Property Description

Tucked into one of Bethesda's most coveted close-in neighborhoods—where charming original homes share the block with striking new builds—this well-cared-for 1950s rambler with 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms offers the best of both worlds: move-in comfort today and exciting potential for tomorrow. Set on a gorgeous fenced lot less than a mile to downtown Bethesda, the home blends classic character with thoughtful updates: gleaming hardwood floors, recessed lighting, a large family room addition, two fireplaces, a finished basement, and an attached one-car garage. Whether you're dreaming of turnkey one-level living or envisioning a custom transformation in a prime location, this property is a rare find. From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal stands out. Mature trees, tidy landscaping, and a welcoming front walk highlight the timeless brick exterior. The wide, level lot is fully fenced in the rear, offering a practical and inviting outdoor backdrop. There's ample space for entertaining, gardening, pets, or play. Because many surrounding properties have already been expanded or rebuilt, you'll feel right at home whether you enjoy the house as-is or join the trend toward larger, high-end residences. Inside, the home reflects its 1950s roots while embracing modern updates. The foyer opens to a sun-filled living room anchored by the first of two fireplaces, creating a warm setting for cozy evenings or casual gatherings. Hardwood floors shine under natural light, while recessed lighting ensures every corner feels bright and cheerful. The standout feature is the large family room addition at the rear—a space that could accommodate a big sectional, media area, game corner, or casual dining spot. With broad windows overlooking the backyard, this room functions as the home's hub, seamlessly connecting indoor comfort with outdoor fun. The adjacent kitchen balances function and opportunity. Solid birch cabinetry, ample corian counter space, and efficient layout make cooking easy, while its placement near the family, dining, and living rooms keeps everyone connected. Long term, it's ideally situated for an open-concept redesign should you wish. Three comfortable main-level bedrooms are tucked along a quiet hall. The spacious, primary suite features an en-suite bath renovated three years ago. Two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, office, or nursery. The hall bath, renovated five years ago, serves these rooms well. Move-in ready today and all neutral finishes. The finished basement expands the home's versatility. Here, the second fireplace sets the tone for a spacious recreation room, perfect for movies, play, or hobbies. There's plenty of room for a gym or home office setup, plus another renovated full bathroom, generous storage and a dedicated laundry room. An attached one-car garage is a real bonus in this close-in location, offering covered parking and extra storage. The driveway adds more parking, plentiful for guests. This property is equal parts charming and practical. Recessed lighting, hardwood floors, and updated baths blend seamlessly with its classic character, while the wide lot and location provide outstanding long-term potential. Just a short stroll to downtown Bethesda shops, restaurants, parks, and Metro, this home combines convenience, comfort, and opportunity in one of the area's most desirable settings. If you've been waiting for a close-in Bethesda home that delivers location, livability, and long-term upside, this is it! Homes in this pocket don't come along often—especially those that balance turnkey ease with renovation potential.
