Situated on an idyllic treelined street in the heart of Bethesda, sits this updated 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom Colonial with modern updates throughout mixed perfectly with original charm.   This home is truly an entertainer’s dream! Walking in your eyes are immediately drawn to the warm hardwood floors in the living room that features a wood-burning fireplace and arched passageway that leads to the formal dining room. Just off the dining room to the rear of the home is a large kitchen that opens into a great room with oversized windows allowing natural light to stream through and a sliding door leading to your deck. A wall of exposed brick outlines these rooms. The kitchen is a chef’s dream with cherry cabinets, Wolf gas range, two ovens, a warming drawer and pantry. Off the kitchen and dining room a screened porch is the perfect spot to gather with guests after dinner. A half bath completes the main level.   Upstairs you’ll find 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Classic details are captured in the black-and-white designed hall bathroom. The owner's suite was part of a 3-story addition and features a stunning vaulted ceiling, tons of windows, a cedar walk-in closet, a private outdoor terrace, and a gas fireplace. The bath features a clawfoot tub, double sinks, towel warmer and stand up shower.  The walkout lower level has a large recreation room with full size windows, spiral staircase leading to the kitchen and great room, and French doors that will take you to the extensively landscaped yard and patio.  A bedroom with full bathroom and walk-in closet is located on this level as well as two large unfinished rooms that could be completed for additional living space or functions incredibly for storage.  This home is conveniently located just blocks away from the restaurants and shopping of Bethesda Row, Bethesda Metro Station, Whole Foods and multiple access points in and out of DC and Maryland.
