    What's special

    Tucked into one of Bethesda's most beautiful neighborhoods, this pristine Cape Cod has been extensively renovated by renowned Jendell Construction, who were mindful of keeping the original character intact. Skylights and transom windows infuse the living spaces with natural light, creating a home that is warm and inviting. The main level opens to a handsome living room with a fireplace and leads to the chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry, a farmhouse-style apron sink, a Viking 6-burner range and a stunning tile backsplash. The kitchen includes counter seating and opens to a sitting room. Just off the kitchen, the dining room is enhanced by soaring ceilings and transom windows, crafting a perfect backdrop for entertaining. The dining room opens to a fabulous screened porch with a soaring ceiling, gorgeous wood shiplap walls and views of the level, landscaped backyard. This three-season room steps out to a deck and down to the fully fenced backyard, which offers so much space for gardening or play. There is ample room for a pool. Ideal for the buyer seeking one-level living, a hallway on the opposite side of the main level leads to 3 bedrooms and 2 renovated baths. Each bedroom possesses a personality of its own and all have ample closets and space for furniture. Stairs lead to the upper level, which offers a fabulous loft-style space with a bedroom on one end, a renovated bath, and a room that is perfect for a home office, homework area, playroom, etc. From the main level, a French door opens to the lower level, which is appointed with engineered hardwood floors, built-in cabinets and extensive lighting. You will find a fitness room, family room/media room, a large bedroom and another full bath. The custom bar includes wine refrigeration and all the accessories you need to craft your favorite cocktails! The lower level is ideal for so many uses; as a home office space, a playroom, or exactly as the current owners have enjoyed it. This design flexibility is exactly what makes this home so appealing! The residence is located on a quiet street but is moments to downtown Bethesda, commuting corridors and the area's best public and private schools. It has easy access to the city, airports and every amenity in the nation's capitol. With its warmly inviting spaces, state-of-the-art renovations and classic architectural style, this home offers the best in both form and function. CONTRACTS TUESDAY SEPT 1, 2 pm
