The Kitchen / Family room addition with its skylit cathedral ceiling is the highlight of this rock solid home in the desirable Springfield neighborhood of close-in Bethesda! The windows of the kitchen and family room look out to the broad, green backyard - a valuable asset! Equally notable is the location of the house only a block away from Wood Acres Elementary School and Park! Boom! Done! OK, there is more... the spacious Living Room has a classic wood-burning fireplace and attractive French doors leading to the rear flagstone patio. There is a separate Dining room as well as a versatile homework/home office space and an enclosed porch. Three bedrooms and two baths complete the main level. The lower level has a large, finished recreation room with a fireplace and out of ground windows, a den, a full bath, laundry area, utility room and the one car garage. The commute to downtown DC is convenient from this location and the nearby Capital Crescent Trail leads quickly in to thriving downtown Bethesda. The future redevelopment of the Westbard area will be within walking distance and will add tremendous value to this already appealing home. You will love living here - promise!
