Welcome to this quintessential center-hall Colonial, perfectly maintained and cared for, and located in the sought-after Bradmoor neighborhood and Whitman School District of Bethesda. Only 3 blocks to Bradley Hills Elementary School and Community Park, 5 blocks to the National Institutes of Health, and 1.5 miles to downtown Bethesda's restaurants and shops. The light-filled home features a lovely living room with beaming hardwood floors, a cozy den/office with built-in bookcase, a formal dining room, and a table-space kitchen with gas appliances. The kitchen opens onto a beautifully landscaped, private and fully-fenced backyard with large Trex deck -- fantastic for al fresco dining and entertaining. The upstairs features three bright bedrooms and one full bathroom. The lower level includes a separate finished recreation (or guest) room and a second full bath, and an immaculate utility room for laundry and storage. There is also an attached one-car garage. Upgrades to this classic brick Colonial include: all replacement Pella windows; architectural shingled roof from 3 years ago, new gutters, downspouts and gutter guards, and more.
