Welcome to this impeccably maintained, upgraded and lovingly cared for 4 bedroom 2 bath brick home..close to downtown Bethesda that supports higher land value! The family has retired and looking forward to relocating out of state to be with their grandchild. One of the primary reasons the owners bought this home 27 years ago with us was the setting and privacy with the elevated views contributing to abundance of natural light and the coveted school cluster, Bradley Hills/Pyle and Walt Whitman senior. Front development includes large paver driveway with paver retaining wall, under cap lighting to flagstone walkway and stoop. Substantial “all brick” 4 sides home with minimal maintenance as seller had window trim/fascia and soffit wrapped with vinyl and installed concrete siding. Newer efficient double pane quality casement-type Anderson double pane windows throughout home. Lovely like new hardwood flooring sanded and refinished in 2021. Upon entering the bright LIVING ROOM highlighted by centered masonry fireplace converted to quality Mendota FV44, gas log (less mess) burner system with fan and remote. This gracious Living Room has crown moldings, and recessed lights. Separate DINING/R with corner pantry and windows on each wall, opens to REDONE KITCHEN finely executed with tasteful selections: Crystal 42” “solid” light cherry cabinetry with attractive “costa esmeraldo” granite tops, surrounded by “glass” mosaic backsplash. Deep sink under large window. Stainless steel appliances, gas cook-top, self-cleaning oven topped with builtin microwave, abundance of recessed lighting, polished porcelain floor with mosaic inlay and practical door to garden completes this outstanding Kitchen. All three bedrooms fitted with ceiling light-fans, doors replaced with solid oak leaded-glass doors with new brushed steel level door hardware. KING-SIZE MASTER BEDROOM with his & hers closets. Beautiful renovated bathroom with calacatta design porcelain, vanity with exotic granite species, Kohler undermount porcelain sink and Grohe wide spread faucets. Twin medicine cabinets topped with double lighting and Grohe rain shower head with separate handheld shower. …and best of all…a bright LOWER LEVEL is finished from one end to the other… Spacious 35ft RECREATION ROOM with unusually large windows (includes 6ft above bed plus several others) provide abundant natural light plus more than a dozen recessed lights complement the practical porcelain and ceramic flooring. Four storage areas added behind the walls of painted knotty pine panelling. Large rear left corner storage room fitted with work bench could easily be finished off to a private den/BR. Gorgeous white FULL BATHROOM added (with oversized shower) and window, for son's bedroom. Large LAUNDRY ROOM with double laundry tubs and lots good storage but more importantly practical rear access to garden. The rear garden is fully fenced with natural beds of landscaping specimens. The unusually large flagstone patio is ideal for cookouts and yard activities. HVAC with efficient gas replaced in past ten years with gas water heater about three years ago. Electrical panel box was upgraded for todays lifestyle/electrical needs and added a “whole house” surge protector. Close proximity to NIH, Suburban Hospital, downtown Bethesda and metro. It's got it all…Act now, won't last!
