Handsome, well cared for brick Cape in prime location walking distance to Beach Drive, the walking/biking trails of Rock Creek Park, and just a few minutes drive to the Marc Train, Saturday farmers market, Antique Row, and the vibrant shops and restaurants of downtown Kensington and North Bethesda.

Off the foyer is a bright, formal dining room with large picture window and lovely chair and crown moldings. The kitchen, large for homes of this era, features wood cabinetry, a peninsula island and a mudroom area and side entry from the driveway for easing grocery transport. In the rear, a French door from the large living room leads to a private, tiered backyard with storage shed and charming flagstone patio perfect for summer barbecues. The first-floor bedroom with full hall bath can also serve as an office. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, a full bath, a cedar closet and storage closet.

The full finished lower level, partly above ground, gets light from windows on two sides. A great family room space which features luxury vinyl tile wood-grain floors, built-in bookshelves with lower cabinets and an exit to the backyard. There is also a laundry room with ample storage space.

With fresh paint and newly refinished hardwoods, this home sparkles. Plantation shutters throughout convey. A driveway provides parking for two cars. Enjoy privacy, serenity and proximity to everywhere you want or need to be. Welcome home.
