Please call Susan at 301-263-0951 to schedule a visit or to gather more information about this house. Gracious colonnial, 3 large bedrooms, 2 full baths and 2 half baths, Bradley Hills-Pyle-Whitman school district, fabulous location. Looking for a home where you have a Ride-on bus stop just across the street from your front door? Or safe sidewalks for a quick walk to Bethesda restaurants on a Friday evening? Or quiet side streets for a peaceful long stroll? Enjoy all three with this house. Conveniently located near a major intersection, the patioed and fenced backyard offers a quiet and peaceful sanctuary that will make you feel like you are in the country. Walt Whitman High School and Thomas W. Pyle Middle School are each less than a mile away, and the bus stop for Bradley Hills Elementary is just a half-block up Maiden Lane, visible from the front yard of the house. Enter into a welcoming center foyer. To your right is an oversized living room with a French door, surrounded by built-in bookcases and cabinets, leading to the patio. Ready for the winter weather, the wood-burning brick fireplace can warm the entire house. Its chimney lining was replaced just three years ago. To the left of the entrance foyer are the spacious dining room and table-space kitchen, separated by a swinging door. The kitchen is equipped with ample counter and cabinet space. Its large window overlooks the patio, and fills the room with cheery sunlight, even in the dark winter months. The outside kitchen door leads to a covered porch that opens onto the patio or through the pedestrian door into the attached garage. Once you have pulled your car into the garage, you need not brave the elements. Your entrance through to the kitchen is warm, dry and safe. Straight ahead from the central entrance foyer is a hallway that leads back to a coat closet, powder room, and enclosed steps to the unfinished basement. In the basement is yet another half bath, and the washer, dryer, furnace, water heater and brand new electric panel. There are two large rooms that accommodate exercise equipment or a ping-pong table. There is an outside entrance and stairwell leading up to the patio. Back to the central foyer on the first floor, you can ascend the stairs to the large second-floor landing. To the right is the huge master bedroom that is as large as the living room beneath it, with private bath (with tub.) To the left, a hallway leads to two large secondary bedrooms, a spacious linen closet, a second bathroom (with tub) and the door to the attic staircase. Two thermostat-controlled whisper-quiet fans work to keep the attic cooled, thus lowering electric bills for the hot summer months. There is plenty of storage space, especially convenient for families relocating to the National Capital metro area. Double-paned Andersen windows, as well as wet plaster-brick and mortar construction, insulate the house from noise and weather. Proximity to Wilson Lane assures early snow removal. Maiden Lane is not a thoroughfare and bares as little traffic as a cul-du-sac would. Commuters are remarkably generous at letting drivers from Maiden Lane into the traffic flow during rush hour. This house has been well-loved and cared for, and it can provide a warm and friendly home for you and your family. Renter pays utility bills-gas, water, electric
