Set on a gorgeous level lot and drenched in sunshine, this classic
brick colonial has been well cared for and thoughtfully updated
and expanded. It is located on a quiet street and features a first
floor family room with cathedral ceiling, cozy sunroom, separate
dining room, two full bathrooms, a finished basement and one of
the most beautiful yards found in the community.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE COMMUNITY OF EDGEWOOD/GlENWOOD?
It is a harmonious collection of 225 traditional style homes, mostly
constructed in the 1930's and 1940's. Every original Edgewood/Glenwood
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 Edgewood/Glenwood
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 walking paths on NIH campus, the planting of many trees there
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 community association is currently involved with MNCPPC
in the renovation of Greenwich Park that will take place next year.
Greenwich Park is the local playground for the neighborhood and
features a basketball and tennis court, playground equipment, picnic
areas and lots of "green space." 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 within walking distance 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.
