Charming and cheerful, this white-washed brick Colonial exudes a classic feel while maintaining the advantages of its extremely convenient location. Sited in the beloved "Westbrook Neighborhood," 5005 Baltimore Avenue is just steps to Spring Valley, the new Westbard Square, and the Capital Crescent Trail.
With a winding stone walkway and blooming flower beds, coming home elicits feelings of warmth regardless of season. Just off the formal entry, the generously proportioned living room with fireplace allows for grand entertaining or comfortable daily living. The floorplan is deceptively clever with ideal circulation to formal dining, eat-in kitchen with built-in breakfast bar, and expanded family room creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living. Enjoy coffee or late-night snacks in the cheery kitchen, complete with custom island and ample counter space. The sun-drenched family room on the main floor features built-ins, access to the back garden, and space for work or play.
The second level offers three bedrooms and three full baths. The ultimate luxury? A primary suite that includes laundry, vaulted-ceiling sitting room (use as dressing room or office), and dual en suite baths for extreme convenience. Two more bedrooms with refinished wood floors, closets, a hall full bath, and extra attic storage provide additional flexibility.
The finished lower level features a bright and spacious recreation room, updated powder room, utility and ample storage. Whole-house solar system, water proofing, sump pump, and fastidiously maintained systems create peace-of-mind.
The private back garden features a wide deck, stone patio, and foliage that results in an easy, maintenance-free escape for friends -- furry and otherwise. The mature plantings create a perfect place for al fresco dining, fire pit gatherings, or tyke-trikes galore, along with the usefulness of a detached garage with alley access and space for vehicle or storage.
Named one of Bethesda Magazine's Great Neighborhoods, the "Westbrook Neighborhood" continues to delight residents decade after decade with tidy brick homes and manicured yards winding along a classic street-scape. 5005 Baltimore Avenue is a short stroll to the neighborhood gem, Millie's, the home-town butcher at Wagshal's, and sidewalk dining at Pizzeria Paradiso and Compass Coffee, Crate & Barrel, and the Spring Valley Shopping Center. Just a mile or so to the Friendship Heights Metro and all its conveniences, dining, shopping, grocery, medical offices, and more. Westbrook Elementary, Westland Middle, and B-CC High schools serve the neighborhood. In-bounds for the Little Falls Swimming Club.
