Property Description
Welcome to your new home! This charming 1928 bungalow-style residence offers three to four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and three levels of beautifully preserved historic features. Situated on a lush lot with mature trees and perennial flowers, this home provides a serene retreat with a built-in screened porch where you can enjoy the fragrant honeysuckle and peaceful surroundings.
Inside, you'll find high ceilings, stunning hardwood floors, and exquisite antique oak doors and moldings, complemented by glass doorknobs and abundant natural light. The home is equipped with gas heating, central air conditioning, and generous closet space for all your storage needs.
The first floor includes a welcoming front hall with a closet, a cozy living room featuring a brick fireplace, and a dining room with elegant windows, built-ins, and a chandelier. You'll also find two spacious bedrooms on this level—one with a cedar closet and bay window, and the other with a large closet and a sitting room. Just before moving, the current owner oversaw a meticulous renovation of the kitchen, which now boasts cherry cabinets, stainless steel appliances (including a new gas range, dishwasher, and disposal), beautiful granite countertops, an imported Italian ceramic sink, and a cool and hot water filtration system with a secondary faucet. The original pantry adds extra storage space.
The top floor features extensive eave closets, a quiet space for work or reflection, a bathroom with a jetted tub and laundry area, and a large bedroom with views of the front yard.
The lower level offers versatile space with a full bathroom, a second laundry room with a sink, a large main area that can serve as a fourth bedroom or a family/rec room, and a smaller room that can be used as an office, den, craft space, or exercise room. This level also has a private entrance with stairs leading up to the driveway, providing potential for independent living.
Outside, the patio invites relaxation with views of the flower beds and an antique stone fireplace. The fully fenced back and side yard offers privacy and security for children and pets. A detached garage and off-street parking add to the convenience.
Located in the desirable Maplewood/Alta Vista neighborhood, this home is within an excellent 9/10 public school district. The bus stop at the top of the street connects to Old Georgetown Road, making it a quick drive to Wildwood Shopping Plaza in 6 minutes or Downtown Bethesda in 3-5 minutes. It’s also within walking distance of the National Institutes of Health, Walter Reed Medical Center, Suburban Hospital, the Medical Center Station on the Metro’s Red Line, Rt. 495, the YMCA, several private schools, and beautiful, tree-lined parks.
This beautifully crafted historic home offers a perfect blend of comfort, warmth, convenience, and practicality. Schedule a viewing today and make it yours!
