Welcome to this immaculately maintained brick rambler in super close-in Bethesda!  Filled with natural light, this 3-4BR, 3 bath home has a lovely covered front porch with a porch swing (conveys) that beckons you into the foyer. The main level features include a large living room with a bay window and a wood-burning fireplace, and a spacious dining room.  Adjacent to the dining room is the updated, open kitchen with granite tops, a sunny breakfast area, a family room, and access to the one-car garage. Three bedrooms and two updated baths are on the upper level.  Gleaming wood floors throughout and full staircase access to the attic for future finishing/expansion or additional storage. The lower level has a generous family room with a gas fireplace, a rec room/guest bedroom, a full bath, an all-purpose laundry room with enough space for a second kitchen, exercise area or workshop/storage. The lower level would work well for an in-law suite as well. The family room has a full daylight walk-up stairs to rear yard. Delightful outdoor features include the huge screened-in porch addition and the cheerful composite, no-maintenance deck. The fully fenced backyard showcases specimen trees/plantings and a great storage shed.  NIH and Walter Reed National Medical Center campuses are around the corner, and the shops and dining of Bethesda/North Bethesda are nearby. Metro is within walking distance, and 495 & 270 and Rock Creek Park are also close.
