Sitting up a gentle hill in a serene and private setting, welcome to this English Village expanded "story book" cape cod! With room dimensions unlike any cape you have seen before (and will probably ever see again..) this central Bethesda stunner offers classic charm, tasteful modern updates, and the option for easy one level living or even further future expansion! <br> As you enter the home through the charming stone front porch you'll note warm hardwood floors that can be found throughout the main and upper levels of the home. The main level impresses with three bedrooms, all with ensuite baths and all that could function as alternate spaces (one currently doubles as an office while another is currently structured as a massive family room). The formal living room boasts a gas fireplace and the formal dining room features updated lighting and can accommodate a grand dining table - no relative left behind over the holidays and designated to a kids table again:-) The updated kitchen features bespoke vintage cabinets melding with a just updated white quartz counter and backsplash. The size of this chef's kitchen makes preparing meals a breeze with a gas cooktop and large wall oven, and benefits from loads of light both through the sink picture window as well as the connected breakfast area skylights and large format windows looking out over the rear gardens. The breakfast area itself features a full sink and plumbing for your own bar nook, and is so largely proportioned that it could be used both as an informal dining area as well as an additional family room area, And off this area is also a grand deck again looking out over the picturesque rear gardens (images in full bloom included within the pictures). But the highlight of the main level is without a doubt the quiet and secluded massive primary bedroom which features a dual vanity marble bath and a custom walk-in closet. <br> Upstairs you'll find two well proportioned bedrooms each with additional custom closets. The recently updated hall bath sits between both bedrooms and boasts a classic white subway tile design with black trim and features. Also on this level is a gorgeous loft area - again of grand proportions! This loft could be used for multiple home office spaces, yet another family room, an upper level gym or art studio -- the options are nearly endless! And as if this weren't enough already, the lower level of the home offers yet another living room complete with a second fireplace, a wood paneled den which offers a relaxing reading area or potential for a media room, yet another full bath, and loads of area for additional storage or perhaps even a home gym! <br> Other highlights of this impressive property include a two car garage with EV charger, a recently updated boiler, additional parking as well as a turn around paved car-pad (you need never back out onto Bradley, plenty of room to turn around!), updated paint throughout most of the home, and more.. Moments to both the Bethesda Metro and all Bethesda Row has to offer and in the current bounds for Bradley Hills Elementary, Pyle Middle, and Walt Whitman High School, this home offers a rare opportunity to find the prefect sized home (good for those looking to upsize, or even perhaps to "downsize" onto what could offer mostly one level living..) and all at a price that's rarely found this closely tucked in the heart of wonderful walkable Bethesda!
