Numerous mature plantings outside create a rustic setting and promote privacy. There is also a stone front walkway, a driveway for two cars and a rear screened porch.

Would you like to know more about the community of Edgewood? It is a harmonious collection of approximately 75 traditional style homes located on Glenwood Road that were constructed in the 1930’s and 1940’s. Every “original” Edgewood home is either a colonial or cape cod and was built with brick construction, plaster walls, oak hardwood floors, slate roofing, and with the care and pride of an era gone by. There are magnificent trees that provide a setting equal to any in Bethesda. And this is a community where people really do know their neighbors and where people work together to help each other and seek to improve the quality of life for all. Many of the Edgewood homes have been expanded and updated and have weathered the decades gracefully.

In addition to all the wonderful people in the community, one of Edgewood’s greatest assets is the proximity to the Metro, parks, schools and downtown Bethesda. Bethesda, with its many desirable restaurants and outdoor activities, is within walking distance and remains the destination of choice for adults and families. So whether it’s Imagination Bethesda, Taste of Bethesda, Bethesda Literary Festival, or the Thanksgiving Day “Turkey Trot”, the charming community of Edgewood offers something for everyone. Please look around, enjoy your visit and see why this home is an excellent value in today’s real estate market.
