WELCOME to 4520 N. CHELSEA LANE IN East BETHESDA! Beautifully situated on a leafy block of Glenbrook Village, this 1938 Cape Cod has been lovingly and thoughtfully updated from top to bottom - it's truly move-in ready while keeping all the character that makes homes in East Bethesda so special. From the moment you walk in, you'll feel right at home. The sun-filled living room boasts a wood-burning fireplace and original charm that never goes out of style. Just off the living room, a bright sunroom (with new heating and cooling) makes the perfect family room. The large formal dining room flows seamlessly into the brand-new kitchen, where quartz countertops, a decorative subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances (including a microwave drawer), an added pantry, and a sunny eat-in area with a bay window overlooking the backyard make everyday cooking and entertaining a joy. Two comfortable main-level bedrooms and a beautifully renovated bath complete the first floor. Upstairs. You'll find two more bedrooms, another updated bath, and a wonderful playroom or study area with new carpeting and added heating and cooling - plus a flexible bonus nook that's perfect for reading or working from home. The lower level offers even more space, featuring all-new luxury vinyl plank flooring, a third full bathroom, a spacious laundry room, and a door that leads to the backyard. Outside, you'll find a spacious patio and a large, grassy area perfect for gardening, play, or simply enjoying the outdoors! With its freshly refinished spaces and classic good looks, this home is the best of both worlds - authentic 1930s charm and modern comfort. It's not a builder flip or a teardown rebuild - it's simply a well-loved, beautifully refreshed Cape Cod that's ready for its next chapter. A one-car garage and two-car driveway complete the picture. And finally, the location couldn't be better - just steps to the Bethesda Metro, NIH, and all the restaurants, shops, and energy of downtown Bethesda. Come fall in love with this happy, sun-drenched home in one of Bethesda's most beloved neighborhoods!
