Set on a beautiful lot with a southern exposure, this classic brick colonial is located on a quiet, "no-thru" street and is walking distance to Metro and downtown Bethesda. Features include a level entry, first floor den and garage, separate dining room, living room with fireplace and a charming "octagonal" window. The home has been "gently" lived in for almost 55 years by the original owners and lends itself to expression and updates by the new owners.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE COMMUNITY OF GLENWOOD/EDGEWOOD? It is a harmonious collection of 225 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 do know their neighbors, where there is an intense pride in ownership and where people 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.
Community life is enhanced by the efforts of the Glenwood/Edgewood Citizens Association. The community organization is voluntary and serves the residents by monitoring the progress of downtown Bethesda, NIH and Suburban Hospital. It has been instrumental in the development of a walking path onto NIH campus (which is used to walk to Metro), the planting of many trees on the campus and the creation of an "enjoyment" area on the campus for neighbors to walk their dogs, children to play and adults to walk/run. The association also sponsors a 4th of July celebration and Halloween party each year, both featuring a parade by the children and a great get together for the adults.
In addition to all the wonderful people in the community, one of our greatest assets is the proximity to 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 Festival or the Thanksgiving Day "Turkey Trot", our area offers something for everyone.
Does this sound too good to be true? Ask anyone who lives in Glenwood/Edgewood. They will tell you how special it is! It is a great place to live and call "home".
