Set back from the road on a wide, sunny, 3/4 -acre lot in the south end of Potomac this inviting mid-century 1950's ranch offers an exceptional combination of space, charm, and flexibility. With more than 5,000 sq feet, there are generous living spaces, four bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms, and an updated kitchen to provide plenty of room for everyday life and entertaining. Off the sunroom is a fabulous veranda overlooking the yard, ideal for morning coffee, evening barbecues or afternoon tea. The original baths add distinctive mid-century modern touches and character, while a paneled home office/library offers an ideal retreat for telecommuters. The expansive lower level is a standout, featuring a walk-out family room, bedroom, full bath, kitchenette, and extraordinary additional spaces for storage, hobbies and recreation - perfect for guests, an au-pair, or extended living. An elevator provides convenient access between levels. Major updates include a new furnace in 2021, a water heater in 2024, and a new roof in 2023. Outside, the property shines with a broad sunny yard framed by gorgeous azaleas and an array of established perennial plantings. Plenty of room for play, maybe even a treehouse or playset. Gardeners will love the possibilities, with ample room for additional beds and fruit trees. A large driveway and two-car garage provide abundant parking and storage. And for commuters, the location offers easy access to the Beltway, just minutes away. The bus stop on Bradley Rd takes you to the Bethesda Metro Station. The shopping center and village is just 2 miles to the west of this home. Don't miss this special opportunity to enjoy a spacious, established home on a beautiful lot in a highly convenient Potomac setting.
