Manor Once Owned By Journalist Has Potomac River Views, Elevator

BETHESDA, MD — A jaw-dropping manor once owned by television journalist Howard K. Smith can be yours, to the tune of $3,250,000.

Built in 1923, this stunning Bethesda home is located on a private cul-de-sac and is buffered from future development by three acres of protected land. It has six bedrooms, a private elevator, and unparalleled views of the Potomac River.

The kitchen boasts quartz countertops, a Sub-Zero fridge, a Wolf six-burner range, dual ovens, and a warming drawer.

Inside the living and formal dining rooms, you'll find a marble fireplace, a crystal chandelier, and plenty of space to entertain guests.

One of the most breathtaking rooms, in my opinion, has to be the study. It's surrounded by wooden built-in bookshelves and floor-to-ceiling windows.
