Offering six bedrooms, a spacious and sunlit family room, a main-level office, and a two-car garage—all set on a beautifully level lot—this residence is a true gem in the heart of Sumner. Step into the welcoming foyer with a convenient coat closet, leading to a bright and expansive living room with a wood-burning fireplace and bay window overlooking the front yard. Additional windows frame views of the serene backyard, creating an abundance of natural light throughout. The formal dining room connects seamlessly to a kitchen with table space, ready for your personal touch, and opens directly to a lovely patio, deck, and backyard—perfect for entertaining or quiet enjoyment. The main level also includes a private office with an adjacent half bath and a family room drenched in sunlight, surrounded by windows and anchored by a second wood-burning fireplace. Upstairs, the first upper level features four generously sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The expansive primary suite offers exceptional closet space and an en suite bath.

The fully finished lower level, with brand-new flooring, and a third wood-burning fireplace is ideal for a recreation or playroom and includes access to both the backyard and the attached two-car garage. This level also features a powder room, laundry area, and utility/storage room. Sumner is renowned for its strong sense of community, attractive streets, and well-crafted homes.

Early advertisements for the community proudly declared, “In Miller Built Communities, Life is Really Living.” This neighborhood embraces a true community spirit—neighbors are friends, and cherished traditions like the annual Halloween parade bring residents together year after year. Surrounded by lush parks and scenic trails, including the Capital Crescent Trail leading to downtown Bethesda, Georgetown, and beyond, Sumner offers easy access to nature and city life alike. Nearby shopping and dining options include The Shops at Sumner Place, the redeveloped Westbard Square, and Whole Foods. The neighborhood is served by highly regarded public schools: •

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
