A spacious driveway accommodates up to four vehicles, while a separate shed provides excellent storage for bikes, gardening tools, and outdoor equipment. The location is truly exceptional, with easy access to Metro and major commuter routes and within comfortable walking distance of NIH. Best of all, there is no HOA. Recent improvements provide additional peace of mind, including a new roof (7/26), new water heater (6/26), HVAC systems (2019 and 2021), and servicing of all three fireplaces (9/26). Combining classic Colonial charm, thoughtfully updated interiors, exceptional outdoor living, and an unbeatable Bethesda location, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy gracious living, effortless entertaining, and everyday convenience in one of Bethesda’s most desirable neighborhoods.
