Located on the premier street in one of Bethesda's most coveted neighborhoods, this stately Dutch colonial offers the kind of space and character that's hard to find in a rental. This house has never been rented before, which is obvious from the pristine condition. Freshly refinished hardwood floors run throughout the main level, connecting a formal dining room with classic wainscoting, a large sun-filled living room, and a cozy wood-paneled study with built-in shelving. The renovated kitchen with breakfast nook is the heart of the home, with crisp white cabinetry, dark stone countertops, a tile backsplash, and a full stainless steel appliance package including a 5-burner gas cooktop. The main level is completed by a fully screened porch, accessed directly off the kitchen, with enough space for both a seating area and a dining table. There is also a full bathroom on the main level. Upstairs you'll find four generously-sized, light-filled bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The finished lower level adds even more flexible room to spread out, ideal as a playroom, media space, or home gym. Storage and laundry room are partially finished and renovated. The fifth bedroom resides on the lower level within an in-law suite with a full bathroom and kitchenette. Out back, a stone patio and seating area overlook a large private lawn shaded by mature trees. With timeless curb appeal, thoughtful updates, and room for everyone, this is a home that's ready to move right into. The home is less than a five minute walk from Wood Acres Elementary School and the popular Wood Acres neighborhood park. This close-in Bethesda location allows for an easy commute into DC or Northern Virginia. Nearby attractions include Glen Echo Park and the Capital Crescent Trail for a short bike ride into thriving downtown Bethesda.
