Be the home where everyone wants to gather! Your kids and their friends will flock to your house because it's across from Walt Whitman H.S. How cool and convenient! While the original 1964 layout remains, this newly updated, stately ranch-style home in Bethesda has been transformed for today's lifestyle. It offers flexible spaces perfect for remote work, kids' hangouts, or a dedicated fitness area--all within a thoughtfully designed layout featuring a walkout basement. The oversized, modern kitchen is a showstopper, featuring rich dark cabinetry, a gas stove with a pot filler, stylish fixtures and pulls, and a cozy fireplace--the perfect spot for cooking, entertaining, or unwinding. There's even room for a coffee or wine bar! Host in style in the formal dining room, which, with its original wallpaper, nods to the home's 60's charm. Alternatively, relax in the spacious living room, which is made for gatherings. With five bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, there's plenty of room for the kids, guests, and flex space. The lower-level rec room with a kitchen bar area will surely be a family favorite. The separate mudroom entrance to the laundry room adds everyday convenience, perfect for busy households.
