Serenely nestled on nearly an acre in the heart of the Green Acres neighborhood of Bethesda, this distinctive mid-century modern home delivers the most unique suburban setting with great convenience to Washington, DC, downtown Bethesda, and Northern Virginia. There is a wonderful sense of privacy in nature with expansive mature tree top views and rolling, verdant grounds. Stone walkways and a back terrace spanning the length of the home take advantage of the natural views - perfect for outdoor gatherings and relaxation. This tranquil brick and slate home encompasses approximately 2,900 +/- square feet on two levels of living and enjoys four bedrooms and three full bathrooms. Featuring one-of-a-kind details throughout, including stone and exposed brick walls, gleaming hardwood and hand-laid stone floors, two fireplaces, and light-filled rooms with oversized windows. Additional offerings include an attached workshop, potting greenhouse, a storage shed, and a spacious driveway for ample off-street parking. The nearly acre lot is resplendent with mature trees, flowering bushes, and a variety of plantings that bloom throughout the year. The rolling topography undulates from the stone terrace as it cascades down towards the creek bed. Backing to protected wooded parkland, the lot offers ample space for gardening, romping with dogs or children, and a quiet, verdant respite from the busy life that surrounds the property. Subdivided decades ago, this parcel was designed to provide a true oasis in the middle of a close-knit typical suburban development. 5311 Allandale Road benefits from urban-suburban living at its finest. The Little Falls Swimming Club, the Capital Crescent Trail and neighborhood parks close-by, while being convenient to the Friendship Heights Metro, many shops, restaurants, bus stops, major transportation routes, with easy access to DC, World Bank, IMF, Embassy Row, NIH, Walter Reed and other major employment centers. A wonderful opportunity to make this peaceful retreat your own! Westbrook, Westland, and B-CC schools serve the neighborhood.
