About This Home
As of April 2025A stone's throw from the D.C. line, tucked away in the beloved, tree-lined Bethesda neighborhood of Glen Cove, this picture-perfect Cape Cod blends small-town charm with unbeatable proximity to Friendship Heights. Featuring three bedrooms and two full baths across three finished levels, this gem lives large with thoughtful updates, classic details, and spaces made for everyday ease and weekend entertaining.
Curb appeal begins with the professionally landscaped lot and inviting flagstone walkway that guides guests to the front stoop. Inside, the sun-drenched living room is anchored by a wood-burning brick fireplace and enhanced with crown moulding and a bay window with a built-in bench – perfect for morning coffee or curling up with a book. French doors lead to a separate dining room that has served as a cozy den or home office.
The eat-in kitchen is efficient and bright, with gas cooking, abundant counter space, and direct access to the fenced backyard and rear patio – ready for summer BBQs or quiet dinners under the stars. A main-level bedroom and full bath offer flexibility for guests, a home office, or a playroom.
Upstairs, you'll find two spacious bedrooms, generous closet storage, and another full bath. The lower level expands your living space with a finished recreation room ideal for movie nights, guest overflow, or a playroom, plus a dedicated laundry and utility area.
The rear yard is fully fenced, beautifully maintained, and offers just the right amount of green space for gardening, play, or pets. Additional storage, both inside and out, makes for easy living.
In-bounds for Little Falls Swimming Club, and just steps to Friendship Heights Metro, Westbard Square, Spring Valley (DC), and the Capital Crescent Trail. Westbrook, Westland, and B-CC schools serve the property. No condo fees, just easy living in an award-winning neighborhood. Welcome to your next chapter.
