5505 Albia Rd, Bethesda, MD 20816

One of the finest most sought after streets in the 20816 Zip Code, surrounded by more expensive property this classic center hall Colonial with superior room proportions has been recently enhanced by a professional interior paint job top to bottom. The hardwood floors have been refinished in the popular Provincial stain, new carpet has been added in the lower level as well. A brand new electrical panel has been installed. All of this work was completed in the last two months.<br/><br/> The home features 2808 sq. ft. of living space above grade and at least 500+ sq. ft. of finished space on the lower level. There are four spacious bedroms and 2.5 baths on the second floor and a very large attic accessed by a walkup staircase. The lower level has a recreation room w/wood-burning fireplace, a fifth bedroom/office and a full bath, plus a large utility room that accessed the one car garage. This room also has an exit door leading to the fully fenced backyard and....a beautiful POOL, built of this highest quality many years ago and has weather the decades gracefully. The HVAC system is only three years old, the Hot Water Heater is two years old and the asphalt shingle roof and the rubberzed flat roof over the front porch are believed to have been replaced about eight years ago. While the spacious kitchen is fully functional, as are the baths, today's buyer will have the opportunity to consider upgrading. And the price certainly reflects this. Finally, Albia Road's proximity to the new "WESTBARD SQUARE" is perfect. There are hundreds of millions of dollars being invested in this project, the road infrastructure is now in place and OPEN! The new Giant Food Store will open on January 26th, 2024, the remaining shopping center will then be transformed. Google "westbardsquare" for exciting details. Being able to walk in five minutes to all that is going to happen at Westbard Square is a valuable aspect of ownership on Albia Rd. After a decade of waiting it is happening!
