With exceptional curb appeal and classic colonial architecture, this thoughtfully renovated and expanded residence is the perfect blend of timeless style and modern convenience. Captivating sight lines draw your eye through the home from the moment you enter, showcasing stunning views of the surrounding trees and natural landscape. Backing directly to Rock Creek Park—a protected gem with scenic trails and a meandering creek—this home offers unmatched access to nature, just minutes from city conveniences. The main level features a formal dining room, a living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a powder room, and a private office/library. A seamless addition created the heart of the home: a chef’s dream kitchen with a Viking range, walk-in pantry, wine refrigerator, and custom wood cabinetry. This space flows into a spacious family room with a second fireplace and a charming casual dining area under a vaulted beadboard ceiling—flooded with natural light and framed by walls of windows. Step out onto the expansive deck—ideal for gatherings and peaceful outdoor living. A custom mudroom with cubbies connects the garage to the home and offers a separate front entry, perfect for today’s busy lifestyle. Upstairs, you’ll find four generous bedrooms and two full baths. The luxurious primary suite is a retreat of its own with soaring ceilings, oversized windows, a walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath featuring dual vanities and a soaking tub. The walkout lower level is built for entertaining, with a bright recreation room, full bedroom and bath, a bonus room with new luxury flooring, and a well-appointed laundry room with Samsung appliances. Step outside to a covered flagstone patio and fully fenced, level backyard. Located just a block from Rock Creek Park’s biking and walking trails, with easy access to shopping, Metro, and the amenities of Kensington, Bethesda, and Rockville, this is the forever home you’ve been waiting for—set in a serene, sidewalk-lined neighborhood.
