisioned a community for the wealthy and upper class that would be the hub of culture and education in suburban Washington. They helped establish the National Chautauqua of Glen Echo, part of a movement that offered education and entertainment to the middle class, and founded the companies that built trolley lines to Glen Echo from Chevy Chase and downtown Washington, D.C.

In February 1890, R. A. Charles, an employee of the Treasury Department, purchased land from Edward Baltzley and began construction of his home. Theophilus Parsons Chandler, who designed the "Baltzley Castle" next door, is believed to have been the architect for both properties. Hired for the cache of his name, Chandler was best known for designing palatial country homes, ornate churches and grand enclosures at the Philadelphia Zoo.

In addition to being placed in the Maryland Inventory of Historic Properties, the “R.A. Charles Castle” was fully renovated in 2013. The home boasts a picturesque view of the Potomac River and tastefully combines the design elements of stone, brick, steel, glass and wood. It is easily one of the most distinctive properties in Bethesda. With its documented province and stately design, this offering presents a rare and wonderful opportunity to own a piece of Bethesda history.

Welcoming to this stunning contemporary home, which is truly one-of-a-kind, in sought-after Luxmanor. From the foyer, enter the immense great room, which is the core of the home, with sweeping two story windows, a floor to ceiling gas fireplace and heated concrete floors. Looking for more privacy? A remote control lowers the shades that cover the two story floor to ceiling windows. The gourmet kitchen with its huge island, tons of cabinet space, two sinks and a pot filler faucet over the cooktop is a chef's dream. There is a coveted home office just off the great room with its own half bath/powder room, and another possible home office on the top floor – the "sky room." All told, the home has six bedrooms and five and half baths, and the quintessential flexible floor plan, with big places to gather and plenty of private spaces. Looking for a family room off the kitchen? Relocate the dining room to the Great Room. For climate control and energy efficiency, each living area has a separate thermostat, for a total of 14 zones. The Primary Bath and three other full baths have heated floors and towel bars. There are two decks off the upper levels for enjoying the warmer months. The home has two driveways: one leads to the attached two car garage, and the other, concrete, driveway leads to a covered carport – and this driveway is heated. No shoveling required! Outside, soon the dogwoods in the front will be in bloom and other trees on the property leafed up! This corner lot provides room for outdoor entertaining, and easy access in and out of the neighborhood. Luxmanor is in that sweet spot: close to major transportation and Red Line Metro, shopping, dining and more at nearby Pike & Rose, Wildwood Shopping Center, Whole Foods, Starbucks and more, while still maintaining that neighborhood feel. This stunning home could be “it!”

Home to the same family for decades, this Georgian colonial was built in 1918 as the model home to the "newer" section of the Village and is expectantly awaiting its next steward.

Dining and breakfast rooms are found with the kitchen on the other side of the foyer; the dining room also has original French doors to the front. The rear foyer and kitchen open to a deck and the elegant landscape and pool-sized grounds of the property. The second level features three bedrooms and two baths, including the primary with ensuite bath and a large sitting room with vaulted ceiling.
