The home’s four-level split design offers exceptional versatility, providing multiple living areas ideal for entertaining, working from home, fitness, recreation, or guest space. Updated kitchen and baths provide both style and functionality, while hardwood floors on the main and bedroom levels add warmth and continuity throughout the home. Freshly painted living and kitchen spaces create a bright, welcoming atmosphere, enhanced by recessed lighting in the main living area and lower-level fitness room. The family room features luxury vinyl plank flooring and opens to a screened in porch through elegant French doors, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. Separate Home Office or Den off the family room with full bath close by. The primary bathroom renovation was completed in 2023, and additional recent improvements include fresh paint in the family room and basement, motion-sensor lighting in bedroom closets, a weatherproof exterior electrical outlet, and professionally cleaned HVAC and dryer vents. Major system and exterior upgrades provide peace of mind, including new windows throughout the home, a hot water tank, dishwasher, washer and dryer, and a bathroom exhaust vent. French drains and upgraded landscaping with mature plantings and a Japanese maple enhance both curb appeal and drainage.

Bethesda
Bethesda
Getting ahead in a relaxed fashion. While this DC suburb used to be well on the fringes of urban life and entertainment, today’s Bethesda is anything but boring. With a bustling, pedestrian-friendly downtown featuring high-end dining and shops, this self-confident community is on the move.
