Walk to trails, parks, red-line metro, boutique stores and drive to I270, I495 in minutes. Welcome to this 5-year-old colonial in one of the best school districts in prestigious Bethesda, Maryland. Very close to NIH, Bethesda town center, and the French International School! Entering the front door, you will be amazed by the two-level foyer with pendant lighting. The library and living room are to your left and right, which the current owners find perfect to use as their separate home offices. Passing the stairs, a well pointed powder room, you will wow at the open and sun lit (all day!) open area which includes a well-equipped kitchen with a sizable island, a dining area in front of a bay window, and elegant family room centered around a gas fireplace. Look through the south facing windows, you will see a beautiful fully fenced backyard with flowers, trees, lush lawns, and a curved flagstone patio. The backyard is much larger than other newer homes in the neighborhood and the good thing is that it does not have another building directly behind?giving you much needed privacy which is hard to find in a place 30 minutes from DC. Upstairs you will love the primary bedroom with its generous size and a wall-to-wall window facing the backyard. There are two walk-in closets. The primary bathroom also boasts a large tub and a jet spray equipped shower. Need more room? You will have 3 more bedrooms, an extra bathroom, and a same-level laundry room to work with. On the lower level, you will find it easy to entertain your parties in the large recreation room equipped with an extra microwave, dishwasher, and washer/dryer. There is a full bathroom next to it, and a walk-up stair to the backyard. So, if your guests want to stay for a couple of days or longer, we get you covered! The lower level could also be used as an in-law suite! The best part- this house is priced reasonably compared to other houses a few blocks away selling two million dollars or more. There is no HOA fee which means saving a few hundred bucks each month!
