About This Home

As of October 2024

Classic charm with this updated 1953 brick Colonial, mere steps to Spring Valley (DC), Friendship Heights, the new Westbard Square, and the Capital Crescent Trail. Meticulously maintained, this three bedroom, three-and-one-half bath home enjoys sun-drenched spaces and excellent flow on three levels of living. Beautifully landscaped grounds and gardens frame the picturesque property and backyard. Quintessential details including hardwood floors, recessed lighting, cathedral and tray ceilings, a fireplace, and an attached garage. From Massachusetts Avenue, steps lead you to the front door. The first floor includes a center-hall foyer, a gracious living room, an elegant dining room, a sizable family room off of the kitchen with a bright and cheerful breakfast area, a sunroom, and a powder room. Kitchen is functional with opportunity to expand or update to today's style. Upstairs is highlighted by the spacious owner’s bedroom with multiple custom closets, built-ins, and en suite full bathroom. Two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath adorn the second floor, and a walk-up unfinished attic provides ample storage and a finishing opportunity. The basement with a separate entrance offers a recreation room; or use as a open fourth bedroom and full bathroom, creating possibilities for an in-law or au pair suite. 5211 Massachusetts Avenue benefits from neighborhood parks and trails and is convenient to Friendship Heights, Spring Valley, downtown Bethesda, the Capital Crescent Trail, and major transportation routes.
