About the Listing CBRB53 - 97122

Just in time for Summer, this exceptional Bethesda home invites you to relax, entertain, and truly enjoy your surroundings. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in one of the area’s most sought-after neighborhoods, this beautifully maintained 5-level split colonial offers the perfect blend of comfort, space, and charm. Set on nearly half an acre of lush, landscaped grounds, the property feels like your own private retreat. The backyard is a true highlight, featuring a sparkling heated pool, expansive patio, deck, and a lovely screened porch—ideal for everything from peaceful mornings to lively gatherings. Mature trees and a fenced yard provide both privacy and natural beauty. Inside, a welcoming foyer opens to a light-filled layout designed for easy living and entertaining. The gracious living and dining rooms offer timeless appeal, while the inviting family room—with a gas fireplace and built-in beverage bar—flows seamlessly to the screened porch for year-round enjoyment. The updated kitchen combines style and functionality, complemented by hardwood floors, fresh paint, and new carpeting throughout. With five bedrooms and three full baths, including a convenient main-level bedroom and bath, the home offers flexibility for guests or multi-generational living. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite provides a relaxing retreat with an updated en-suite bath and generous closet space, including a walk-in. Three additional bedrooms and an updated hall bath complete the upper level. The walk-out lower level features a large recreation room, laundry and utility area, and abundant storage. Additional highlights include a two-car garage, charming covered front porch, slate walkway, and a whole-house generator. Ideally located just minutes from downtown Bethesda’s shops, restaurants, and commuter routes—and within the highly regarded Whitman school district—this home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy both convenience and tranquility. A true Bethesda gem ready to welcome you home.
