Three Bethesda homes, an estate in Potomac and a condominium in Chevy Chase were the highest-priced home sales reported in the Bethesda-Potomac-Rockville Area, Maryland, for the week ending November 1, 2026. Together the five sold for $14.81 million.
All five are in Montgomery County, and they span close to a century of building, from a Tudor finished in 1936 to a home completed this year. Four are single-family homes; the fifth is a high-rise residence created from two units.
No. 1 — $3,886,570 · 8524 W Howell Rd, Bethesda, Maryland
The newest home in this Top 5 was built in 2026 on a 0.54-acre lot in Lybrook, and it moved quickly. It went under contract one day after it was listed and sold for $3,886,570, above its $3.75 million asking price. The property last sold for $1.275 million in 2024, before the current home was built.
The Transitional-style home is finished in brick, stone and HardiPlank-type siding and rises three stories, with an elevator connecting them. A front porch opens into a grand entry foyer, while a separate family foyer leads to the mudroom. The main level is laid out openly: a great room, a chef’s kitchen with a scullery, a formal dining room beside a library with a fireplace, and a private in-law suite. Outside, a covered porch with a cathedral ceiling looks over the yard, and the home also has a private pool.
Upstairs are four bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, along with a family room that can serve as flex space. The finished lower level has a full-size bar and a sixth bedroom with a full bath, suited to a guest or an au pair. In all, the home has six bedrooms, nine baths, about 7,514 square feet of living space and a three-car garage. It is in the Walt Whitman school district, a few minutes from downtown Bethesda and the Potomac River.
Carolyn Sappenfield of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty was the listing agent, and Amanda Hewitt of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty represented the buyer.

No. 2 — $3,400,000 · 10021 Counselman Rd, Potomac, Maryland
Architect Glenn Fong designed this stone-and-shingle home in Potomac Village, and Augustine Builders built it. Completed in 2004, it sold for $3,400,000 and is the largest of the five, with 8,279 square feet of living space on 0.98 acres. It also has the most bathrooms in this Top 5, with seven full baths and three half baths, and the largest garage, with room for four cars.
Much of the appeal is outdoors. A heated pool with a waterfall is joined by a pool house with a summer kitchen, its own covered porch and a full bath, and the grounds also include a putting green, a firepit, a broad patio and a screened porch. Gas fireplaces warm both the living room and the outdoor entertaining areas.
Inside, the great room has coffered ceilings, and the main level also includes formal living and dining rooms, a study and a gourmet kitchen with Sub-Zero and Viking appliances. The primary suite upstairs has two walk-in closets and an updated spa-style bath, and four more bedrooms on that floor each have their own bath. The lower level is given over to a theater, a wine cellar, a home gym with natural light and a sixth bedroom with a full bath. River Road gives the home ready access to downtown Bethesda, I-495 and Washington.

The sale included three underground parking spaces and a storage unit.
Built in 1988, the contemporary high-rise community covers more than 17 acres behind a gatehouse, with round-the-clock security, concierge and valet service.
