Some homes are simply loved into greatness. Nestled in Wheatley Hills - one of close-in Bethesda's most established and sought-after enclaves, adjacent to prestigious Edgemoor and beloved Battery Park - this picture-perfect colonial is offered for sale for the first time in over half a century. Thoughtfully expanded across three generations of additions, 7822 Moorland Lane delivers the rare combination of timeless charm, genuine character, and walk-to-everything convenience that defines the best of close-in Bethesda living.
Beautifully sited on a gorgeous, tree-lined lot with lush, mature gardens in full bloom, the home's curb appeal is immediate and undeniable. Inside, the layout is both gracious and effortlessly functional. A large, sun-filled living room anchors the main level alongside a stately formal dining room with views overlooking the rear gardens - a backdrop that transforms every dinner into something special. The family room and breakfast nook offer relaxed everyday comfort, while a separate den with an adjacent full bath provides true flex functionality as a guest suite, home office, or au pair retreat.
The kitchen is a showpiece - custom cabinetry in abundance, top-of-the-line stainless appliances, rich silestone quartz countertops - designed for serious cooking and effortless entertaining. All four bedrooms are privately situated upstairs, with the primary suite anchored by a serene, grey-toned marble veined ceramic bath. The attached garage is EV-ready, and a large driveway provides ample off-street parking - a genuine luxury in close-in Bethesda. Downstarirsz the unfinished basement is ready for your touches or serves as additional storage or a workout room (rough in for bath in place). Tucked into the rear of the property, a screened "tiny house gazebo" delivers the shaded outdoor sanctuary Bethesda summers were made for. Updated 2 zone HVAC with Enviro Air ultra-filtration and a whole-house generator completes the picture.
The location is simply unmatched. Steps from Downtown Bethesda and the vibrant open-air scene at Bethesda Row - home to the celebrated Raku for contemporary Asian cuisine and sushi, the Michelin-rated ala for Levantine dining, the Apple Store, Marine Layer, and the Landmark Theatre for independent film. Sunday mornings belong to the Central Bethesda Farm Market at Bethesda Elementary School, a five-minute stroll straight up Wilson Lane - one of the neighborhood's most cherished weekly rituals. And for the discerning home cook, specialty grocers Butchers Alley and Pescadeli keep the kitchen exceptionally well-stocked year-round.
Prestige, proximity, and a home cherished for generations. 7822 Moorland Lane is ready for its next chapter.
