About This Home

As of February 2025

It’s rare to encounter a truly unique property—one that combines rich history, beauty, and elegance. 5908 Bradley Blvd in Bradley Woods is all that and more! Just moments from downtown Bethesda, this stunning property sits on approximately one acre, adjacent to a quarter-acre pond teeming with ducks, wildlife, koi, and surrounded by lush greenery and masterful landscaping.

The enchanting 1939 stone and brick Tudor was designed and built by Harry Edwards, the architect behind Greenwich Forest in Bethesda, as his personal residence. It was later owned by Michael Straight and Nina Auchincloss, the stepsister of Jackie Kennedy. This grand Tudor residence is a classic gem to be treasured.

The generously proportioned living room boasts an impressive fireplace, old-growth chestnut beams, high ceilings, and random-width oak hardwood floors. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer fabulous views of the pond and expansive gardens. The dining room, too, provides guests with a picturesque view of the gardens and pond and extends into a year-round climate-controlled sunroom through a wall of glass.

Upstairs, you’ll find seven bedrooms and six full bathrooms. The primary bedroom suite features two walk-in closets/dressing rooms and two full bathrooms. The lower level offers ample living space, including a sunlit library/office suite with a striking slate fireplace, built-in shelving, and access to a private patio.

This residence is filled with unique features, including a Y-shaped footprint that creates intriguing indoor and outdoor spaces, along with views of the surrounding gardens. The remodeled kitchen is equipped with a Thermador cooktop, Subzero refrigerator/freezer, and a double oven. The rounded breakfast nook, with its floor-to-ceiling window, overlooks a stone porch and perennial gardens. Newly installed landscaping at the front and back of the home is designed to maximize privacy.
