Just steps over the DC line, welcome to this delightful, updated and expanded cottage-style home on a large lot in the heart of the wonderful Brookdale community. Featuring hallmark-details of developer Cooper Lightbown, it charms with hardwood floors, detailed millwork, a beautiful front covered porch overlooking a corner lot.
This quintessential four bedroom, three-and-one-half bathroom home shines with its modern kitchen highlighted by the breakfast bar and open-concept living / dining spaces, and easy access to gardens, patio, and fenced-in yard.
The dining room was designed for large scale entertaining or intimate dinners. Bathed in sunlight, the connection to the outdoors is a breeze with the large oversize sliding door to the patio. The living room is anchored by the fireplace with large windows providing exposure and light. The main floor powder room is tucked away for the ultimate convenience.
Upstairs, two bedrooms with a Jack and Jill full bath are located on the mid-level, and on the upper level is the primary suite including walk-in closet and an ensuite full bath.
Don’t miss the cozy bonus room just off the stairs, which has served as a reading nook, a sleepover headquarters, and a “Lego Lab” over the years. Imaginations run wild in a hideaway like this. A fully-floored attic, also on the second level, provides an excellent finishing opportunity and ample storage.
Heading downstairs, the fourth bedroom with an adjacent sitting room is an ideal guest quarters, home office, den, or au pair suite. It can be accessed from the outside as well. The lower level features the finished family room, laundry, storage, and another full bath.
4601 Overbrook Road benefits from neighborhood parks and trails and is convenient to Friendship Heights, Spring Valley, and the Capital Crescent Trail. The Brookdale Citizens Association sponsors events and a newsletter. Nearby Metro and major commuting routes make for easy navigating into Bethesda, Chevy Chase, and Tenleytown. Westbrook, Westland, B-CC schools serve the neighborhood.
Brookdale, developed between 1934 and 1950, is a distinctive neighborhood with an unusual degree of cohesion due to the fact that the same builder and his successor company, Cooper Lightbown & Sons (later Associates), developed the neighborhood. Brookdale is distinguished by fine craftsmanship and architectural flourishes that go beyond what was typical during the Depression and into the war years. This village-like quality is evoked by the cottage-style architecture, a lack of sidewalks, and the nature of its landscaping, which includes mature trees and cottage-style plantings. Brookdale Citizens Association is an active proponent of enjoyable neighborhood events like block parties and Halloween events; and also publishes the charming “Brookdale Bugle” neighborhood newsletter. Westbrook, Westland, B-CC schools serve the area.
