Set on a gorgeous, landscaped yard, this handsome brick colonial offers many of today's modern conveniences with the charm and character of yesteryear. The home features a first floor family room off an open kitchen with Corian countertops, renovated upstairs bathroom with heated and jetted tub, updated HVAC systems, wood floors, beautiful moldings, bay window, two fireplaces and a finished basement. In addition, the yard is superbly kept with mature landscaping, a variety of specimen plantings, rock walls and a private backyard patio with deck. It is ideally located on a quiet street in the close-in and highly desirable neighborhood of Glenwood.

The community of Glenwood is a harmonious collection of traditional style homes, mostly constructed in the 1930's and 1940's. Every original Glenwood/Edgewood home is either a colonial or cape cod constructed of brick, plaster walls and oak hardwood floors with the care and pride of an era gone by. The rolling terrain and magnificent trees provide a setting equal to any in Bethesda. But the community is more than just brick and mortar. This is a community where people really know one another and work together to improve the quality of life for all. The homes are meticulously cared for, many have been expanded/updated and all have weathered the decades gracefully.

In addition to all the wonderful people in the community, one of our greatest assets is the close proximity to the NIH/Navy Medical Metro, numerous parks and downtown Bethesda. Bethesda, with its many desirable restaurants and outdoor activities, is only a short walk and remains the destination of choice for adults and families. Whether it's Imagination Bethesda, Taste of Bethesda, Bethesda Literary and Arts Festivals or the Thanksgiving Day "Turkey Trot", downtown Bethesda offers many activities for families and adults to enjoy. And this home, with quality updates, charm and location, is an exciting value in today's real estate market.
