Colonial

OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY, MARCH 23RD CANCELED! Prepare to be impressed! Bright, open center hall (with decorative inlaid hardwood) colonial on a great, low-traffic street in the Springfield neighborhood of close-in Bethesda! Renovated and expanded on all three levels in 2005 (extensive millwork!), this elegant home has a gourmet kitchen with upgraded, newer appliances and is open to a fabulous coffered-ceiling family room. The family room is centered around a marble fireplace and has glass doors that lead to a wonderful custom patio. This main level also has an office with built-in shelving/cabinets, a gracious dining room with a gas fireplace, a powder room and a one-car garage.<br/><br/> The ample landing of the second level leads to a spacious Primary Suite with a walk-in closet and a beautiful en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom has an updated en-suite bath as well and the other two bedrooms share the updated hall bathroom. The laundry room and a closet for the upstairs gas furnace are on this level as well.<br/><br/> Much thought went into the offset stairway to the lower level and it is quite pleasing. Those stairs lead to a large, rustic recreation room with a wood burning stone fireplace, beamed walls and two glass door exiting to the lower patio. The lush, green rear garden is a serene setting for relaxation and/or entertaining. The lower level offers the 5th bedroom and another full bath. There is a big storage room and the utility room with a nearly new gas furnace.<br/><br/> Springfield is a highly desirable neighborhood that benefits from its close proximity to DC for an short commute downtown. Wood Acres Elementary School and the wonderful Wood Acres Park are readily accessible within the neighborhood and the upcoming development of Westbard Square is within easy walking distance! The Capital Crescent Trail is nearby for a quick walk or bike ride into thriving downtown Bethesda. Whitman High School cluster. This is an exceptional opportunity to which you should pay prompt attention!
