Monday: Mind Your Manors

This week’s luxury property is located in Bethesda’s Edgemoor community (zip: 20814) at 5215 Moorland Lane. The English-style manor house, known as “White Chimneys”, was built in 1918 as one of the 5 original Edgemoor residences. Located just a short walk away from downtown Bethesda, the manor is situated on a one-acre, double lot that features tennis courts, a swimming pool, pool house, fish pond and lushly landscaped grounds. In addition, the Edgemoor Club (which has tennis courts and 2 more swimming pools) is a block away. Caroline Freeland Park and the Crescent Trail are both nearby. 

Inside, the house been updated in a way that highlights the original architectural details. In addition to 7 fireplaces and an 1800-bottle wine cellar, the home also offers a family room with heated tile floors and a library with a fireplace. The property has been on Redfin for 256 days, and has dropped to $6,750,000 from its original price of $7,600,000.
