A classic and gracious sun-filled four-level brick colonial with a bright foyer, large living room with fireplace, formal dining room, den/office, and main level powder room. Exquisite details: crown molding throughout, nearly 9' ceilings, gleaming hardwood flooring. Kitchen is updated with granite countertop space, stainless appliances, and access to back covered terrace. Springtime brings resplendent rose buses to life on the custom arbor that highlights the deep, verdant backyard. The yard is completely private, and delights with its winding path and multitudes of plantings. Upper bedroom level boasts three large bedrooms and two baths. Dedicated full stairway leads to the enormous upper-level fourth bedroom. Finished walk-out lower level includes spacious family room with fireplace, more storage, utility with access to gardens, quarter-bath, and large laundry area. Set back from the road on a professionally landscaped lot, this home has an attached garage and plenty of parking for your guests. Located just two blocks north of Westmoreland Circle, this is a "must tour" home in the Bethesda subdivision of Westgate, a delightful community named one of Bethesda Magazine's "Great Neighborhoods." Surrounded by green spaces and commuting conveniences, amenities abound in nearby Spring Valley, Friendship Heights, and Downtown Bethesda. Stroll to Millie?s, Pizza Paradiso or Compass Coffee; or bike along the Capital Crescent Trail. Location is ideal for commuting or working / school at home. Westbrook, Westland, and B-CC schools serve the neighborhood. Welcome home to 5229 Massachusetts Avenue.
