This property really showcases the immense possibilities when combining fantastic design choices and smart flexible spaces. A spacious sunfilled living/dining open combo, with nicely refinished hardwood floors, and two bedrooms on the entry-level, with a magazine-worthy full bath featuring vertical shiplap paneling and ceramic tile shower. The rear of the home has a delightfully inviting kitchen with that on-point white/taupe aesthetic of white cabinetry, built-in desk area, and updated ogee-edge countertops. The upstairs has been thoughtfully finished to fully maximize the home's square footage. Enjoy all the ways you can utilize the landing area outside of the third bedroom, as a home office or sitting area. The lower level is fully refinished with newer large-sized windows, new drywall, fresh carpeting, and recessed lighting that makes this a fully functioning addition to the home's spaces that then opens directly to the back patio. Best is the huge primary bedroom suite downstairs with an attached full bath and a walk-in closet. The yard is big, level and deep, ripe for an addition in the future, and backs up to Ken-Gar Palisades Park. Amazing location, just minutes to the quaintness of historic Kensington, the revitalizing vibe of downtown Bethesda, and ideal commuter routes on Connecticut, University and 495.
