About This Home
PRICE IMPROVEMENT! If you’re drawn to the charm and lifestyle of Carderock Springs and the Whitman cluster, don’t miss this opportunity! With over 4,368 square feet of living space—plus untapped potential in the massive attic—8625 Fenway Road offers incredible room to grow in a truly special setting. This timeless Monterey-style brick colonial—an architectural rarity in the area—blends classic colonial elegance with Spanish-inspired design, complete with its signature second-story balcony. Set on just over 3/4-acre of lush greenery and mature trees, this home offers a serene retreat while providing the perfect opportunity to enjoy the close-knit Carderock Springs community and the sought-after amenities that make this area so special.
As you approach the home, you'll notice its stately presence, set back from the road with a long, winding stone path leading to the welcoming front porch. Step inside to the foyer, where to your left is an office/library that opens into an expansive, light-filled family room addition. This room features a wall of glass windows offering breathtaking views of the picturesque surroundings, soaring ceilings, and a wall of built-in bookcases. To the right of the foyer, the main level also features an elegant formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a formal dining room adjacent to the light-filled kitchen with a pantry, ample cabinetry, a gas cooktop island, and a large picture window showcasing the scenic views. A convenient powder room completes this level.
Upstairs, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms, a renovated hall bath, including a primary suite with a fully renovated ensuite bath with heated floors. True to its Monterey-style design, two of the upstairs bedrooms, including the primary, open onto a balcony that spans the length of the house. With intricate wrought-iron railings and tranquil views of the surrounding landscape, this outdoor retreat is perfect for morning coffee or a peaceful retreat at sunset.
Prepare to be surprised as you step into the spacious attic level, where possibilities abound. This versatile space boasts high ceilings, making it ideal for storage or ready to be transformed into an additional primary ensuite or recreation room tailored to your needs.
The home also boasts a finished walkout lower level with impressive 9 1/2-foot ceilings, and a high-quality Mendota gas brick fireplace installed a decade ago and recently serviced in fall 2023. With its generous layout, this area can offer the perfect additional family room or home theatre. The lower level also includes an office space, a third full bath, a laundry area, and an abundance of storage.
Additional highlights include a spacious two-car garage with a level 2 electric vehicle charging station, electric/invisible fence and home theatre system that conveys. This home relies on a well-maintained water well and septic system. The water treatment system was updated in 2024, and the septic tank was serviced in 2023. There are no WSSC fees for water and sewer.
