OPPORTUNITY AWAITS! 5805 Roosevelt Street is a charming, classic center-hall Colonial on a generous 6700 sq ft corner lot in the heart of Bethesda’s much desired and close-in Bradmoor neighborhood. Its traditional layout preserved architectural character, flexible rooms, and expansive outdoor space create a compelling setting for a buyer seeking a move-in ready home with tremendous possibilities to renovate and/or expand, as well as a possible developer opportunity. The main level is filled with abundant natural light and retains original wood floors that grace the home’s main and top levels. A fireplace anchors the living room, and an updated kitchen opens to the dining area for practical, everyday living. Two additional first-floor bonus rooms can serve as family rooms and/or offices. A full bath on this level is a big plus that adds flexibility. Just outside the family room and kitchen doors is a patio that transitions to a large backyard enclosed by a white picket fence. On the second level are three bedrooms with two full baths. The primary bedroom features a large closet and en suite bath. A hall bath conveniently serves the other two bedrooms. The lower level of the home adds more adaptable space, with a finished recreation room with fireplace, and storage area. A separate unfinished area includes laundry, plumbing in place and awaits your creativity for expanded living space. The lower level has its own separate entrance. The location is fantastic, just blocks to Johns Hopkins Suburban Hospital and the National Institutes of Health. The RideOn Bus stops right near the home and serves the medical centers and the Bethesda Metro stop. Downtown Bethesda, Wildwood Shopping Center, the Beltway, Chevy Chase, Friendship Heights and DC are very easily accessed. The home is in the Walt Whitman High School MCPS cluster.
