A great investment opportunity awaits in Bethesda, in a prime location near 270 and 495, with excellent access to schools, shopping, and entertainment. An open floor plan is the highlight of the main level with the family room, kitchen, and dining areas flowing together. The wood-burning fireplace in the family room offers a peaceful backdrop, and will be appreciated during the coldest of winter evenings. French style doors provide access to a patio area and the backyard. The updated, eat-in kitchen has Whirlpool stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a pair of skylights providing even more natural light. The formal dining room also provides access to the backyard, and like much of the main level, has hardwood floors. With a fantastic view of the front yard and cul-de-sac situs of this home, the large bay window in the living room is certainly the highlight of this room. A sizeable den area and convenient powder room complete the main floor. The upper level has a primary bedroom with an ensuite bath and walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms with original hardwood floors, two linen closets and a full bathroom are also on this level. Another ideal feature of this home is the walk-out basement leading out from the finished recreation room. Options exist to continue finishing the basement area or leave the generous storage and utility spaces already in place. Life will be a bit easier with the two-car garage attached to the home. Situated on an expansive lot spanning nearly half an acre, with a fenced-in backyard, this property makes an exciting canvas for your vision. It won't last!
