$3.49M Buys Modern Yet Cozy Dream Home In Bethesda

BETHESDA, MD — Modern homes — with their clean lines and open floor space — get a bad rap for looking cold and uninviting. But this Bethesda listing is turning that narrative on its head — showing us that contemporary and cozy can stylishly coexist.

A standout among its neighbors, 7406 Fairfax Rd. boasts five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, and 6,350 square feet of living space. Its price: a cool $3,495,000.

Beyond the front door is a family room with crisp white walls and floor-to-ceiling windows. The fireplace, tiered pendant lighting, and hardwood floors add warmth and glamour to the ultra-modern space.

It flows seamlessly into the kitchen, which boasts an expansive center island that can comfortably seat three. A dining room, cozy office, and mudroom round out the main level.

Stairs from the foyer lead to the upper level, where you'll find an impressive owner's suite.

The space is simplistic, bright, and airy — everything a modern homeowner would want in a bedroom. Natural light pours in through floor-to-ceiling windows. And a walk-in closet provides more than enough space for even the most fashion-inclined person.

The lower level has a guest room, a huge lounge, and utility storage. The entertainment space can easily double as a home theater. Just add a projector and one of those popcorn machines, and you're good to go.
