Don't miss this unbeatable home at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Maplewood/Alta Vista—this impressive 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom colonial blends classic charm with modern comfort in one of Bethesda’s most convenient and desirable locations. Beautiful stained glass welcomes you at the front door, setting the tone for the thoughtful details throughout the home. Inside, spacious, light-filled living areas with hardwood floors and timeless architectural touches offer both comfort and character. The main level features a combined living and family room anchored by a cozy fireplace, along with two additional rooms perfect for bedrooms, offices, or flex space. Just off the main living area, a stunning sunroom/office offers a serene escape with vaulted ceilings and two walls of large windows that bring in abundant natural light. Whether you're working from home or relaxing with a book, this space offers peace, privacy, and a strong connection to the outdoors. The kitchen is bright, functional, and well-equipped, featuring stainless steel appliances, generous cabinet space, and a sunny breakfast nook framed by a bay window that overlooks the private backyard. Just off the kitchen, a screened porch with vaulted beam ceilings creates a perfect retreat—ideal for morning coffee or quiet evenings, rain or shine. Step further out onto the large rear deck, designed for effortless outdoor entertaining and weekend barbecues. Upstairs, you'll find four large bedrooms with plenty of closet space and natural light. The fully finished, daylight walkout lower level further expands the living space. It features a spacious recreation room with high ceilings, a wall of built-in cabinets, and plenty of room to relax or entertain. This level also includes a bedroom and full bathroom, plus two separate storage rooms to help keep everything organized. The walkout leads to a beautifully landscaped backyard with room to entertain, garden, or enjoy a quiet afternoon outdoors. Located just one block from Maplewood/Alta Vista Local Park and minutes from two Metro stations and downtown Bethesda, this home offers the perfect blend of space, setting, and convenience.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
