Beautifully sited on an oversized lot in "The Westbrook Neighborhood" of Bethesda, this classic Dutch Colonial style home blends timeless character with thoughtful modern upgrades. Updated yet filled with stunning original details, period mouldings and woodwork, custom built-ins, and hardwood flooring, this four bedroom, two-and-one-half bath center-hall colonial offers three spacious levels of sun-filled living and exceptional flow. A stone walkway welcomes all, with elegant entrance framed by mature trees and manicured landscaping. The perfect floor plan includes a foyer for warm greetings and lingering farewells. Dinner parties large or small are easily accommodated in the formal dining room, opened and cleverly tied into the modern kitchen that shines with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and enhanced layout. The gracious living room with fireplace, main level study, (considered a main-floor bedroom) with a bay window and nearby half bath creates an ideal work-from-home retreat. And the best feature -- a sunroom that opens directly to the newly constructed deck giving owners a natural extension of the living space. Upstairs, the primary suite features hardwood floors, large layout, dual closets, and a private rooftop deck for an unexpected and delightful retreat. Bathed in light, the bedroom level maximizes utility and storage with another bedroom, a den or nursery, closets, along with a full hall bath complete this floor. The lower level offers exceptional versatility with separate entrance, guest bedroom, another full bath, and a utilities/laundry room with sink and additional storage. Outside, the spacious private, fenced backyard offers room to play, garden, entertain, or unwind. Room for a pool? Check! What about enough room to expand and add onto this classic home? Check !
