This charming whitewashed brick five-bedroom, three and a half-bathroom Colonial is ready to welcome you! Walk up the brick walkway and enter into the foyer at the heart of this lovingly renovated home. To the right of the foyer is the living room with hardwood floors, built-in shelving, and a brick fireplace. This is the perfect place to not only spend family time but to be the center of any party. The living room flows into the dining room with hardwood floors, a chair rail lining the room and a beautiful chandelier. The gourmet kitchen features stainless Bosch appliances including a dual-fuel range, granite countertops and backsplash, and a convenient powder room, as well as a rear entrance mudroom with extensive built-in pantry cabinetry. Off the dining room is the office/laundry with a second fridge and french doors that provide an expansive view of the backyard. To the left of the foyer is a room that can function either as a master bedroom with a full en-suite bathroom or as a den or family room, with hardwood floors and a cozy second fireplace. Upstairs you will find three spacious and bright bedrooms with plenty of closet space. A full hallway bath with floor to ceiling marble and high-end fixtures is shared between the bedrooms. The entire upper portion of the house has extensive custom woodwork with chair rails, paneling, crown molding, and 6"+ moldings and baseboards throughout. The lower level of the home presents a fully self-contained apartment or "English basement" with its own kitchen and laundry that can function as a home office or an in-law suite. The home has extensive tech and efficiency updates such as Nest thermostats, Ring outdoor lighting, mini-split heating and cooling in the basement and a high efficiency boiler and hot water heater. The large fenced in backyard is a great area to spend some quality outdoor time with children, pets, and/or friends. This home is just about the closest you can be to downtown Bethesda while still remaining in the Whitman school cluster.
