About 8501 River Rock Ter
REPRICED + READY — The Dream Home with Even More Possibility Set on the developer’s favorite lot in coveted Cabin John, this custom-built 4-bedroom sanctuary (plus 3 bonus rooms!) delivers the kind of peaceful connection most homes only dream of. With views that echo the cliffside beauty of Santorini, every room was designed to open to light, air, and nature—especially the bedrooms. No dark basement here—just a lower level that lives like the main floor, with oversized windows framing serene treetop and garden views. This is where unexpected becomes unforgettable. Whether you’re a multi-gen household, need dedicated space for a home office or au pair, or simply want room to spread out in style—this home flexes beautifully to meet your needs. Tucked into the heart of Bethesda’s Cabin John community, you’re steps from Glen Echo Park, biking trails, coffee shops, and the kind of neighborly charm that makes this pocket so special. And with no HOA, you enjoy freedom along with your lifestyle. Commuters take note: 20 minutes to DC and Rockville, 15 to Tysons, and easy access to major routes including Clara Barton, GW Parkway, 495, 270. Come breathe deeper, live brighter, and fall in love again—with a home that finally feels like the right fit.
