Wood Acres is one of Bethesda’s most coveted neighborhoods, this expanded two-story colonial sits on a beautiful, level backyard and offers the perfect blend of character, comfort, and livability.
Step through the front door into a welcoming foyer with a coat closet, opening to a formal living room or private office featuring glass doors, built-in shelving, wood blinds, and a beautiful wood-burning fireplace with a classic mantel — the perfect spot to unwind. Across the foyer, the formal dining room impresses with elegant wainscoting, built-in shelving, and a striking bow picture window that floods the room with natural light.
The updated kitchen functions beautifully, offering granite countertops, under-cabinet lighting, and glass display cabinets.
