    Welcome to 5909 Cromwell Drive, Bethesda, MD 20816 — where timeless charm meets exceptional space. Wood Acres is one of Bethesda’s most coveted neighborhoods, this expanded two-story colonial sits on a beautiful, level backyard and offers the perfect blend of character, comfort, and livability. Step through the front door into a welcoming foyer with a coat closet, opening to a formal living room or private office featuring glass doors, built-in shelving, wood blinds, and a beautiful wood-burning fireplace with a classic mantel — the perfect spot to unwind. Across the foyer, the formal dining room impresses with elegant wainscoting, built-in shelving, and a striking bow picture window that floods the room with natural light. The updated kitchen functions beautifully, offering granite countertops, under-cabinet lighting, and glass display cabinets. A GE refrigerator (2025), gas cooktop (2017), wall oven, warming drawer, dishwasher (2017) ,and microwave make cooking and entertaining effortless. A cheerful breakfast alcove surrounded by windows provides the perfect place to start the day. Pocket doors lead seamlessly into the family room. Just off the kitchen, a laundry room with shelving and storage opens directly to the deck and backyard for easy access to outdoor living. At the heart of the home lies the magnificent family room addition — a truly special space surrounded by windows and bathed in natural light.
