Any offers requested by 6pm on WEDNESDAY, Feb 9th. A beautifully-updated 5-bed, 3-bath Cape Cod on a quiet street, walking distance to downtown Bethesda and NIH with easy Metro access and minutes from 495/270, offers top-of-the-line upgrades and one of the best backyards in the area (no houses or roads in direct sight). As you enter this sunlit home, you\?ll be welcomed by a wood-burning fireplace leading to the bright and airy sunroom or your home office with huge windows overlooking your large and private backyard. Entertain guests in the dining room with a view of the deck/backyard or enter the deck through the Andersen patio doors or from the kitchen. No expense was spared on the fully-renovated kitchen installed by KBR that features custom inset white maple solid wood Medallion cabinetry, quartz countertops, coordinated stainless steel appliances (GE Profile, Samsung, and Bosch), and stunning Maniscalco glass backsplash tile. On the main level, you\?ll also find the primary bedroom suite with a custom Elfa closet system and updated marble bathroom equipped with sliding glass shower and a stylish marble vessel sink vanity. Upstairs, you\?ll find three spacious bedrooms with lots of windows (one has a skylight) with custom Elfa closets and built-in drawers and storage. The upstairs bathroom has floor-to-ceiling onyx tiles with Kohler shower/tub and two mirrored storage vanities. The lower walk-out level offers a bright recreation room perfect for movie nights or watching the game. On the lower level, you\?ll also find the 5th bedroom and spa bathroom with a luxurious, claw-foot Kohler soaking tub with a private window into the backyard (also could be used as an in-laws or au pair suite given the separate entrance). The laundry area has a large-capacity LG washer and dryer and two-sink stainless steel utility sink with storage cabinets and access to the attached garage and expanded new flagstone patio from the lower level. The outdoors is perfect for entertaining! You and your guests can enjoy grilling on the huge patio or dining on the large deck all in the privacy of your fenced-in yard, which has been newly landscaped. A tall and mature weeping willow frames wide open spaces perfect for kids and pets and cherry blossom trees, bountiful red roses, azaleas, fuchsias, rhododendrons, butterfly bush, and evergreens provide even more beauty and privacy. Just a mile to the Metro, and minutes to bustling downtown Bethesda with tons of great restaurants, like True Food Kitchen, Persimmon, Olazzo, Woodmont Grill, Bethesda Blues and Supper club, and Uncle Julio\?s, plus plenty of shopping with Bethesda Row, Shops of Wisconsin, and Montgomery Mall nearby. Don\?t let this one go!
