4919 Cumberland Avenue

Welcome to an inviting and expansive Nantucket-style residence with light-filled spaces that encourage relaxing and fun times with family and friends.  This Somerset home, originally constructed in 1910 and recently transformed blends historic charm with modern luxury.  Dramatically sited on a large half-acre lot, the home backs to green parkland and is surrounded by mature plantings and trees. 

Guests are greeted at a covered front porch and then lead into a foyer with soaring ceilings and a sweeping staircase.  The main level offers formal entertaining spaces including a living room with gas fireplace flanked by custom bookcases and a dining room overlooking the park.  The more casual section of the main level includes a breakfast room, powder room, family room with custom shelving and gas fireplace, study, and screened-in porch.  The light-filled chef’s kitchen functions as the heart of the home with professional grade appliances, quartz countertops with bar seating, space for gathering, and a back staircase. 

The upper level provides a primary suite with a large walk-in closet and a marble bath with double vanity.  Currently, the house features five bedrooms with a large home office/study and five full baths. 

Throughout the home one finds hardwood floors, recessed lighting, zoned heating and air conditioning.  Other amenities include a hardscaped sunken garden patio with built-in grill and wood-burning fireplace, front porch seating area, outdoor hot tub, and a 2-car garage.  The neighborhood of Somerset has its own swimming pool and tennis courts for residents and one is within walking distance of both downtown Bethesda and Friendship Heights as the Capital Crescent Trail and Little Falls Park Trail.
