About This Home

As of July 2025

Discover a delightful blend of vintage allure and modern flair in this charmingly updated home, located just two blocks from all the excitement of downtown Bethesda! Originally crafted in 1938, this home has been lovingly expanded, boasting a spacious addition at the back and a detached two-car garage. A large driveway with additional parking pad provide plenty of parking.

Inside, you'll find beautiful hardwood floors and generous room sizes throughout. The heart of the home is a large gourmet kitchen, complete with a walk-in pantry, stainless appliances, and plenty of cabinet space. The kitchen flows effortlessly into a sun-kissed family room, complete with built-in bookshelves for your favorite reads and a door that leads to the rear deck for those al fresco evenings.

A first floor bedroom with full bath (currently used as a private home office) provides a convenient space for homeowners who desire one-level living. The main level also includes a spacious living room with a cozy wood-burning fireplace and a dining room featuring a built-in china cabinet. Enjoy outdoor living with a screened porch off the living room and a wrap around deck overlooking a large, flat, fenced-in backyard.

Upstairs, the home offers four spacious bedrooms, including a primary suite with an en suite bath and walk-in closet. Each bedroom boasts ample closet space, ensuring plenty of storage. A full size laundry room is also located on the bedroom level.

Additional features include a finished basement with a large recreation room, workspace, storage, and a substantial closet space with shelving. The property is surrounded by mature trees and landscaping, adding to the home's curb appeal.

Located just a stone’s throw from all that downtown Bethesda has to offer, this home offers unmatched walkability to the vibrant Bethesda Farm Market, grocery stores, restaurants, schools, and more — all just steps away!
