Agent Description

Step into timeless charm with this beautifully preserved 1920s stucco home, where classic craftsmanship and thoughtful updates come together seamlessly. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and three finished levels, this residence offers both character and functionality in one of Bethesda's most desirable neighborhoods.

From the moment you arrive, the home's solid wood trim, original moldings, glass door knobs, and rich hardwood floors set the tone-details that are simply not replicated in today's construction. The inviting screened front porch provides the perfect place to unwind while overlooking the lush, mature landscaping that surrounds the property.

Inside, the home blends historic charm with modern convenience. The kitchen has been tastefully updated with custom cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a large ceramic sink imported from Italy, complemented by a dedicated water filtration system.

The original pantry has been preserved, adding both functionality and a nod to the home's heritage. The lower level expands the living space with a versatile family room, full bathroom, and laundry area-ideal for guests, a home office, or additional living flexibility.

Don't miss the separate entrance off the driveway side of the home which expands your opportunity to host the basement as an in-law suite, au pair suite, or an income producing lower level. Set on a rare lot and a half, the property offers a larger-than-typical yard for the neighborhood-fully fenced and surrounded by mature trees and perennial plantings.

Whether entertaining on the patio or enjoying quiet outdoor space, this setting is a true standout. A detached garage and additional off-street parking complete the package. Tucked away in the highly sought-after Maplewood / Alta Vista neighborhood, this home offers unmatched convenience - just moments to NIH, Walter Reed, Suburban Hospital, YMCA, and local parks.

Commuting is easy with nearby bus access, two Red Line Metro stations within 3 miles, and quick connections to downtown Bethesda, Wildwood Shopping Center, and I-495. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy the warmth and craftsmanship of a historic home, paired with the space, location, and updates that today's lifestyle demands.
