Welcome to the 'Eco-Pad', designed and built by Meditch-Murphy Architects in 2009. This 5-bedroom, 4.5 bath 'net-zero' home in Bethesda epitomizes the best in family living, design, and green building. Designed to generate as much energy as it consumes, this home was the first residence in the Metropolitan area to receive a LEED Platinum certification, the highest rating for environmental standards under the U.S. Green Building Council. This contemporary 'lifetime' home has clean lines and a well-designed floor plan, allowing for an environmentally sustainable lifestyle without sacrificing comfort. There is so much to love about this Bannockburn gem: large light-filled open kitchen/dining and living room, beautiful bar and pantry, spacious master bedroom, master bathroom and half bath, 2-car garage with EV charger, green roof, a basement 'In-Law Suite' (with laundry, kitchen, full bathroom, bedroom, and large living room), top-of-the-line multi-zone AV system, solar panels, geo-thermal and solar hot water. Conveniently located in Bannockburn just 2.8 miles north of DC, and only 2 miles east of downtown Bethesda. This home offers close proximity to local gems such as Glen Echo Park, the C&O Canal, the Potomac River, and the Capital Crescent Trail. Great co-operative and public schools such as the Bannockburn Nursery School, the Bannockburn Elementary School, Pyle Middle School, Washington Waldorf School, and Whitman High School. The Bannockburn Clubhouse and Community Garden, and the Bannockburn Pool are one block away. Total Sq Ft 5089 (estimated)
