Property Description

**Unbeatable value inside the Beltway & Whitman HS Cluster** 7556 Pepperell Drive offers a well-composed balance of space, flow, and livability, with a layout that adapts easily to both daily routines and larger-scale entertaining. A landscaped approach, stone walkway, and covered entry create a welcoming first impression. Inside, the main level unfolds with a natural sense of connection between spaces. The foyer opens to a gracious living room and a formal dining room positioned for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. Beyond, a spacious family room anchored by a fireplace and wet bar serves as a central gathering space, with direct access to the backyard, allowing entertaining to extend seamlessly outdoors. A separate study with built-ins provides a refined and functional work-from-home setting or library. The kitchen, updated with clean-lined slab cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances including a double oven, is thoughtfully integrated into the homes layout. It offers direct sightlines to the family room and opens to a sunroom filled with natural light. From here, access to the stone patio and rear grounds creates an easy indoor-outdoor transition. The sunroom also connects directly to the two-car garage, adding a layer of everyday convenience. Upstairs, the primary suite is both generous in scale and well-appointed, with two custom walk-in closets and a spacious bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, and glass-enclosed shower. Three additional bedrooms and two full baths provide flexibility, including one ensuite bedroom. A well-positioned upper-level laundry room enhances the functionality of the floor plan. The lower level expands the homes versatility with a large recreation room suited for media, fitness, or casual gathering, along with a full bath, a den for guest overflow or workspace, and a substantial storage room with cedar closet. Outdoors, the property truly distinguishes itself. Set on over a third of an acre, the stone patio extends into a beautifully terraced and landscaped backyard that feels both expansive and highly usable. Multiple levels create defined areas for dining, play, and relaxation, while still maintaining a cohesive, open feel rarely found at this size. Mature plantings and an in-ground sprinkler system support the grounds, offering a setting that is as functional as it is inviting. Located within the desirable Whitman High School cluster, the home also offers convenient access to many of the areas most sought-after private schools, as well as nearby amenities including Downtown Bethesda, Westfield Mall, Tysons and Potomac Village. Commuter routes such as I-495 and River Road provide direct access to Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia, while the shops and restaurants of downtown Bethesda remain just minutes away. The result is a location that pairs neighborhood calm with regional connectivity in a way that is both practical and enduring. Come take a second look - main staircase hardwood was exposed and refinished, new carpet in upper level hall and bedroom, powder room and dining room freshly painted!
