Property Description
Space, light and opportunities abound in this historic Bethesda Colonial 4BR/3BA home. 4701 River Road is an updated and expanded home that offers a move-in ready oasis sited on a huge lot (over a quarter of an acre) and located a mere one-tenth of a mile to the DC line.
You will be enchanted by this home as you arrive, with its charming storybook exterior, picket-fenced yard and blooming landscaping. Upon entering the home, you will begin to envision the gatherings you'll host, because the layout encourages friends and family to come together and enjoy the grand common rooms and the easy indoor-outdoor flow. From the cozy entry foyer, the delightful formal parlor welcomes you with its warm oak floors. A separate sunroom/den with windows on two sides and French that let light flow through the home sits adjacent to the parlor. This space could be perfect as a home office, play room, or cozy reading room.
The show-stopping dining room will be the envy of all who visit. This banquet-sized room features soaring cathedral ceilings, a gas fireplace with stone surround, and custom double-height Palladian-style windows flanking the fireplace. Conveniently located across the hall from the smart, efficient kitchen makes hosting dinners a breeze. The spacious kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, warm, quality wood cabinetry, a pantry and an adjoining breakfast room with views to the beautiful side yard.
Next is the expansive family room, a feature not always found in traditional Colonial homes. This one will impress with its size, another gas fireplace, and its beautiful windows on two sides showcasing the stunning lot. Sliding French doors lead to the huge patios, perfect for garden parties and barbecues. Rounding out this level is a spacious bedroom with its own doors to the yard, and an updated full bath with a charming claw-foot tub – an ideal arrangement for those seeking main level living.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers an idyllic sanctuary, with its vaulted ceiling, sweet balcony, ample closet space, large en suite bath with double vanities, extra storage, and a stone and tile walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms, a third full bathroom, upstairs laundry, and a huge linen closet round out this level. And the gleaming wood floors continue on this level.
Outdoors, the lot is truly special and can accommodate all types of outdoor fun and gatherings. The large flat area with a classic stone fireplace at one end and mature landscaping all around would be a perfect venue for yard games, while the grand heritage trees and perennial flowering plantings surround the second patio and make a perfect spot for birdwatching or s'mores around a fire pit. The home also offers garage parking and driveway space for 2 additional cars and an unfinished basement for excellent additional storage.
If more enticement were needed, this home is superbly located. Literally just seconds away from the DC line and within walking distance (.5 miles) to the Friendship Heights Metro, this home will make your commute a breeze. Friendship Heights also offers excellent shopping (Whole Foods, Total Wine, Trader Joe's, Bloomingdales) and dining options (Lia's, Clyde's, Sushiko, Capital Grille). Outdoor fun abounds with quick access to the Capital Crescent Trail and innumerable county parks and recreation centers. Located within the sought-after Bethesda-Chevy Chase HS pyramid (Westbrook Elementary, Westland Middle) and with easy access to area private schools.
This delightful home will surprise and enchant you at every turn.
