Welcome to 6218 Massachusetts Ave, a spacious and updated 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom residence offering an exceedingly rare 5,402 SQFT in the highly sought-after Wood Acres/Pyle/Whitman school district. Conveniently set back from the street offering both privacy and sound mitigation, this turn-key gem has been fully refreshed in 2025 with all-new paint throughout and beautifully refinished hardwood floors. Designed with both comfort and functionality in mind, the home features well-proportioned and interconnected living, dining, and family rooms, creating an ideal flow for both everyday living and entertaining. Expansive Renewal by Andersen windows fill the space with natural light, while the generous room sizes allow for a natural progression between formal and casual spaces. A double-height breakfast room with skylights and floor-to-ceiling windows adjoins the chef's kitchen complete with black granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, offering stunning natural light and a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. The main level features three oversized bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with ample closet space and a renovated en-suite bathroom featuring a steam shower. Two additional well-proportioned bedrooms share a tastefully renovated bathroom, thoughtfully updated for everyday living. Upstairs, a SECOND primary suite with a walk-in closet, primary bath with jacuzzi tub and private outdoor space provides additional flexibility. Having previously served as an artist’s studio, it is already equipped with extra plumbing and exhaust, making it easy to customize into the studio, home office, or creative workspace of your dreams! Additionally, the nearly 2000 SQFT lower level offers access to the attached two-car garage and includes a private suite with separate entrance, kitchenette and spacious family room making it ideal for a guest space, au pair suite, or an opportunity to earn rental income. Lastly, the property features three discrete outdoor spaces, including a hardscaped back patio, spacious side yard and an oasis in the front perched high above the street completely surrounded by mature foliage. Homes of this size are rarely available at this price. In fact, no home over 5,000 SQFT has sold under $2M in the past two years in Glen Echo Heights or Wood Acres! For added convenience, the property is situated on the bus line to the Bethesda and Friendship Heights Metro and is perfectly located for those who commute into DC (2.5 miles from the DC border) or Virginia (easy access to I-495). Enjoy the proximity to many of the areas top private and international schools, restaurants and shopping centers, including Sangamore Shopping Center and soon to be completed Westbard Square, in addition to convenient neighborhood amenities such as the extensively renovated community pool and playground, historic Glen Echo Park and the tennis courts at Cabin John Park.
