Welcome to 5120 Wilson Lane, a one-of-a-kind 1927 Art Deco residence nestled in Bethesda’s coveted Edgemoor community. Lovingly expanded and meticulously maintained by the same owners over the last 50 years, this home offers a rare blend of timeless architectural character and thoughtful modern updates. Ideally located just two blocks from Downtown Bethesda, this residence offers the perfect balance of urban-suburban living—with restaurants, shops, the Metro, and cultural venues moments away.

Spanning over 3,000 square feet, the expanded main level features a formal living room, dining room, sun-filled den, and a renovated eat-in kitchen with period charm and modern functionality. A large flexible space, currently used as a family room, doubles as a potential main-level bedroom suite, complete with a full bath and large walk-in closet, offering versatility for guests or multigenerational living. A powder room completes this gracious level.

Upstairs, the second floor offers two bedrooms with built-ins and ample storage, and one-and-a-half baths, while the finished third level provides two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath, perfect for family, guests, or office space. Each floor has its own climate control for maximum comfort and efficiency. The lower level offers generous storage space and potential for future customization. The driveway accommodates up to three vehicles, in addition to the detached one-car garage.

What truly sets this home apart are its authentic Art Deco details, carefully preserved and celebrated throughout:

** Iconic glass block windows bring natural light and bold style, classic to homes of the era
** A striking Art Deco fan makes a dramatic statement in the living room
** The showpiece fireplace mantel blends Art Nouveau curves with sharp Deco lines
** Beveled peach mirror glass under the dining room chair rail captures vintage glamour in its rare hue
** The South Beach–inspired front railing offers a stylish architectural welcome
** Scalloped shell built-in shelves, a beloved Deco motif, offer both beauty and function
** A black-and-white ziggurat floor pattern in the den adds graphic impact

5120 Wilson lane is a truly stand-out home in today's market. Its walking-distance to downtown Bethesda, style, and unique features provide a rare opportunity for buyers interested in the Bethesda Edgemoor community and everything it has to offer.
