Property Description
From the moment you arrive, you're greeted by a sweeping wrap-around porch adorned with turned columns and decorative knob-shaped pendills—a nod to the craftsmanship of a bygone era. A classic gabled roof with slate shingles completes the picturesque exterior, surrounded by lushly landscaped gardens that enhance the home's storybook appeal.
Inside, the charm continues with graciously proportioned rooms, soaring ceilings on the first and second floors, rich hardwood flooring throughout, and an abundance of natural light. The welcoming foyer leads to formal living and dining rooms, highlighted by elegant period details and a cozy wood-burning fireplace.
The thoughtfully updated kitchen combines vintage character with modern convenience, featuring granite countertops, slate tile flooring, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a classic farmhouse apron-front sink. A spacious butler's pantry, mudroom, and laundry area with front-loading washer and dryer add to the home's functionality.
Upstairs, the second floor features three generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom. The third level offers a bonus retreat, ideal for a teenager, home office, or guest suite. The lower level features a charming fieldstone entry and includes a comfortable media/family room, an additional bedroom, built-in storage, and a full bath—perfect for guests or extended family.
Major recent upgrades include a new boiler and new slate roof (2019) and central A/C (2020). This home has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated, preserving its historic integrity while meeting modern needs.
Perfectly located just steps from the Bethesda Trolley Trail, tennis courts, and the Bethesda-Chevy Chase YMCA, and in close proximity to NIH, Walter Reed, Suburban Hospital, Wildwood Shopping Center, Maplewood-Alta Vista Park, and top-rated public and private schools including Wyngate ES and Walter Johnson HS.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a true piece of Bethesda history—where character, location, and lifestyle meet. Currently tenant-occupied – 2-hour notice required for showings. Open House: Sunday, April 6th, 1:00–4:00 PM.
