5900 Kennedy Drive

Prominently sited on a prestigious corner lot in the heart of coveted Kenwood, 5900 Kennedy Drive stands as the newest architectural triumph by Terra Innovations, created in collaboration with the acclaimed GTM Architects and the master craftsmen at Castlewood Builders. Conceived as a transitional Tudor, the residence is clad in crisp white brick, an enduring design that merges time-honored English traditions with a contemporary sophistication perfectly suited for modern living. The home has been deliberately oriented to capture southern exposure, allowing natural light to flood the principal rooms. A unique detached one-car garage complements the concealed two-car side-load garage, maximizing lot usability while preserving green space. A sweeping driveway introduces the stately façade, d efined by steeply pitched gables, a slate-style roof, and an arched mahogany-and-glass entry door. Inside, a subtly vaulted foyer sets the stage for 8,808 finished square feet across four thoughtfully designed levels. A classic center-hall plan anchors the main floor. To one side lies the formal living room, light-filled and inviting. To the other, the dining room is distinguished by a tray ceiling with cove lighting, setting a refined tone for entertaining. A private study with custom built-ins offers a serene retreat and, with access to a full bath, doubles as a main-level bedroom—an ideal option for multigenerational needs. The open-concept family room forms the heart of the residence, crowned by dramatic ceiling beams and a gas fireplace framed by built-ins. Expansive glass doors open to the covered porch with its own fireplace, pre-wired for screens, heaters, and media, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living. At the center of the home is the chef’s kitchen, anchored by a 9-foot artisan island and outfitted with bespoke cabinetry, stone finishes, and top-tier hardware. The 55” Lacanche Classique range serves as both a culinary tool and centerpiece, complemented by GE Monogram appliances. A concealed coffee bar, butler’s pantry, and sunlit breakfast area complete the space. Everyday functionality is enhanced by a mudroom wing with powder room, pantry, laundry hookup, and garage access. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a sitting area, private terrace, and dual walk-in closets with custom built-ins. The spa-inspired bath features heated floors, a freestanding soaking tub, dual vanities, and a Kohler digital shower. Four additional en-suite bedrooms and a laundry room complete this floor. The top level adds another bedroom, full bath, and family room, all accessible by the home’s four-level elevator. The lower level is indulgent yet functional. A 32-foot recreation room with wet bar and glass-enclosed wine display serves as its centerpiece. Wellness amenities include a fitness studio, steam shower, and sauna, while a pre-wired golf simulator bay with raised ceilings offers versatility as a recreation or media room. A private au pair suite with exterior access provides independence and flexibility. Outdoors, the level rear lawn is private and pool-ready, with infrastructure already in place. The home’s location is unmatched, set among Kenwood’s famed cherry blossoms, across from the revitalized Westbard Square, minutes to Downtown Bethesda, and near top-rated schools and commuter routes. A singular achievement in design, craftsmanship, and livability, 5900 Kennedy Drive establishes a new pinnacle of luxury in one of the Capital Region’s most distinguished neighborhoods.
